THE AMOUNT OF PAIN

THE FINALITY OF DEATH

"The reality of it: once dead, I'm gone. Never to participate in reality as years, even the universe passes. Oddly, in eternity, I'll never exist again."

ATOMS IN MY BODY WILL EXIST FOREVER

"Not scared of death - what amazes me is, after death, my atoms, existing since the big bang, will endure forever, possibly in other forms."

EARLY DEATH

“I don’t fear death. I fear death coming early!”

EFFECT IT WILL HAVE ON PEOPLE

WON’T GET TO SEE THE END OF THE STORY

"I won't see humanity's end. I contemplate the world our ancestors would see. Are we near the start or end of the human story?"
