      @ladygrl Cremation releases your body's energy as heat into the atmosphere, eventually radiating it out to space. Best to bury. Coffin is OK

          @neiltyson Thank you! I've pref cremation bc of earth's diminishing land mass but atmospheric consequences aren't something I've considered.

          @Jessjaffa Oooh, the tricksy heretofore unmentioned 3rd option. Is this a draw, energy wise @neiltyson? Minus the energy to fling?

          @neiltyson At what point do we address the space taking up by graveyards. They are increasing exponentially as they never deplete.

          @neiltyson I never thought about this. I've always wanted to be cremated cause I thought burials wasted space and destroyed forestations.
