How does science explain out of body experiences?

Interesting question Shaysfordays!

Just as a somewhat related TANGENT to your question:

If you have an interest in the scientific/medical analysis of out-of-body-experience, then you might greatly enjoy the excellent SF (Sci-Fi) novel by Connie Willis, known as:

The Passage.

I think "The Passage" will really stimulate your imagination and get you thinking about this topic even more deeply!

NOTE:

Personally, I usually enjoy SF novels that are mostly scientifically accurate (based upon current known laws of science/physics, or REASONABLE extrapolations about future technology, based upon current known laws, that are written by an actual scientist, or someone who is HIGHLY scientifically literate).

So, in other words, The Passage, is written by a HIGHLY scientifically literate author (Connie Willis) and it is based upon a reasonable extrapolation of what MIGHT be possible, based upon actual known physics/biological/medical theories.

To write the novel, she had to interview/speak with many medical doctors.

In CONTRAST:

Any novel, or movie that goes far beyond known laws of physics, is otherwise known as "Fantasy" (or "horror" if it is spooky in nature!).

So there are a lot of fantasy and horror movies/novels about things such as "Out of Body Experience".

I admit such Fantasy is fun to watch sometimes!

But... since such movies/novels are more "fantasy" oriented, rather than SF (Sci-Fi) oriented, you don't really "learn" a lot, or get inspired to know more about such phenomena, if you only expose yourself to "fantasy/horror" instead of true "sci-fi".

In addition, some movies/novels are both: a hybrid of fantasy/Sci-Fi, such as Star Wars. Star Wars has many elements of true SF (scie fi), but also Star Wars has many elements of Fantasy (such as that entire Jedi-Feel-the-Force aspect).

ANYWAYS... For the MOST PART, I prefer true SF (science fiction), that is based upon reasonable extrapolations of known science.

So... again... I think you will GREATLY enjoy Connie Willis' novel:

The Passage.
