Ralph Caspers explains why you don't have to be afraid of dying and what actually happens when you die. Unfortunately, we all have to die at some point. Most people are afraid of dying and the last minutes of their lives. But is this fear justified? Or is dying actually something peaceful and calming? To answer this, Ralph looks into what happens to us when we die. Dying is a process. When the heart stops beating, blood is no longer pumped through the body. Little by little, the organs fail. We die gradually, not suddenly. But what do you actually notice when you die? There are many reports of near-death experiences in which people talk about a light at the end of the tunnel or out-of-body experiences. In this video, Ralph shows you how science explains such near-death experiences when dying, what bizarre discoveries science has made with cells and the brain, and whether dying hurts.
