The Universal Constant

from The Grief Lab · host The Grief Lab

We’ve spent three seasons looking at grief under a microscope. We’ve seen the cortisol, the T-cells, and the neural pathways. But today, for the finale of our 'Extended Environment' season, we are looking through a telescope.When someone dies, we talk about 'loss.' But in the world of physics, 'loss' is a scientific impossibility. Today, we are investigating the First Law of Thermodynamics the law of conservation of energy. We’re asking: If energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed, then what is the 'Afterlife' of a human being in the eyes of the universe? Stay with us. We’re going to look at the 'The Universal Constant' and why your grief is actually part of the stars.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-grief-lab--6886563/support.
