A journey into the unknown???
What happens when you die?
In spite of our predominantly science-based perspectives on death today, it appears that many individuals still hold a belief in life after it. In a survey conducted by the Telegraph in 2014 among UK citizens, nearly 60 percent of participants expressed a belief in some form of existence beyond death. Similarly, in the U.S., a country with a strong Christian influence, a Pew Research study in 2015 asked individuals about their beliefs regarding the afterlife. The survey revealed that 72 percent of Americans believed in the concept of going to heaven, where those who have lived virtuously are rewarded eternally. Furthermore, 54 percent of U.S. adults indicated a belief in hell, a place where those who have lived wickedly and unrepentantly are punished eternally. With this context in mind, we delve into this episode of the Infographics Show, exploring the question: What occurs when you pass away?

How Edsheeran made millions
Have you ever thought about how Ed Sheeran became one of the wealthiest and most influential musicians of our time? Let's delve into his journey. Did you know that Ed Sheeran's net worth is an incredible $200 million? This talented musician didn't achieve success overnight. His path was filled with challenges, talent, and sheer determination. Ed's story began with significant obstacles; he was born with a damaged eardrum and developed a stutter after a surgery mishap. Just imagine trying to pursue a music career with these setbacks! However, Ed transformed these challenges into strengths. He attributes Eminem's Rapid Fire lyrics to helping him overcome his stutter. By the age of nine, Ed had memorized every word of Eminem's Marshall Mathers LP. By 13, he was already writing songs and playing instruments. After releasing his first album, "Spinning Man," Ed spent seven years refining his skills in small venues and studios. In 2011, his debut studio album, "Plus," catapulted him to fame, selling 5.5 million copies and amassing millions of streams. Ed's career soared, competing with music legends like Beyoncé and Adele. His debut year on the charts was a massive success, with his song "Shape of You" alone garnering billions of streams on Spotify and YouTube. Even the pandemic couldn't hinder his success. Ed adapted to the digital era, becoming the third bestselling musician of the 2020s, trailing only behind Adele and Drake. Ed's relentless hard work paid off with numerous awards and accolades. He has been nominated 467 times and won 185 awards, including four Grammys and two American Music Awards, all before the age of 33. Ed's "Divide" tour grossed $776 million, ranking as the fourth largest in history, while his "The Mathematics" tour added another $556 million. However It's not just about concerts and record sales; Ed also earns through sponsorships and online streams, contributing to his impressive $200 million net worth. Despite his massive success, Ed remains down-to-earth, avoiding the limelight and letting his music do the talking. By naming his albums after math symbols, he symbolizes different life phases, showing his thoughtful approach to his career. Ed's journey, from overcoming personal obstacles to becoming one of the wealthiest musicians globally, is truly inspiring.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

"Challengers" Movie Review
Challengers is a triumphantly sexy cinematic rollercoaster ride, too incredulously fun not to watch. Tashi Duncan is played by Zendaya, the exceptionally emotive young movie star. Matched against her are two gorgeously nerdy-looking young players, Mike Faist as Art Donaldson and Josh O’Conner as Patrick Zweig. All three have the blessing of great chemistry whenever they spar across screen. Alongside their star qualities are bouncing timelines, demonstrating a lifetime of flagrantly competitive choices that create a trail of wasted potential and misguided lust. Director Luca Guadagnino really knows how to make a graceful yet scandalous picture. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's EDM score intensifies the thrill of tennis and prideful characters up to an eleven. After watching Challengers multiple times, I am forced to argue that all sporting events should henceforth take place at a fist-pumping rave. When first hearing about this movie, I thought the entire plot had been offered up within the two-minute trailer. Two friends like a tennis star. Tennis star has a career-ending injury. Tennis star picks blonde boy, and brunette boy is angry. Audience members think they have digested the full ingredients of the film before getting their soles sticky from the theatre floor. Yet, this new-age masterpiece is anything but a simple meal.
