Hey guys, I've been wondering lately. You know those " Know when you'll die " sites? Do they truly work? If not how do they calculate a random date like that? If so, HOW? Thanks=P
There is no way to truly "know when somone will die".
All those sites do is take the average life span of a human, and add or subtract various amounts of time based on your livelyhood.
In other words, say if you smoke they will subtract 5 years, but you exercise every day so they add 4 years. If you eat well they will add 3 years but if you drink, they remove 4. So on and so forth.
In other words, it is nothing more than an educated guess.
