What happened inside the golden well during the near-death moment
Dr. Alex Gómez Marín, a Spanish researcher in theoretical physics and biophysics, recently endured a near-death experience during a seven-second cardiac arrest. He reports being surrounded by a golden glow while inside a deep well, and looking upward, he saw three enigmatic figures who seemed to act as mediators between life and death. They offered him a choice: continue into the unknown or return to the physical world.
The choice and the motive: returning to life for his family
He chose to come back to his family, especially to his two young daughters waiting at home. He recalls that the experience felt 'more real than reality,' a clarity that stayed with him after waking.
Near-death experiences: a scientific puzzle
Near-death experiences have long fascinated scientists and researchers of the paranormal. Many scientists propose that such sensations arise from brain activity during the body\'s transition into shock. Despite numerous studies, the precise mechanisms remain poorly understood.
What this means: the human dimension of death and the frontiers of science
Gómez Marín's account adds to the ongoing debate about near-death experiences and the boundary between life and death. It highlights the enduring power of family and the human urge to return. As researchers continue to study NDEs, his story reminds us that some questions lie at the edge of what we know—and what we share with our loved ones.
