What happens when I die

What happens when you die?

Despite our primarily science-grounded views on death these days, it seems many of us believe in life after it.

In 2014, UK citizens were polled by the Telegraph, and just under 60 percent of respondents said. They believe some part of us lives on.

In the U.S., still, a very Christian nation, Pew Research in 2015 asked people what happens after you die.

The survey found that 72 percent of Americans believed you go to heaven, which was described as a place “where people who have led good lives are eternally rewarded.”

Fifty-four percent of U.S. adults replied that they believed in hell, which was described as a place “where people who have led bad lives and die without being sorry are eternally punished.”

With that in mind, welcome to this episode of the Infographics Show, What happens when you die?

Many people apparently think that when we die, we will either be ushered into a cloud-covered paradise or will be condemned to eternal hellfire and the prospect of groveling to a bearded red man who rarely puts down his pitchfork if we haven't followed the ethics prescribed to us by our chosen religion or denomination of that religion. But first, let's get down to the cold, hard facts about what happens to the human body after we die.

Doctors know that someone is dead when the heart stops beating, and brain activity quits.

Brain death means death, while artificial life support can buy you some time. Cardiac death is another form of death that occurs when the heart suddenly stops pumping, and blood supply to the body ceases.

People who have experienced cardiac death and been brought back to life have described a surreal and miraculous awareness of their surroundings. Others who have had similar experiences have described going toward a light.

Clinical death is reversible, but only within the first four to six minutes after it occurs.

But let's assume you make it to the end of the tunnel and go through it; this is what we mean when discussing biological death.

This is where things start to get dirty, but at this point, who cares? In other words, your life has ended.

Your sphincter will loosen after you leave this world, allowing the triple Whopper and large fires you had for lunch to ooze out, along with any gas you may be carrying, which could lead to an unpleasant odor.

Dying is inherently dirty, as even the urine in your bladder will leak out.

Even ejaculating if you're a man. Women who die while pregnant can have what is known as a "coffin birth."

It's not common, though. The baby is squished into the world by the expanding gases in the uterus rather than pushed. Noise may be exhaled as air as the body expels whatever is stuck inside.

Escapes. Nurses and others who operate near dead bodies have frequently recorded moans and groans that sound remarkably alive. It's only muscle twitching; you're not alive despite appearances to the contrary.

If you died while resting on your stomach, the blood would rush to your genitalia, resulting in an erection shortly after. Your whole blood supply will concentrate in one spot. This condition, known as "livor mortis," is responsible for the deep purple hues you've likely noticed on TV appearing on various portions of your body.

Such beautiful outcomes can be possible relatively soon after your passing.

As your body loses its heat source (blood), you will experience what is called "algor mortis" or "death chill."

It will continue to cool until it is at the same temperature as its surrounding environment.

The stiffness you feel after 2-6 hours is called "rigor mortis."

The entry of calcium into your muscle cells is to blame for this.

Without oxygen and nutrients delivered to your cells, bacteria multiply, and you rot from the inside out.

Your hair and nails may have grown long, but this is not the case.

Your skin is shrinking, creating the sensation of expansion.

Blisters and a loosened skin surface are other symptoms of this condition.

Putrefaction occurs when bacteria and other germs begin feeding on a dead body.

You'll start stinking faster than you ever thought possible while still alive.

"Rotten eggs, feces, and a used toilet left out for a month x 1,000," one witness said.

It's so sinful that it defiles the temple.

Eventually, only hard tissues like bones, cartilage, and hair are left intact.

By the time you're buried, you've already started the decomposition process in full force. However, decomposition may take longer if the body is embalmed and buried. If you are left on the surface, you will be consumed by insects, larvae, plants, and animals within a month and will be reduced to a liquid state.

There are too many variables to account for in this short discussion to determine the decomposition rate. According to some specialists, it may take 8-12 years underground before you are reduced to nothing but a skeleton. Your bones will eventually become a natural component of the soil after around half a century.

However, you have the gist of it. Some people claim that their NDE was a breathtaking spectacle. However, this is only sometimes the case. However, you have the gist of it.

On Reddit, one user described his time there: "It was just black emptiness—nothing, not even an idea or a conscious state.

As many religions teach, the French philosopher Rene Descartes Renee Day-cartes felt the soul was distinct from the body, and some survive after we die. Friedrich Nietzsche said everything that exists or has energy in the universe is always and will always keep repeating. You will never change your life; it will always be the same. Does that motivate you to improve your lifestyle?

One could draw parallels between this and the Buddhist belief in the "Wheel of Samsara," according to which all souls reincarnate into new bodies and live new lives after death.

What we call reincarnation, which some believe is linked to the phenomenon known as "de ja vu."

Buddhists believe we can break free of this cycle if we become genuinely enlightened or achieve nirvana. Or should we go to heaven when our bodies die and hope St. Peter will let us in even though we stole a candy bar on a school trip to Niagara Falls?

Will we be whisked away to paradise, where delicious food and beautiful women will make your weak knees buckle?

Or, shall we simply seed the Earth, our souls merely a fanciful diversion from the cosmic insignificance and earthly futility we sometimes feel?

Despite the gloominess of the video, let's take a moment to focus on the here and now and how we can make it better.

You need a website if you are one of the many people alive who currently run a business or are considering doing so.

Despite our modern, scientifically informed perspective on death, many still believe in the hereafter. In a 2014 survey conducted in the UK, the Telegraph found that slightly under 60% of respondents believed that a part of us survives after death.

Even though the United States is still predominantly Christian, Pew Research surveyed its citizens about their beliefs in the afterlife in 2015.

Seventy-two percent of respondents to the survey shared the view that there is a paradise "where people who have led good lives are eternally rewarded." Most Americans (54%) believe in hell, which they understand to be a place "where people who have led bad lives and die without being sorry are eternally punished."

If your cells aren't getting enough oxygen and food, bacteria will multiply, and you'll rot from the inside out. It's not true that you've suddenly developed long hair and nails.

Everything softer than bone, cartilage, and hair will soon turn to liquid. By the time you're buried, you've already started the decomposition process in full force. It's so sinful that it defiles the temple.

If you are left on the surface, you will be consumed by insects, maggots, plants, and animals within a month, and you will be reduced to a liquid state. It may take 8-12 years underground before you are reduced to nothing but a skeleton, according to some specialists. Your bones will eventually become a natural component of the soil after around half a century. It's also worth noting that the breakdown rate is sensitive to many other variables. There are far too many to name. However, you have the gist of it.

You will never change your life; it will always be the same. Does that not motivate you to improve your lifestyle?

The Buddhist concept of the "Wheel of Samsara," in which all souls and lives begin a cycle again after death, only not the same existence, has some parallels.

What we call reincarnation, which some believe is linked to the phenomenon known as "de ja vu."

Buddhists believe we can break free of this cycle if we become genuinely enlightened or achieve nirvana.

Or, when our physical bodies finally give out, we head to heaven and humbly bow to St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, praying he'll let us in although we stole a candy bar on the school trip to Niagara Falls?

Will we be whisked away to paradise, where delicious food and beautiful women will make your weak knees buckle?

Or will we only seed the planet, our souls, a passing whim that lets us forget our little place in the cosmos and the futility we sometimes feel here on Earth?
