The research of the SPR was most geared toward sciences of the mind and understandings of immortality. (Myers and William James were its most famous psychologist presidents.) But some of its members came from physics... 

In those moments, when he could escape from the grind of daily life, having access to the facilities of the Nottingham Subscription Library in Bromley House enabled him to become acquainted with the advanced mathematical concepts embodied in the works of the French school of analytical physics, which was only then being established at Cambridge. In 1828, at the age of thirty-five, he published by subscription the paper that immortalized his name. It was entitled, An Essay on the Application of Mathematical...

If you are not comfortable knowing that you are immortal in pi, maybe you can be comfortable with the idea of Quantum Immortality. To understand this concept, first we must understand the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. Hugh Everett Ill s doctoral thesis, Relative State Formulation of Quantum Mechanics (reprinted in Reviews of Modern Physics), outlines a controversial theory in which the universe at every instant branches into countless parallel worlds. However, human consciousness works in such a way that it is only aware of one universe at a time. 

Monoclonal antibodies are produced as a result of immortalizing and expanding the individual antibody secreting cells artificially in tissue culture (2). Cells grown in this way all have identical epitope specificity and because they are derived from single clones, their product is known as monoclonal antibody. Cells that secrete monoclonal antibodies are known as hybridomas and are typically derived by fusion of two cell types. B-lymphocytes, which have the capacity to make antibody, are obtained from a donor spleen and are physically fused to a tumor cell line, which is immortal. The resulting hybridom as are immortal and produce antibody into the synthetic medium in which they are growing. 

Stone," when it becomes a finished product, is an impalpable powder, of a deep saffron color, tinged with a redness deeper than that of the setting sun. It is the pure quintessence of Fire that has passed the fire a hundred times and stood every test. It is this that has the power to build a body impervious to fire, like itself. It builds up the lowest mineral form into a gold that endures the fire, and the lowest of organic forms into a form that resists successfully all the elements. Here, then, we have the basis, scientifically, for our belief in physical immortality, which with us is "believe-and-be-saved-by-Jesus" notion, as with the fanatical religionists, but rather a knowledge of the possibility of creating an indestructible body. 

It is a doctrine of the Adepts that fallen man has not lost the capacity for immortality, but simply the food or regimen of eternal life. The possibility is indestructible in his nature. They are also persuaded that the human body conceals the inexhaustible fountain of a Sovereign Balsam by which this life, under given circumstances, may yet be recovered. It is alike in blood and milk, grease and bone, brain and marrow in a word, it sustains his physical nature at all points. Man has, therefore, within him the materials of a medicine which surpasses the healing properties of any herb or stone, as well as of any extract of other animal natures. This is the virtue of the food of the Tree of Life which once sustained Adam, and still persists in all his descendants. Extract it, and thou hast found the treasure. The essence is in thy hands thou hast no need to seek outside thyself for that which is so abundantly within thee. Man is the monarch of Nature his soul is his noblest part, which remains immortal and in its essence like unto the angels it communicates to his fallen body the majesty which illuminates the countenance. But that body has still a thousand virtues which are the remains of his primal prerogatives, and, above all, a principle of life which it is still possible to develop. 

Alchemy The study and manipulation of matter based on a belief that matter can be transformed from one form to another by physical, spiritual or magical processes, or a combination of such processes. Although alchemical ideas extend back to at least 5000 b.c.e and existed in all civilizations, there was a great expansion of alchemical activities between 800 and 1600 c.E. after which time alchemical ideas were gradual replaced with empirical concepts of matter. Alchemy was often directed toward the making of gold from base metals or the creation of an elixir of life that gave immortality. 

The outcome of a conflict of a long life lies within this triad Should the Soul, during this time, be predominantly occupied with the purely physical pleasures, then the destruction of the earthly body would result inevitably in the death of the astral body Through this, the astral body would be prevented to unite with the highest Spirit of the triad, which (the highest Spirit) alone can transfer to us, immortality. 

Part of the problem seems to be that Penrose picked on the microtubules of the neurons as a key player for physical reasons, whereas to biomedical scientists, these structural cytoskeletal components do not come foremost to mind as biological key players in the mysterious, which they would prefer to consider as emerging from the staggering complexity of interneuron connections (our some hundred billion neurons each have some 7,000 synaptic connections ). And where, if anywhere, hide telepathy, clairvoyance, ghosts, and the immortality of the human soul In some cases we simply have no way to judge right now whether innovative thinkers are wiser, or nuttier, than the rest of us.
