      It’s like all those stories from the 1800s of clocks stopping the moment a person died. Turns out of a lot of the clocks back then would stop running if you turned them sideways, which a lot of doctors did at night to be able to read the time of death.

          I like to read science fiction from that time and look at the things the authors, some of them actual scientists, overlooked.
