      Is that right, SS?
      Yes, if external medium in this context means this physical Universe, then yes.

      What I like to believe is that there is definitely something after you die. There has to be. Given an infinite amount of time, and an infinite number of possibilities. Theoretically, given enough time its possible that every molecule in your body at this moment, may once again arrange itself in the exact same order they are in now, and you would be reborn exactly as you are when you die.

      The possibility of this happening is so ridiculously low, that its just plain stupid. However, with an infinite amount of time, there is no reason to believe it will not happen.

      However, there might not be an infinite amount of time either. Perhaps the entire universe will one day wink at of existence, and there will be nothing, any where in the entire world for the rest of time.
