In that matter, we will continue to live forever. Part of you will maybe turn to grass, which will be eaten by a cow, which will be eaten by a pregnant woman. So a tiny part of you will actually be reborn as a new human being! On a related note: It is also quite cool to think about that each and every one of us consists of stardust.
But I have to disappoint you about the counsciousness part. Thoughts are just electrochemical reactions inside our brains. They do not have mass or energy, nor can they exist outside our brains. Therefore, they cease to exist once we die :/
Thank you. I read this post and it's exactly what I was pondering. Now I'm not as scared.
