摘要
Universal scaling relations for basal metabolism, heart rate, and life-span are presented in a physically transparent form with no adjustable parameters. Their accuracy is a few percent for animals ranging from invertebrates to mammals. They suggest that natural death is related to irreparable molecular damage to specific cells or molecules.
