What Is Life?
Voyager’s Golden Record carries the sounds of a living world into deep space. But what exactly did humanity send — and why is life so difficult to define?
A podcast narrated by Eddie Stirling

02
What Is Birth?
A first breath looks like a clear beginning. Biology tells a more intricate story: birth as transition, separation, recognition and entry into a human world.
03
What Is Death?
Medicine has separated signs of life that once vanished together. When does the body die, when does the person end — and how much continues in others?
