Scientifically, what would it take to travel to the Afterlife w/o dying?

From a scientific standpoint, what would we need to travel to heaven, hell, limbo and back without dying first to get there? We all know a person's soul is only able to go to these places, but what if there were a way to do it in our physical forms? I mean these places are obviously in another dimension, right? Maybe we would need a machine like the one from "Stargate"?

Well it is said that angels come from heaven to earth for different purposes, so it means that heaven is out there somewhere in space but locating it would be the hardest thing for scientists and then traveling to it is another story

So by that, you mean that heaven is somewhere in space but we can't see it or it's somewhere really really really far away in space? I always use to think that the afterlife existed outside of the universe.

In scientific terms everything is within universe. I mean that any place anywhere is included in universe no matter how far apart they are.

I think we would have to find a way to alter the frequency of movement of the matter that makes up our bodies to match that of those who exist in "the afterlife". Apparently our bodies are only designed (if I may use that term without bringing ID into the discussion) to exist in this dimension of time and space. I think if we tried to "travel" to the "afterlife" we would end up their anyway because our bodies wouldn't be able to handle the differences.

Try astral travelling.

First of all, we'd need to verify such places exist in the first place. Big hurdle already. Secondly, we'd need to verify that people have "souls" that are separate from their physical bodies. Another big hurdle. Then we can talk about how to move the latter to the former. Until then, there is no "scientific standpoint" because neither souls nor heaven/hell/limbo/etc. have any basis in science.
