In this lecture, Roger Penrose examines what truly happens when you die through the lens of fundamental physics. Drawing on thermodynamics, quantum theory, spacetime geometry, and information theory, Penrose explains why atoms persist, energy is conserved, and yet personal identity does not survive biological death. This discussion carefully separates scientific fact from speculation, addressing immortality, consciousness, entropy, and the limits of current physical theory. A rigorous, calm, and deeply analytical exploration grounded in mathematics and objective reality, rejecting mystical interpretations while revealing the profound structure of the universe and our place within it.
