are you saying that we wake up again after death

(Disclaimer: I’m being speculative while trying to connect scientific principles and hypotheses. I’m aware this is not strict science, even though I’m trying to keep my religious beliefs aside.)

Much to the opposite, akin to a PC which was powered off forever. The transition between “powered-on” and “forever powered-off” states is something unexpected to the “software” (the “sentience” emerged inside our brains). Living beings, especially those with nervous system like us, are wired to being alive, and death is unexpected and unknown state, so this “transition” (dying) is confusing. As all senses across the body become numb, adaptiveness plays a role, with the cortices trying to compensate for the lack of sensory input (including inputs from within the brain itself, as synapses begin to fail), including a heightened activity of long-term memory as it tries to remember what exactly led to this “dying” state (part of fight-or-flight response): there’s the Near-Death Experience ppl often recall experiencing after effectively dying but getting to be reanimated.

I believe there’s an extra-baryonic factor in play too (what spiritualists would call “spiritual realm” would be another “brane” from a multibrane cosmos, with everything having “spiritual matter”, not necessarily self-rearranging (“living”) and the so-called “soul” merely another emergent property of a physical structure made of “spiritual stuff”, akin to a baryonic sentience), but it’s belief so I’m keeping this out.

As the emergent properties within sentience are inexorably bounded to its “hardware” (i.e. the body and its nervous system), the way matter is constantly subjected to entropy is an intrinsic part of cognition (i.e. brain gets wired and accustomed to the effects of entropy, trying to adapt as the years pass and aging happens, just like (geologically) life adapted outside water during Late Devonian and (individually) astronauts aboard ISS become accustomed and develop muscle memory for microgravity motion).

This means, if Black Hole Cosmology is to be considered, that the effects of “existing inside a black hole” are indirect part of how life adapts (e.g. adapting to the way time “stretches” as the years pass). The energy within matter (chemical reactions that keep happening even after death, especially those from decomposition processes) means that the physical structure from which “sentience” emerged will be subjected to the entropy long after being rendered unable to self-rearrange as living being. The brain may’ve died, but its organic molecules are still undergoing reactions at the microscopic level, until being completely transformed by decomposition and eventually fossilized. As there’s no working memory registering mechanisms anymore, it’s essentially “undergoing time without registering it”, pretty much akin to the “time gap from general anesthesia”.
