Glad You Asked: What Happens When We Die?
by Chad Mumm
Overview
The one thing guaranteed in life is death. We still know very little about what happens when the moment arrives, however. Following a conversation with a viewer, the team at Vox's Glad You Asked decided to answer the unanswerable: What happens when we die?
From defining the internet to figuring out why we cry, Vox's Glad You Asked is a YouTube Originals series. It explores the most-asked questions on YouTube. In this 2019 episode, Glad You Asked producer and presenter Alex Clark ponders the meaning of death from both physical and non-physical perspectives with scientists. He also meets survivors of near-death experiences.

I was skeptical. I was a scientist before I went into medicine … But I'm absolutely certain that consciousness survives death and that we keep going through a cycle.
- Dr. Tony Circoria, near-death experience survivor
