THE HUMAN NATURE AND ETERNAL OBLIVION

Isaac Asimov said, "When I die I won't go to heaven or hell, there will just be nothingness."

Oblivion, or eternal oblivion, is the philosophical concept that the individual self experiences a state of permanent unconsciousness after death. Belief in oblivion contradicts beliefs that there is an afterlife, such as a heaven, purgatory or hell, after death. The belief in "eternal oblivion" stems from the idea that the brain creates the mind; therefore, when the brain dies, the mind ceases to exist. Some reporters describe this state as "nothingness".
