If the point of life is to find why, does that mean the point of death is to find x?

The point of death is to satisfy the second law of thermodynamics. Seriously, I don't know if there is a philosophical "point" to death.
 
Haha, funny pun. So funny it looks like Mentat missed it! :smile:

Set each equal to zero then solve for infinity.

Can one now conclude that Einsteinsqd has lost his mind?

Mentat, you are going down! Draw your sword! ( starts raving like a lunatic) ( psyenergy blasts the wall, and runs out with pants on fire from re-bound psyenergy blast screaming I WILL HAVE REVENGE!)
Note: This is not actually like me, but I just think it is cool to bring my two favorite interests, Golden Sun and physics in the same website.
