The relationship 'brain damage' between the number of talent and Death

Based on statistical studies, the scientists tracked the relationship between Death and the number 8 .

'Birth, old age, sickness, death' - that is a rule that everyone must go through. Everyone knows that when they get old, the risk of facing human death is increasing.

But when scientists gathered mortality statistics at each age, they discovered a strange connection between death and number 8.

From the time of birth to adulthood, the ability of people to die is gradually reduced because of growing up, our resistance to disease is increasingly improved. But from the peak of the age of 25 until death, the mortality rate gradually increased at a regular pace.

When young, not many people have to worry about illness or death

The scientist Robert Krulwich gave the following example. For those in their 25s, the possibility of that person dying in the coming year for natural reasons (ie no accident or war) is 1: 3000. That is, in 3000 people aged 25 today, 2999 people will "survive" through the age of 26.

According to the scientists' data, by the age of 33 (ie 8 years after the first milestone), the death rate is 1: 1500, which means doubling. For every 1500 people 33 years old, 1 person will die before entering the next birthday.

The higher the age, the closer the Death God is.

For the next 8 years, people aged 41 faced a 1: 750 death rate. Here, we can draw a rule that after the most prolific age of human life, the possibility of Death knocking on the door regularly doubled every 8 years.

You can calculate for those who turn 49, 1 out of 350 friends of their age will leave the next year. It should be noted that the numbers here are the average value calculated across a large community.

The death rate gradually increases gradually according to certain rules

This regular repetition poses big questions for scientists. Why did the number 8 shake hands with Death but not another number?

Why do mortality rates rise steadily rather than erratic or random?

From the nineteenth century, British statistician Benjamin Gompertz discovered this connection. His name is given to Gompertz-Makeham's law , showing that human mortality is doubled every 8 years.

Brian Skinner, a young American scientist who believes that Gompertz-Makeham's law is closely related to the decline of the immune system in humans. As immunity gradually weakens with age, the risk of disease and death of people also follow that slowly increases.

Even research on wild animals shows the same thing: The mortality rate of most species doubles after a fixed number of X years.

But scientists have not yet answered why number 8, not any other, is naturally tied to the destiny of such people.
