As it turns out, there is a fairly simple way of proving this. And, as it turns out, you yourself will be one of the test subjects in the experiment, whether you want to be or not. Just pay attention to what happens at the moment of your death, and then *keep* paying attention. Reporting your research to others and getting it published may be a little more difficult, however. :-) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
