This is basically where the mathematics have shown that as one enters the event horizon, the observer believes that a person entering a black hole is ripped to shreds, while the person going in is actually not effected at all. Also they are now showing that some forms of energy are actually LEAVING black holes rather than being sucked down into the singularity.

I don't think I've seen that one. My first thought is that...sh*t....It doesn't seem that whatever happens to a person in the black hole, or that if some forms of energy are leaving black holes, that that means that energy is destroyed. Quite the opposite. So while that is extremely interesting, I can't pinpoint as to where it would effect the theory of energy. In other words, it still indicates that energy cannot be created or destroyed, just change forms. The new twirl is that energy does so much more crazy sh*t than we ever knew about before. I hope I read your thing right, I think I did. I'm actually not very "good" at science, but I love it and do my best. Yeah, I got it I think. The latest fascinating thing I saw was about string and (vs.?) chaos theory.

In my experience, science has show that consciousness (or did you really mean conscience?) is a form of energy. In fact, IMO, that is a basic tenent of human biology and all the other good science stuff. But, I would hesitate to say that the mind could create its' own afterlife. Very hesitant. However, it does appear that this energy can take different forms, chosen ones, so I just kind of changed my mind about that.
And of course energy can always transport without a "body". The thing that confuses me is, what about the energy that doesn't make ghosts and wolves and spooky happenings? It probably takes other forms, but why? Why does some energy communicate with us, and some doesn't? Or, really, is all energy past and present "communicating" with the world at all times, just not in a "human" way that we understand? That is what I am inclined to believe.

Wow, I'd NEVER heard that!!! That is really fascinating! And so appropriate, don't you think? Of course that would be hell.
Oh, and where was the hell in ancient times?
Damn, I got a guy who's hella way smart, that was quite the small but surmountable challenge, in addition to being a fun conversation and a fount of info. All my favorite things at once.
