You can derive it from these fundamental equations built on this network theory, and you can predict what that number is - about one and a half billion heartbeats. That's why to go back to your, even earlier question, we live a hundred years.Toobin: Why a hundred years? Our natural lifespan is about 40 to 50 years for a human being.
