A near-death experience happens when quantum substances which form the soul leave the nervous system and enter the universe at large, according to a remarkable theory proposed by two eminent scientists. According to this idea, consciousness is a program for a quantum computer in the brain which can persist in the universe even after death, explaining the perceptions of those who have near-death experiences.

Dr Stuart Hameroff, Professor Emeritus at the Departments of Anesthesiology and Psychology and the Director of the Centre of Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona, has advanced the quasi-religious theory. It is based on a quantum theory of consciousness he and British physicist Sir Roger Penrose have developed which holds that the essence of our soul is contained inside structures called microtubules within brain cells.

They have argued that our experience of consciousness is the result of quantum gravity effects in these microtubules, a theory which they dubbed orchestrated objective reduction (Orch-OR). Thus it is held that our souls are more than the interaction of neurons in the brain. They are in fact constructed from the very fabric of the universe - and may have existed since the beginning of time.

The concept is similar to the Buddhist and Hindu belief that consciousness is an integral part of the universe - and indeed that it is really all there may be, a position similar to Western philosophical idealism.

With these beliefs, Dr Hameroff holds that in a near-death experience the microtubules lose their quantum state, but the information within them is not destroyed. Instead it merely leaves the body and returns to the cosmos.

Gary Glitter was taken from his London home at around 7:15am this morning after being arrested for questioning in connection with the Jimmy Saville scandal following allegations of sexual offences. The 68-year-old, originally from Banbury, Oxfordshire, was arrested by the Metropolitan Police on suspicion of sexual offences in connection with Operation Yewtree. 

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “Officers working on Operation Yewtree have today, 28 October, arrested a man in his 60s (‘Yewtree 1’) in connection with the investigation. The man, from London, was arrested at approximately 0715hrs on suspicion of sexual offences, and has been taken into custody at a London police station. The individual falls under the strand of the investigation we have termed “Saville and others”. Not prepared to discuss further.” 

Scotland Yard is probing around 400 lines of inquiry over claims regarding Savile, who has been described by police as ‘predatory sex offender’. Glitter, 68, had a successful music career as a rockstar in the 1970s but he was jailed for molesting two girls aged 11 and 10 in Vietnam in 2006, later returning to the UK in 2008. Meanwhile, a video has emerged of a moment on live TV when Savile groped a petrified teenager. Sylvia Edwards can be seen sitting next to Savile on Top Of The Pops as he announces the next song to viewers, surrounded by a group of teenage girls, after the recording appeared on YouTube.
