Why Scientists Now Think Death Isn't The End

Hey guys! We’re now live on Spotify🎧 Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/show/1c2uppn... A resting human body radiates about a hundred watts of infrared light, and some of it leaves Earth for good. On the day Stephen Hawking was buried, his voice was beamed toward a black hole 3,500 light-years away. In 1953, a Los Alamos computer surprised everyone who read its output. So what do the top three entries say about a single life? Ten ideas, from conserved atoms to cosmology's open questions, each labeled as fact or speculation, in a full three-hour walk made for any pace, including drifting off. Settle in and let this slow walk through physics' strangest answers about endings keep you company tonight.
