Pretty sure there was some decay going on. Twit.

Actually, biochemical decay starts immediately upon cessation of circulation, and progress at different rates for different organs and cells.

It may not stink for a while, but by the time it starts to stink from bacterial action, it has already gone a long way down the path of irreversible chemical decay.

It might slow the rate at which the body is eaten by worms and bacteria, but won't make a bit of difference to the rate at which the cells basically digest their own organelles.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Don't know. Maybe a meteor will hit the earth and literally set it a blaze. Or maybe we could be struck hard enough to be forced from our orbit.
Which in turn will also set the world ablaze

Current theory of stellar evolution and climate modeling suggests there less than 1 billion years before earth in its current orbit would become too hot to support complex organism with biochemistry similar to ours.

Shit, that makes it sound urgent.
