  • Is there life after death? A Las Vegas businessman wants to know the answer to that question definitively, and he's funding an essay contest in the hopes of doing so.
  • Robert Bigelow's Institute for Consciousness Studies is awarding almost $1 million to three winners of this essay contest.
  • Read on for the contest rules, prize breakdown, and more.

It's a question that has fascinated people, both religious and non-religious, for millennia -- is there life after death? And if there is, what happens after you die?

Here we are in the 21st century, and that question is still gripping us at the most scientifically advanced point in the history of human civilization -- reminding us of the limits of what we can empirically know and of the things we have to instead take on faith, that we can't see. Which is not to say that there aren't people like Las Vegas businessman Robert Bigelow, who very much wants to obtain some certainty to this question of life after death, to the point that he's even willing to award nearly $1 million in total prize money to whoever convinces him of what will definitely happen or not after we shuffle off this mortal coil.
