Beyond the threshold of life. Design scientist experience

The leading designer of OKB "Impulse" Vladimir Efremov was, as they say, "in the next world" for 8 minutes. How is it different from ours? How does a prominent scientist describe the world in which people find themselves after death?

Leading designer of OKB "Impulse" Vladimir Efremov died suddenly. He began coughing, sat down on the sofa and was quiet. At first, the relatives did not understand what the terrible thing had happened. We thought that I sat down to rest. Natalya was the first to get out of her daze. She touched her brother on the shoulder: Volodya, what's the matter with you? Efremov fell helplessly on his side. Natalya tried to feel for a pulse. My heart was not beating! She began to do artificial respiration, but my brother was not breathing. Natalya, herself a physician, knew that the chances of salvation were diminishing by the minute.

Tried to "get" the heart, massaging the chest. The eighth minute was ending, when her palms felt a faint return jolt. The heart turned on. Vladimir Grigorievich breathed himself.

- Alive! - hugged his sister. “We thought you were dead. That’s all, the end!

“There’s no end,” whispered Vladimir Grigorievich. - There is also life. But another one. It is better…

Vladimir Grigorievich wrote down his experiences during clinical death in all details. His testimonies are invaluable. This is the first scientific study of the afterlife by a scientist who has experienced death himself. Vladimir Grigorievich published his observations in the journal, and then spoke about them at a scientific congress. His talk on the afterlife was a sensation.

- It's impossible to think of such a thing! - said Professor Anatoly Smirnov, head of the International Club of Scientists.

The reputation of Vladimir Efremov in scientific circles is impeccable.

He is a prominent specialist in the field of artificial intelligence, for a long time he worked at OKB "Impulse". Participated in the launch of Gagarin, contributed to the development of the latest rocket systems. His research team received the State Prize four times.

“Before his clinical death, he considered himself an absolute atheist,” says Vladimir Grigorievich.

- I trusted only the facts. He considered all discussions about the afterlife as a religious dope. To be honest, I didn't think about death then. There were so many things to do in the service that even ten lives could not be sorted out. There was no time to even be treated - my heart was naughty, chronic bronchitis tortured me, other ailments annoyed me. On March 12, at the house of my sister, Natalya Grigorievna, I had a coughing fit. I felt like I was suffocating. The lungs did not obey me, tried to breathe in - and could not! The body became wadded, the heart stopped. The last air came out of his lungs with wheezing and foam. The thought flashed through my mind that this was the last second of my life. But consciousness for some reason did not turn off. Suddenly there was a feeling of extraordinary lightness.

Nothing hurt me anymore - not my throat, not my heart, not my stomach.

I felt so comfortable only as a child.

I did not feel my body and did not see it.

But with me were all my feelings and memories.

I was flying somewhere along a giant pipe. The sensations of flight were familiar - something like this had happened before in a dream. He mentally tried to slow down the flight, change its direction.

Happened! There was no horror and fear. Only bliss. I tried to analyze what was happening. The conclusions came instantly. The world that I got into exists. I think, therefore I also exist. And my thinking has the property of causality, since it can change the direction and speed of my flight. Trumpet - Everything was fresh, bright and interesting, - Vladimir Grigorievich continues his story.

- My mind worked completely differently than before. It embraced everything at once at the same time, for it there was neither time nor distance. I admired the world around me.

It was as if rolled into a pipe. I did not see the sun, everywhere there was an even light that did not cast shadows. Some inhomogeneous structures resembling a relief are visible on the walls of the pipe. It was impossible to determine which was the top and which was the bottom. I tried to memorize the area over which I flew.

It looked like some kind of mountains. The landscape was remembered without any difficulty, the volume of my memory was truly bottomless. I tried to return to the place over which I had already flown, mentally imagining it. Everything worked out! It was like teleportation. TV set.

- A crazy thought came, - Efremov continues his story. - To what extent can you influence the world around you?

And is it possible to return to your past life? I imagined an old broken TV from my apartment.

And I saw him at once from all sides. Somehow I knew everything about him. How and where it was constructed. He knew where the ore was mined, from which the metals were smelted, which were used in the construction.

Knew what steelmaker was doing it. He knew that he was married, that he had problems with his mother-in-law. I saw everything connected with this TV globally, realizing every little thing. And he knew exactly which part was defective. Then, when I was reanimated, I changed that T-350 transistor and the TV started working … There was a feeling of the omnipotence of thought. Our design bureau has been struggling for two years to solve the most difficult problem related to cruise missiles. And suddenly, presenting this construction, I saw the problem in all its versatility. And the solution algorithm arose by itself. Then I wrote it down and implemented it.

“My informational interaction with the environment was gradually losing its one-sided character,” says Vladimir Grigorievich.

- The answer to the formulated question appeared in my mind. At first, such responses were perceived as a natural result of reflection. But the information coming to me began to go beyond the knowledge that I had during my lifetime. The knowledge gained in this tube was many times greater than my previous baggage!

I realized that I was being led by Someone omnipresent, without boundaries. And He has unlimited possibilities, is omnipotent and full of love. This invisible, but palpable by my whole being, the subject did everything not to scare me. I realized that it was He who showed me phenomena and problems in all causation. I did not see Him, but I felt acutely …

Suddenly I noticed that something was bothering me. They dragged me out like a carrot from a garden bed. I didn't want to go back, everything was fine. Everything flashed and I saw my sister. She was scared, and I was beaming with delight …

Efremov in his scientific works described the afterlife using mathematical and physical terms. In this article, we decided to try to do without complex concepts and formulas.

- Any comparison will be wrong. The processes there do not proceed linearly, like ours, they are not extended in time. They go simultaneously and in all directions. Objects "in the next world" are presented in the form of information blocks, the content of which determines their location and properties.
