More about this programme: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b012w66t Sexton beetles quickly buried a dead rat in the After Life house to keep it for themselves and hide it from rival decomposing organisms. 36 days later Dr George McGavin does a spot of archaeology to find out what they've done with their tasty prize.

  • @topbluffa1 energy and resources are cyclic, but only within the creatures that carry them. Consciousness, being a function of the brain, stops with the last electrical signal generated by it. maybe even sooner depending on what the last signals control...

  • yet more proof along with the conservation of energy that reincarnation exists and that life is cyclic.
