The Physics of Death:

Attached to this article, we have included one of the most profound poems we know of about death. It"s one of my favorites, as it doesn"t necessarily touch base on the many disturbing things that happen to the body during the decomposition phase, when the cells and tissues begin to break down, ravishing one of the last physical remnants of a person"s life. Instead, it looks at the subject from a physics standpoint.. the redistribution of energy that occurs during the decomposition process.

So.. where does that energy go? Well.. back into the universe.
