Scientist Reveals What He Saw After Death: Traveled Through Time, Teleported, Saved Himself as a Child

This story still sparks discussions to this day.

The doctors seemed to have lost the patient. Relatives waiting for news heard a discouraging prognosis: "Tsuruhiko's life is coming to an end." Kiuchi was in clinical death for about forty minutes. However, something extraordinary happened: he returned to life and soon was able to speak.

"From a medical standpoint, it was death. And suddenly - restoration of heart activity without external help. I've never encountered anything like this in my practice," one of the doctors later admitted.

Kiuchi detailed what happened to him after his heart stopped, particularly accurately describing the surgeons' actions. He repeated the nurses' conversations in the corridor. He "saw" his parents' reaction to the news of his death: his mother was crying, and his father was silently staring at the wall.

"By all medical indicators, it was death. And suddenly - spontaneous restoration of heart activity," the doctors stated.

The astronomer who went through clinical death kept records of his experience over the following months. This experience was so vivid and intense that it constantly haunted him, fundamentally differing from forgettable dreams.

He claimed to have undergone a series of astonishing changes in consciousness. The first and most vivid sensation was the absence of any boundaries in space. He could instantly move to any place that came to his mind.

"I just thought of a place - and instantly found myself there. I saw my sister driving a car, though she was on the other side of the city, heard her thoughts and conversations with her friend," he recounted.

Kiuchi claimed he experienced a journey into his own past, where he witnessed an event that nearly cost him and his sister their lives. At six years old, they were joyfully running along a rocky path to the river to swim. Suddenly, a loud cry rang out: "Watch out!".

Instinctively turning around, the boy saw a horrifying sight - a huge boulder rolling straight toward his sister. He instantly pushed her aside and fell on his back. The children survived, but for a long time couldn't understand who warned them of the danger, as there was no one nearby. The solution came years later in the ICU. Upon waking, Kiuchi realized with surprise that the cry belonged to him himself, or rather his future "self," as he put it, writes Tsargrad.

"I always felt something strange happened that day. But realizing that the savior was me from the future... It completely changed my perception of time," the astronomer recalled.

"If my sensations are real, then perhaps our ideas about space and time are wrong," he suggested.

Kiuchi's statements sparked lively discussions in the scientific community, with skeptics explaining it as hallucinations of the dying brain.

Experts believe there is no need to attribute mystical significance to "near-death visions." However, some aspects are of particular interest.

"Observations showed that patient death was accompanied by a sharp increase in gamma activity in the brain, especially in areas responsible for consciousness," researchers from the University of Michigan reported.

In other words, near-death visions arise as a result of the brain transitioning to a state close to conscious, they explained.

Denis Protsenko, director of the Kommunarka MMCC, often encounters clinical death in his practice. He noted that drugs used to save the patient's brain can cause hallucinations.

"Anesthetics and sedatives used to protect the brain during oxygen starvation can cause hallucinatory effects," he clarified.

Alexey Reshetun, a forensic medical expert, noted that the brain in extreme conditions can "show" familiar images based on past experience.

At the same time, he allowed that "the essence of consciousness remains largely a mystery."

"It's extremely difficult to provide a definitive explanation for the emergence of such images," he noted in an interview with Gazeta.Ru.

The problem lies in the unique structure of the brain, which scientists are not yet able to fully understand.
