Our consciousness simply creates what we perceive to be the universe, and without the individual, there is nothing, says Dr Robert Lanza, head of Astellas Global Regenerative Medicine.
He believes that time and space cannot be measured, but are just concepts made up by our minds to help us store information – “they’re the mind’s tools for putting everything together.”
Dr Lanza is of the belief that consciousness exists through energy which is contained in our bodies and is released once our physical beings cease in a process he calls ‘biocentrism’.
As such, when our physical bodies die, the energy of our consciousness could continue on a quantum level.
The theory is based on Albert Einstein’s famous quote, when he said: “Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.”

In a blog for the Huffington Post, Dr Lanza says: “In fact, it was Einstein’s theory of relativity that showed that space and time are indeed relative to the observer.”
He adds: “If the world is observer-created, we shouldn’t be surprised that it’s destroyed with each of us.
“Nor should we be surprised that space and time vanish, and with them all Newtonian conceptions of order and prediction.”
Dr Lanza points to Einstein’s belief that space and time are interconnected concepts, and one cannot exist without the other.
Dr Lanza takes this a step further and says that neither can exist without us – the observer – and that the consciousness simply reemerges in a different point in spacetime after death.
He said: “We think that the past is past and the future the future. But as Einstein realised, this simply isn’t the case.
“Without consciousness, space and time are nothing; in reality you can take any time — whether past or future − as your new frame of reference.
“Death is a reboot that leads to all potentialities.”
