World renowned Physicist Stephen Hawking says there is no heaven because the human brain is a like a computer that will stop working when its components fail. This seems rather genuine as every element of a computer is based on logic gates which are merely electronic switching devices. When fail they are dumped into waste boxes.
Our experience with life and death is quite similar. Dead bodies are mere waste that are either cremated or laid in graves where it has no significance even if covered with beautiful granite slabs. And another dead body comes in the same place in a cemetery after five or ten years. Life after death is an ideal abstraction which is beyond human perception.
The observation of Hawking would not immediately affect the prospects of clergies and swamis who live and earn by preaching about life after death and heaven. Nevertheless, one day they would have to admit what Hawking said now. This I say because once flat earth later turned to be spherical in accordance with the physicists of yesteryears.
