Will science ever be able to determine exactly what happens after death?

Yes. All scientists eventually die.

Decomposition is already closely studied and comprehensively articulated by scientists.

We become parts of other life: bacteria, worms, flies, grass, trees, etc.

Ok, there is one thing you are an expert on, so go back or buy an ad.

Scientifically speaking, most occurring thing after death is funeral, statistics don't lie. At least for humans, if you ware animal, you'd possibly be eaten.
If you are asking what happens to your subjective perspective, it's that you'll be transferred to eternal plane, but beware, it's full of spirits of farmed animals that ware killed because of food, so maybe you'll have no place to move and you'll get stomped by pigs/cows.

Probably not but we can make some guesses about possible outcomes..
1) Nothing. You wink out of existence and your Universe ceases to exist.
2) One or more of the traditional religious conjectures are, strangely enough, correct and you end up in their alternative reality. Getting prodded up the ass by demons in Hell, or playing a harp amongst the Heavenly clouds, or being reincarnated as a liver fluke, etc.
3) You wake up as an ethereal consciousness in a black void and discover that there are far far worse things than physical suffering or mental torment. You also discover that there are other consciousnesses there that can interact with you on a mental level. You find out that just being dead doesn't make sentient creatures any less of assholes.
4) You wake up as part of a non-physical Universal entity which possesses God like consciousness. Perhaps that is what God is, and you are in fact now part of God. You can now know and understand everything that ever happened or will happen right down to the most infinitesimal detail and up to the grandest scale. Its a level of understanding that makes the most modern mathematics, science, and technology look like the waste products excreted by bacteria, by comparison, if you are being very generous. Furthermore you can comprehend it all at once. The only thing is you, and the larger part of you, doesn't know why you exist. Now your real adventure begins.
Personally I think alternative 1 is most likely, followed by 4 as just my own personal copium. Alternative 4 is what I suspect some religious people tap into when they "experience" God, but their interpretation of it is corrupted by their own bias and social pre-conditioning. Alternative 2 is I think extremely unlikely but it seems to be popular among many people.
Those are the four alternatives I have heard and can think of, I am sure someone can think of others.

from what perspective? people who are still alive here and now or from the dude's perspective?

Your hardware (matter) gets repurposed into other structures. Eventually one of those structures is some type of life again. So reincarnation but shittier.

I hope my existence is obliterated into an utter void of nonexistence. The idea of eternal experience is genuinely horrifying.

It's a trick question since we've all experienced "after death" a lot. Lots of things happen after death.

Probably not. If you define afterlife as outside of observable reality then it can never be scientifically explored. The best you have is a bunch of philosophical musings and intricate opinions. If there's no way to test if a claim is the actual world we live in, then it's mostly a waste of time.
That said, if these beliefs act as a kind of useful delusion and improved your overall chances of success, then it would be evolutionarily adaptive. Too much self-awareness could be an infohazard until the obvious inconsistencies could be rationalized.

It already has been solved since NDEs are seriously irrefutable proof that heaven really is awaiting us all because (1) people see things during their NDEs when they are out of their bodies that they should not be able to under the assumption that the brain creates consciousness, and (2) anyone can have an NDE and everyone is convinced by it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U00
So every atheist or materialist or agnostic would be too if they had an NDE, so pic related is literally irrefutable proof of life after death. As one NDEr pointed out:
>"The minute that I kind of woke up on that hillside in heaven I knew that that was more real than any time I've ever spent here on Earth. And I knew instantly that my time here was really but a dream. It's real to us when we're in it, but once I was there in heaven I realized that's more real, that felt more real, and it made much more sense to me than anything here. This is kind of nonsensical at times. In heaven, it's so clear, so real, so rational, so logical, but yet emotional and loving at the same time. Immediately I knew that was real and this was not. Immediately."
If NDEs were hallucinations then extreme atheists and neuroscientists who had NDEs would agree that they were halluinations after having them. But the opposite happens as NDEs convince every skeptic when they have a really deep NDE themselves.
So NDEs convince people who have them, and so does the extensive scholarly literature on NDEs for the people who actually reads it. The problem, however, is that so many pseudoskeptics never actually read the scholarly literature on NDEs and instead just assume, based on their materialist dogma, that since there can not be any evidence for the reality of NDEs, there is no point actually learning more about NDEs.
