Subject: Conservation of energy (reprise!)

So there I was tonight...watching a show on the Discovery Channel about a family in Georgia, USA, who've been living with ghosts for years. That got me thinking about this web site that I posted on about a year-and-a-half ago. Imagine my surprise when I saw all the feedback for "Conservation of energy!" I'd given up, there, thinking that no one else had any thoughts. Well, I suppose I was wrong.

A little background...I'm a fireman. In fact, I was on shift at the firestation when I wrote that post. I've since been to paramedic school (yes, of course I passed!) and learned a little about how the body creates electricity. I won't get into details, but the body creates action potentials by shuffling positive and negative ions around until the polarity reaches a point where there's enough energy to do whatever's required--such as cardiac contraction.

So how does this tie in with the conservation of energy post? I have no idea. Actually, I'm pretty sure the two don't relate.

I am a little surprised, though, that I haven't experienced any paranormal activity. In my line of work, I've seen a lot of people off to the "other side." You'd think that would have some kind of an effect, but no. Here's something that you guys might find interesting, though... I work with a guy who actually had a CPR save in the back of an ambulance (a very rare occurrence.) While the guy was clinically dead--cardiac and repiratory arrest--my friend was doing chest compressions on him, cursing at him all the while. "Come on, G--dammit! Don't you die on me, you M.F.-er!" That sort of thing. Well, at some point the guy regained consciousness. Breathing on his own and everything. The lucky fellow told my friend that he could hear him the whole time. He remembered the cursing and everything! My friend never said if the guy had the floating above the whole scene, looking down at himself sort of experience. I also don't know the down time that the brain was deprived of oxygen.

This scenario kind of sheds a little light on what's happening to a person's soul when the body has died. At least, I think it does. Any thoughts? Comments?

Doug
