I completely agree with that except why call it indirect?

Nothing is born and nothing dies. It's 100% just as direct as any other physical process in the universe, the only reason to call it that would be because "we" don't experience it directly as individual beings. But that is misleading also--every physical part of our body experiences it on its OWN level, which is really the way we experience consciousness NOW, except we don't realize it cause we think of ourselves as "one" whole organism. The difference between death and life is meaningless for our energy on the subatomic level.

I also don't agree that there can be a "scientific" outlook on death because no one can experientially describe what it was like as a human being. Since science is empirical, and death is a private phenomenon which is most relevant to us each as individuals, there is no scientific outlook without an empirical description from the inside, which is impossible because subatomic energy by itself does not give "descriptions" of its experience anymore.
