A Las Vegas businessman, Robert Bigelow is spending $1
million to find out if indeed there is life after death.
His Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies (BICS) has
announced a global essay contest seeking input from scientists, religious
scholars, consciousness researchers and anyone else who can provide evidence of
an afterlife.
As an incentive, BICS will award $500,000 for the top essay,
$300,000 for the second best and $150,000 for third place.
Essays will be judged by five renowned experts. And they
must be received by 5 p.m. August 1, 2021.
Winners will be announced November 1, 2021, the Bigelow
Institute said.
Bigelow, the founder and owner of Bigelow Aerospace as well
as the hotel chain Budget Suites of America, has spent millions of dollars to
pursue two enduring mysteries.
As Fox News reported, the first is on whether there is other
intelligent life in the universe.
The second study is whether human consciousness continues
after physical death.
In the mid-1990s, he created the National Institute for
Discovery Science (NIDS), a think tank and research program that investigated
UFO issues as well as the survival of consciousness.
NIDS was guided by a Science Advisory Board made up of
eminent scientists, astronauts, academics, and intelligence officers.
