I would say with certainty that there is no hard science to back that up. Concepts like "infinite amount of times" and "smallest unit of time" do not go well with practical applications (if we consider brain as a practical application, as this hypothesis clearly is trying to do). It's impossible to say what people experience right before death; however there has been many studies about near-death experiences. This hypothesis you are talking about seems to mix and match quite freely (and incorrectly) some of these studies.
I'm not going to search for sources for these studies; I'll only speculate with those points I remember, so following may contain errors and misunderstandings. However, I personally assure that those errors are smaller than those made by the creator of the hypothesis you present in your question.
There was an extensive study (several years ago) about the phenomenon when one sees his/hers past life flashing in front of him, like watching a film. This happens sometimes to people in a sudden, very dangerous situation (and sometimes before near-death experiences). IIRC, there was a theory that this phenomenon happens because brain quickly go through everything that is stored in memory while trying to find a safe way to get out of the danger, a solution that may be found from past experiences. This process was thought to be incredibly fast, too fast to rationalize, only the images flashing can be understood by conscious mind.
Often combined with this phenomenon is another one, where world around seems to start moving slower. This also happens alone, during near-death experiences but also on other occasions. For some reason conscious mind seems to be able to function faster then, reaction time is shortened but also reasoning and thought decisions come faster. A couple of months ago there was an article in New Scientist about this, and how some professional athletes have experienced same kind of phenomenon during important performances / matches, and so seemed to be able to initiate this by will.
So both of these studies show that brain may work far faster than they normally do, and that this is often the case during near-death experiences (and so probably before death too). But there is nothing to back up the hypothesis that this acceleration somehow goes on forever until the speed of synapses flashing is infinite right before death, like in the hypothesis you presented. Plain reasoning is against this: the neural connections in your nervous system are fast, but they are not instantaneous. There is a limit for this acceleration. It is true that a dream lasting only seconds or minutes may feel very long (some esoteric legends even mention they could feel like years or decades), but it cannot last forever. The last nanosecond before your death? Definitely that is not going to feel like eternity either. Longer than it seems to the outside world, maybe, but I wouldn't call those extended seconds "life after death".

Loughner's voice provides an angry narration that includes statements such as, "I'm gonna be homeless because of this school," and calling Pima "a genocide school." College officials confirmed that the video, discovered on YouTube, led them to suspend Loughner from school Sept. 29.

It was not immediately clear why the former dictator chose this tumultuous moment to return to Haiti. There were no immediate protests in reaction to his return and very few people were even aware that the former dictator had come back to Haiti, where more than 1 million people are living in crowded, squalid tent encampments after their homes were destroyed from the Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake. Half the people in the country are younger than 21, and weren't alive during Duvalier's rule.

Nearby, 42-year-old Marline Joseph, living in the camp with her three kids, was also somewhat hopeful. "He's here, that's good. Now, what is he going to do for the country."
Haitians danced in the streets to celebrate the overthrow of Duvalier back in 1986, heckling the tubby, boyish tyrant as he drove to the airport and flown into exile in France. Most Haitians hoped the rapacious strongman had left for good, closing a dark chapter of terror and repression that began under his late father, Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier in 1957.

TUNIS, Tunisia – Tunisia took a step toward democracy and reconciliation Monday, promising to free political prisoners and opening its government to opposition forces long shut out of power — but the old guard held onto the key posts, angering protesters.
Demonstrators carrying signs reading "GET OUT! demanded that the former ruling party be banished altogether — a sign more troubles lie ahead for the new unity government as security forces struggle to contain violent reprisals, shootings and looting three days after the country's longtime president fled under pressure from the streets.
