Maybe Sankar Venkateswaran is right: Everyone has a certain number of breaths in their life. Being a heavy smoker, he worries about his own survival. The idea: slowing down the breath so that it lasts longer. Then he does a bit of math and comes up with the fact that if he breathed once a minute he would live to be 1,200 years old. Something like that. Question: If you hold your breath, do you live forever? No, then you’re dead.
