(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
simple:deathDeath can refer to an event or a state. Death as a state is the opposite of life; death as an event is the opposite of birth. The event of death is the termination of life in a living system, or in part thereof, while the state is that which follows.
Biologically, death can occur to wholes, to parts of wholes, or to both. For example, it is possible for individual cellss and even organss to die, and yet for the organism as a whole to continue to live; many individual cells can live for only a short time, and so most of an organism's cells are continually dying and being replaced by new ones.
Conversely it is also possible for the organism to die and for cells and organs to live and to be used for transplantation. In the latter case, though, the still-living tissues must be removed and transplanted quickly or they too will soon die without the support of their host.
Irreversibility is often cited as a key feature of death and, indeed, scientists have not been able to watch a living organism die and later bring it back to life. Nonetheless, many people do not seem convinced that death is always and necessarily irreversible; thus some have a literal belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, while others have high hopes for the eventual prospects of Cryonics.
The biological function of death is primarily to permit the operation of evolution.
Human Death: Definitions and Significance
By far the most important sort of death to human beings is human death. Thinking about human death raises a number of questions.
First, how can we identify the exact moment at which death has occurred? This seems important, because identifying that moment would allow us to put the correct time on death certificates, make sure that the deceased's will is enacted only after the deceased is truly deceased, and in general guide us regarding when to act as one should act toward a living person and when to act as one should toward a dead person. In particular, identifying the moment of death is important in cases of organ transplant, as organs must be harvested as quickly as possible after death.
Historically, attempts to define the exact moment of death have been problematic. Death was once defined as the cessation of heartbeat and breathing, for example, but the development of CPR and early defibrillation posed a challenge: either the definition of death was incorrect, or techniques had been discovered that really allowed one to reverse death (because, in some cases, breathing and heartbeat can be restarted). Generally, the first option was chosen. (Today this definition of death is known as "clinical death".)
Today, where a definition of the moment of death is required, we usually turn to "brain death" or "biological death": people are considered dead when the electrical activity in their brain ceases. It is presumed that a stoppage of electrical activity indicates the end of consciousness. Those that view that only the neo-cortex of the brain is necessary for consciousness, however, sometimes argue that only electrical activity there should be considered when defining death. In most places the more conservative definition of death (cessation of electrical activity in the whole brain, as opposed to just in the neo-cortex) has been adopted (for example the Uniform Definition of Death Act in the United States).
Even in these cases, the determination of death can be difficult. EEGs can detect spurious electrical impulses when none exists, while there have been cases in which electrical activity in a living brain has been too low for EEGs to detect. Because of this, hospitals often have elaborate protocols for determining death involving EEGs at widely separated intervals.
It might also be worthwhile to entertain the possibility that death does not occur at a particular moment, but unfolds as a process over a period of time. Perhaps, in the end, it is not terribly meaningful to speak of "the exact moment of death".
What happens to humans after death?
Second, and more interesting to many, what, if anything, happens to the human spirit, consciousness or soul when they die? Is there perhaps an afterlife? Can we expect reincarnation? These questions are of long standing. For many, believe in an afterlife is a consolation in connection with death of a beloved one or the prospect of one's own death. On the other hand, fear of hell etc. may make death worse. Human contemplation about death is an important motivation for the development of organized religion.
Many anthropologists feel that the careful burials among Neanderthals, where ornamented bodies were laid in carefully dug, flower-strewn graves, is evidence of early belief in an afterlife.
Physiological consequences of human death
For the human body, the physiological consequences of death include rigor mortis, algor mortis, livor mortis (dependent lividity) and decomposition (decay).
The deceased person is usually either cremated or deposited in a tomb, often a hole in the earth, called a grave. This happens during or after a funeral ceremony.
Graves are usually grouped together in a plot of land called a "cemetery" or a "graveyard" and are often arranged by a funeral home or undertaker.

American, Chinese,
and casino diceDice (the plural of the word die, probably from the Latin dare: to give) are usually small cubes 1-2 cm across, whose faces are numbered from one to six (usually by patterns of dots, with opposite sides totalling seven, and numbers 1, 2 and 3 set in clockwise direction), which are thrown to provide (supposedly uniformly distributed) random numbers for gambling and other games (and thus are a type of hardware random number generator). Dice are thrown, singly or in groups, from the hand or from a cup or box designed for the purpose, onto a flat surface. The face of each die that is uppermost when it comes to rest provides the value of the throw. A typical dice game today is craps, wherein two dice are thrown at a time, and wagers are made on the total value of up-facing spots on the two dice. They are also frequently used to randomize allowable moves in board games such as Backgammon.
"Loaded" or "gaffed" dice can be made in many ways to cheat at such games. Weights can be added, or some edges made round while others are sharp, or some faces made slightly off-square, to make some outcomes more likely than would be predicted by pure chance. Dice used in casinos are often transparent to make loading more difficult.
History
Dice probably evolved from knucklebones, which are approximately tetrahedral. Even today, dice are sometimes colloquially referred to as "bones". Ivory, bone, wood, metal, and stone materials have been commonly used, though the use of plastics is now nearly universal. It is almost impossible to trace clearly the development of dice as distinguished from knucklebones, on account of the confusing of the two games by the ancient writers. It is certain, however, that both were played in times antecedent to those of which we possess any written records.
The fact that dice have been used throughout the Orient from time immemorial, as has been proved by excavations from ancient tombs, seems to point clearly to an Asiatic origin. Dicing is mentioned as an Indian game in the Rig-veda. In its primitive form knucklebones was essentially a game of skill, played by women and children, while dice were used for gambling (game of chance), and it was doubtless the gambling spirit of the age which was responsible for the derivative form of knucklebones, in which four sides of the bones received different values, which were then counted, like dice. Gambling with three, sometimes two, dice was a very popular form of amusement in Greece, especially with the upper classes, and was an almost invariable accompaniment to the symposium, or drinking banquet.
The Romans were passionate gamblers, especially in the luxurious days of the Empire, and dicing was a favourite form, though it was forbidden except during the Saturnalia. Horace derided the youth of the period, who wasted his time amid the dangers of dicing instead of taming his charger and giving himself up to the hardships of the chase. Throwing dice for money was the cause of many special laws in Rome, according to one of which no suit could be brought by a person who allowed gambling in his house, even if he had been cheated or assaulted. Professional gamblers were common, and some of their loaded dice are preserved in museums. The common public-houses were the resorts of gamblers, and a fresco is extant showing two quarrelling dicers being ejected by the indignant host.
Tacitus states that the Germans were passionately fond of dicing, so much so, indeed, that, having lost everything, they would even stake their personal liberty. Centuries later, during the middle ages, dicing became the favourite pastime of the knights, and both dicing schools and guilds of dicers existed. After the downfall of feudalism the famous German mercenaries called landsknechts established a reputation as the most notorious dicing gamblers of their time. Many of the dice of the period were curiously carved in the images of men and beasts. In France both knights and ladies were given to dicing, which repeated legislation, including interdictions on the part of St. Louis in 1254 and 1256, did not abolish.
In Japan, China, Korea, India and other Asiatic countries dice have always been popular and are so still. The markings on Chinese dominoes evolved from the markings on dice, taken two at a time.
Other kinds of dice
Non-cubical dice
Dice with non-cubical shapes were once almost exclusively used by fortune-tellers and in other occult practices, but they have become popular lately among players of roleplaying games and wargames. Such dice are typically plastic, and have faces bearing numerals rather than patterns of dots. The platonic solids are commonly used to make dice of 4, 6, 8, 12, and 20 faces; other shapes can be found to make dice with 10, 30, and other numbers of faces. (See, the Zocchihedron and polyhedral dice). These dice are often described by their numbers of sides, with a d6 being a six-sided die, a d10 a ten-sided die, and so forth.
20, 10 and 4-sided diceA large number of different probability distributions can be obtained using these dice in various ways; for example, 10-sided dice (or 20-sided dice labeled with single digits) are often used in pairs to produce a linearly-distributed random percentage. Summing multiple dice approximates a normal distribution (a "bell curve"), while eliminating high or low throws can be used to skew the distribution in various ways. Using these techniques, games can closely approximate the real probability distributions of the events they simulate.
Spherical dice are also available; these function like the plain cubic dice, but have some sort of internal cavity in which a weight moves which causes them to settle in one of six orientations when rolled.
Cowry shells or coins may be used as a kind of two-sided dice. (Although in the case of cowries it is questionable if they yield a uniform distribution.)
Dice with other labels
Although most dice are labelled with numbers (starting at 1), all sorts of other symbols may be used. The most common ones include (probably among others):
To dice is a cooking term meaning to chop into small cubes.
- color dice (e.g., with the colors of the playing pieces used in a game)
- Poker dice, with the following labels somewhat reminiscent of the names of standard playing cards:
- Nine (of spades; black)
- Ten (of diamonds; red)
- Jack (blue)
- Queen (blue)
- King (red)
- Ace (of clubs; black)
- dice with letters (cf. Boggle)
