Sean Carroll, Ph.D., Theoretical Physicist and Astrophysics

I do admit that I’m regretful that there is no such thing as an afterlife. It is not compatible with the laws of physics as we understand them. There’s no evidence that we have for it, and we should always be skeptical when we want to believe something is true. I think that we want there to be an afterlife. That’s not an argument in favor of it. That’s a reason to be doubtful.
