In the modern theories of the Cosmos is there any place for heaven or another existence after this life?

Update:

I didn't put this in the category of religion as I wanted an answer from a scientific standpoint not some vague answer invoking faith. How many religious persons would understand the latest theories of the Cosmos.

    Of course .. where such things have always been, in your head (mind, imagination)

    Let's look at the facts. Cogito ergo sum is all I can be 100% certain of. I know I feel pain. Others appear to. When they appear to, I feel pain. Physical pain. When my 10 year old son was hit by a truck, my pain was worse than when I was hit, two months later. It was gut wrenching.

    Pain is data. an infinite amount can fit into a finite time/space. Our brains are one way of manipulating this data. Studies show spooky action at a distance really happens. My guess it is a rotation of the axis of the gravity wave.

    The ancient writings say there is a heaven and eternal life. but there are all kinds of contracictions in the ancient writings. I have a nutrition label with a contraciction on it, but there is good info that can be gleaned. Time , like space, is nothing. What exists is dynamics. Progeria shows, in my mind, thousand year life spans are possible. I saw a beast rise out of the sea, 2,000 years BEFORE Darwin. I knew his biochemical makeup, carbon 12, atomic number 666, 2,000 year ago.

    Is revelation 13 talking about evolution and biochemistry? Nobody can say for sure, but it might be. And that fact, it might be, is pretty deep and profound.

    Yes it is possible, we only perceive 4 dimensions: up-down, left-right, forward-backward, and time.

    String theory predicts there are dimensions of space that we do not perceive. Therefore it is possible that a totally foreign world exists on a higher plane (one where time travel, back and forth, perhaps is possible). Now, before you get excited, String theory also states that these extra dimensions are tied up into elementary particles and are thus inaccesible to us.

    No matter what the case above, the existence of a perceivable "heaven", at the very least, implies the existence of a soul that can somehow become disconnected with our physical body (since your physical "self" cannot experience heaven, unless you consider the use of drugs). There is NO evidence that suggests this...if it were common we would see signs ALL the time.

    In a religious context, no. Everything in the Universe moves towards entropy - a state of chaos and disorder.

    Actually, biological life is as close to "heaven", "divine" or any other glorified concepts as it gets. Biological life is a miracle in itself because, as an individual system, it can decrease its internal entropy by using resources from the outside and discarding them in a degraded form. Once this function ceases (that is, when an organism dies), the inevitable road to entropy starts again. The corpse decomposes, its complex structures break down and become part of something else.

    In a bigger picture, there might be more dimensions and higher-dimensional or parallel worlds, but I'm pretty sure that existence there would go by the same rules as in ours.

    You should have asked this in Spirituality & Religion. Although I don't see much difference.

    There are so many misconceptions.

    SO MANY!.

    Basically: no, there isn't.

    The closest you could get would be the existence of parallel universes, which may exist (we aren't sure), but no afterlife.

    No.
