  Maybe death will be like this:

  Here's what I am thinking. I know that inside the blackhole, there is no space because of the compression, and without space, there is no time, and that may be the form of universe prior to big bang. Maybe when we die we will be again return to a state where time and space doesn't exist.

  What makes you think death itself is painful?
  
  As far as I am aware it's only the diseases and wounds that are painful. I never heard stories about people writhing in pain shortly before dying on the deathbed.

  
  The things that lead to death are generally painful whether it's forceful (like a gunshot or car crash) or gradual (like cancer, illness in general, etc). Of course there are exceptions like dying in your sleep. Having the body shut off indefinitely is bound to be at least a little painful in the moments leading up to it.
  
  So I'm not saying death itself is necessarily painful, but everything's certainly pointing in that direction. After someone dies, though, I believe the pain is gone.

  1012 years: Half-Life 3 is released. It doesn't live up to your expectations.

  
  
  All kinds of yes! But how does a game company live that long without being murdered by the revolting fans for not getting this game yet!?

  How? I mean if the nerves are shutting down, so too is pain experience.

  Those typos.
  
  You still feel the pain of dying.

  
  
  It's called typing on a loaner android phone with a screen so small that the keyboard and search bar covers up the text box and you have no idea what you're really typing. Add that with 2 minutes left in a lunch break and this is what you get.

  Sure, after the nerves are shut off.
  
  But it's the process leading up to it is still going to hurt most of the time. I mean, it's not like it just ends instantly. Dying is a process and (usually) takes a little bit, with some exceptions.

  When people are on the subject of death, it's always a matter of fear and religion. I honestly have my own logic of re-incarnation. I wrote it awhile back and now I can't seem to find it, but I'm also not willing to re-type it. Death.. where do you go? Does your soul live on once your body decays? Dp you live the rest of your days in limbo and become bored, forever to live out a bore some life to give you a new sense of insanity that is more deep than how it was when you were living. I grew up with a passive Christian influence and as a child I was almost too curious. I wanted to see what Heaven was like, killing myself in a sense knowing that I couldn't come back, but also willing to do so, but funny thing is I didn't know that was particularly suicide. More or less I didn't know the term until years later. I wouldn't kill myself out of sadness, but curiosity. I want to know what stories and theories are true in the end to be honest. I'm a "religion hopper" because I only long for to know what's true and what's not.
  
  But, death? It's sad when it's experienced by other people. I cry because I know in the back of my head I'll never be able to see them again. In the next life that is. I see re-incarnation as a choice, but it's a once you go you can never come back sort of theory. I may over think things, but death is only temporary. Your soul will recycle itself and you'll start with a clean slate never to remember your past life as that's how I feel what we're living now. Our likes and dislikes vary from our past lives. Death can overtake us at any moment, any year, day, hour, but that's only why we fear death. We don't want to lose what we have and we should cherish our lives as if they were our last; enjoying each one with the people we currently know because chances are you won't know them in the next life. We should take each life and try to enjoy it to the fullest even if we'll be living the next 1000 and counting.
