    Vexing how sh1tty newspapers such as the Daily Mail always say 'says Scientist' as if everything a scientist says is true or somehow holds automatic validity.

    Agreed. But The Sun is worse. There, scientists are considered beyond the comprehension of the reader so any intelligent person is called a Boffin, as if to empasise how far they are from the average reader of their tabloid.

    I don't even think you need to go that far,fainting is pretty much how id image death to be. One second your standing there,afraid that you're about to faint in front of everyone,then everything goes black.next thing you know there's a crowd of people standing around looking down on you.

    The thing you're failing to factor in is that you don't know you've fainted, or that you were unconscious until you've woken up. You don't wake up when you die, so you don't know you've died. But that's only the start of the mindfcukery...

    Because you're dead, your brain doesn't work, so all your memories are gone. That includes all memory of you ever being alive, all memories of life, all memories of anything existing... all memories of memories being a thing. There's nothing at all there, no point of reference for anything, no point of reference for what nothing is. For all intents and purposes, neither you nor the entire universe would ever have existed once you die.

    Sure, that's a bit of a logical fallacy, given that, of course, the universe will still be there, but without you to know that (or anything else, for that matter), it might as well never have existed

    I wouldn't mind getting other views about this.
    Not sure if AH is the place.
    It's just something that caught my interest a while back when reading about this stuff. Just something that made me stop and think (and question my typically hard-headed approach) but haven't seen much discussion of it here.

    A bit OT but The Teaching Company has a very good lecture series which discusses this. It's called Origins of Life.

    I just checked there and TTC - Big History--The Big Bang, Life on Earth, and the Rise of Humanity also covers this.
