Just because you dont see it, doesnt mean it didnt happen. The light the sun emits will only be seen by us ~8min later, but it's still being emitted right now.
No, seriously. Every morning, I wake up and the sun has risen. Clearly I made it happen. It happens while I'm asleep so it can't have been the placebo effect.
When you die, from your perspective, the sun doesn't rise. It doesn't have to be a cosmic anomaly. For every single human, there are more days the sun doesn't rise than does.
PS: Your aunt Sally called, she misses you.
