2024 lecture: Physics and the Resurrection of the Body
Abstract
Catholics and other Christians believe that those who are saved will attain eternal life. But where will that life be lived, and what will it be like? Will it be within the confines of this physical universe or entirely outside it? Will it be similar to the current state of affairs, basically speaking, or completely different? Is science of any help in thinking about these things, or is it completely irrelevant?
