What is the scientifical explanation of death?

In summary, the scientific explanation of death is that it occurs due to lack of oxygen to the brain. There is no point to doing anything except for what one makes of it, unless religious beliefs come into play. This is not a philosophical discussion.

All deaths (100%) have the same cause: lack of oxygen to the brain.


There is no point to doing anything except what you make of it. (Unless you have religious beliefs, in which case, and eternity of fire and brimstone or somesuch should make a good motivator.)

even if you strap yourself with 500 kilos of dynamite and blow it up? and what if you actually pump oxygen into your brain, and die because of that?

Related to What is the scientifical explanation of death?

1. What is death?

Death is the permanent cessation of all biological functions that sustain a living organism. It is the end of life and the beginning of the natural process of decomposition.

2. What causes death?

Death can be caused by a variety of factors, including disease, injury, and old age. Ultimately, death occurs when the body is no longer able to maintain its vital functions or when a critical system fails.

3. Is there a scientific explanation for death?

Yes, there are several scientific theories that attempt to explain the process of death. These include the cellular and molecular changes that occur in the body, the role of genetics and evolutionary biology, and the impact of environmental factors on the aging process.

4. Can death be reversed?

Currently, death is considered irreversible. While medical advancements have allowed for resuscitation in some cases, the process of death itself cannot be reversed.

5. What happens to the body after death?

After death, the body goes through a process of decomposition, where bacteria and other organisms break down the tissues and organs. This process can take weeks, months, or even years, depending on the conditions of the body and the environment.
