Hi unicornahonatron,
I have not yet gone there… 😉 but if you are religious, then your soul apparently goes to heaven. Your body essentially just decomposes in the ground, or is incinerated into the atmosphere (depending on your wishes).
Scientifically what happens to you when you die? well once your heart stops pumping oxygen to your brain, your neurons stop firing and the cells will die. 🙁

Hi unicornahonatron,
Another deep question!
Scientifically — I’m not sure how hard or easy it is to say EXACTLY WHEN a person dies, and what makes a person ‘dead’. I’m talking about people whose brains seem not to respond to anything but whose hearts are working fine; or people whose hearts have stopped but who, I would argue, are not dead because if you re-started the heart (with electric shocks, etc.) the person would be fine again.
Religiously or philosophically, where ‘you’ go depends on what religion on philosophy you want to believe. Buddhism, for example, denies that people have “immortal souls” that Christianity says they do, but does say that some sort of consciousness carries on to be re-born as another person, animal, god or ghost.
So actually there are at least two deep questions here: what ARE “you”? What is “dying”?
