Someone died today... someone I don't know a great deal... a fellow scientist, a fellow string theorist, a person who was a student of my supervisor... a person who was less than ten years older than me...
the solar eclipse was meant to be doomsday according to some astrologers... the world is safe for most of us... some though are not so lucky.
as an atheist, I do not believe in souls and afterlives.. but if I am wrong, ..... may your soul rest in peace.
