Tuesday with Bill-Bill Nye, Do You Think about Your Mortality?
Transcript – Josh: Hey Bill. Do you ever think about your mortality? Does it ever bother you to think that one day you just won’t exist? I know you’re not religious but do you think anything happens when we die or is it just over, no thoughts, nothing like that? And if given the choice to live longer in an artificial body would you take that or not? Thanks. Bye.
Bill Nye: What a question. That was Josh? Josh, fabulous question. Yes I think about mortality continually man. I won’t say constantly but everyday. So I’d like to just give you something to think about. If you lived to be 82 and seven weeks, depends on leap years as to the exact number of weeks, you get 30,000 days on earth, 30,000. When you’re in kindergarten 30,000 sounds like a lot, almost an unimaginably big number. When you are my age, I’m 61, you start to see that 30,000 really isn’t that many. And to show you it’s not that many I encourage you to imagine a National Football League stadium. They typically hold way more than 70,000 people, certainly way more than 60,000 people. So imagine sitting in a different seat every day of your life and watching your life take place down on the field, imagine this. Sit in a different seat everyday. Day-to-day it looks about the same right? But with 30,000 you don’t get halfway around, halfway around and you’re dead. It sucks man. So it’s why it’s important to do your best to live your life as best as you can every day. This doesn’t mean you become a hedonist and just have a joyride everyday, you’re working too big goals but no one appreciate that everybody is going to die. I have never met anyone who is not going to die. I’ve never met anyone who’s of a certain age who is not already dead. It sucks
ahh!!! what a warm thought for this chilled day!!! superb answer by Bill Nye. The same question related to human mortality arise several times in my mind also. Today I got the perfect scientific explanatory answer for that! agree with the answer that when we grow old, lose our faculties, pass on our genes for next generation nothing happens w to us, we diminish and nature does not care for that!!! Our life journey(growing old from birth) is the proof of the fact that there is no life after death, there are no thoughts, no emotions, no residue of our perfectness remains. This journey is just perfect and there is no need of altercation when we go away from the standpoint of evolution.!!!
