    Jesus, never heard it put like that before and it feels a lot more visceral.

      It’s actually from an XKCD what if (the light speed baseball pitch one I think). I believe the exact phrase was “You wouldn’t die of anything in particular. You would just suddenly stop being biology and start being physics.” I liked it so I stole it. I also like my modified version “They ascended from biology to a more pure science.”
