The Impact of the Natural Afterlife on Religion and Society I don't think that's what Elhmann was arguing. He wasn't arguing a slowing of time but a full stop. His argument is that since we perceive in discrete moments (maybe, most likely its a more complicated model consisting of unconscious processing that's continuous followed by conscious "moments") when we die we can't perceive a moment where we don't exist so we're left in our final moment forever. Not that time slows down but we continue to perceive a progression of moments, but that there are no more moments to perceive, leaving us in that one final moment forever, like a videogame freezing on a specific frame and never unfreezing. Not a particularly great argument but it sure is an arguement, I guess.
