i got a theory similar to that.
The white light can be explained by shock or an overload of the senses, particularly the eyes.

When i crashed today, i got pulled forward fairly hard. Your vision feels squeezed and shit. You see white dots and sparks all over the place afterwards. I assume it was because of some oxygen deprivation or the quick activation of para/sympathetic nervous systems which flood your body with hormones and shit.

The "life flashes before my eyes" things that people describe can be explained by what you stated. The brain tries to make sense of what is happening. Your memories are pretty much scattered everywhere. As you start to lose sensation, the brain tries to stay active. Similarly to what happens in a dream where memories resurface through random images cuz of no brain activity and brain tries to make sense of crap, this can happen if all senses are fading out. Since memory is probably the last thing to go since it's all over the place, it's what you last experience.


death is a weird yet interesting topic if you're into neurology and thanatology :0

I came in your face when I shot you.

Why would the brain send a massive amount of electric signals if one is enough to shut down a body part? Why would it keep sending them if the body part(s) is already shut down? This would cost more energy, which in term would make the brain last shorter.

My theory is that as you're dying, the electric signals go crazy and light up the light bulb in your head (the one when you get ideas) and that's the light you see.

My theory is you see what you believe you are going to see. When you die it is whatever you believe in (Heaven, reincarnation, etc)

Because life would be fun that way.

Well it's not imaginable. When you die you lose your conscience. And your conscience is all you have. When you sleep you don't remember what happens, if you pass out you don't know what's happening around you. Therefore when your brain dies, unless something like a soul exists, you will cease to exist as well and there will be nothing. You wont be writing on this board, you wont be 3rd person viewing the world you wont be thinking. Nothing, just like when you sleep except for there being no waking up again nor any dreams.

You don't dream when you're dead. Your brain gives off specific brain waves when you're in REM sleep(dreaming). These aren't found in the brain of a dead person :0

PS: The soul doesn't exist. Consciousness is the byproduct of how humans evolved. To be more precise on how consciousness develops, take a look at the language centers of your brain(frontal lobe), the motor cortex responsible for movement(mainly your fingers), the walking/balance centers(cerebellum), and sight(the occipital lobe).

The way that these areas are located around the brain allowed more exchange in neural activity which in turn allowed survival and the ability to communicate via speech. How exactly you communicate and why is all dependent on genetic/environmental factors when your brain was developing(1st years of life, and then again during teen years).

Its not like people use the "white light theory" to support religion. :S
