How is it that it's 2016 and we still don't have a definitive answer as to what happens after we die?
you die. nothing else happens
But we do know what happens: your body decomposes and the molecules that made you are now being used in other things. Oh you mean what happens to "your consciousness"? Turns out it's just an emerging phenomena that happens when enough neurons connect in a certain way that allows for massive parallel processing of information and this process is allowed to run for several million years of iterations.

how is that a problem ? people are free to disagree with things.
Consciousness is an emergent intrinsic phenomenon. When we die, we go to a place where we await a resurrection. Upon there it is decided by an ultimate entity of what happens. Said ultimate entity is incommensurable with our senses/cognition as imbued by where we originated from within this place.
In what comes about of our reward or punishment is not of my dictation. Some people like being insane and thinking forever. Some people welcome a long-resting slumber. Some people ponder the mystery of what is beyond themselves without making it known.

Because people search for something after life when there is nothing

After we die our brains shut off permanently and we start to decompose. "We" already know that.

One could easily make claim to nothing as to something. Nothing is still 'something' in the sense that it could be 'one thing', nothing still has a quantifier in that sense. The conflict of these two stances is what's more substantive in being known. For me to say to a christian, muslim, or any other group that there is nothing after one dies, is not really a secular alternative is it is inferred to be the de facto stance to adhere too. I would also challenge such assertions to be met with a form of acquired sympathy, in that with a fear there is a mutual ground that is share between too people. The lack of it really doesn't share much in the sense that it chooses not too. Not to say one must, but to ask that has one actually strived to be within the presence of something beyond external composition?
It is by the mind, where we may say that things are identical, not outside, within the world. For two rulers to measure are not the same. Yet the idea can offer a truer proportion in what it is that we observe.

When will this stop?
Your body starts to decompose. That's pretty much what happens to you.
