What Science Tells Us About Death 😟 w/ Neil deGrasse Tyson

Universe Lair•0:41

Transcription

A lot of people want to know what happens after they die. You put together all scientific evidence, biological and physics. You have no existence after you die. You can believe what you want in a country where we have protection of religious expression.

But if you want to ask science what science says about it, you go into a state of non-existence. You can say, "Why is that? What's that like?" I'll tell you exactly what it's like. This is what it was like before you were born. You're not asking yourself, "What was it like before I was born? I had to have some existence." You didn't. You have no existence.

A state of non-existence before you were born. So I'm not given reason to think that your state of non-existence in death differs in any fundamental way from your state of non-existence before you're born. Giving that much more meaning to what it is you can and should do while you're alive in this world.
