Universal scaling relations for basal metabolism, heart rate, and life-span are presented in a physically transparent form with no adjustable parameters. Their accuracy is a few percent for animals ranging from invertebrates to mammals. They suggest that natural death is related to irreparable molecular damage to specific cells or molecules.
基础代谢、心率和寿命的通用标度关系以一种物理上透明的形式呈现，且没有可调整的参数。对于从无脊椎动物到哺乳动物的各类动物而言，它们的准确度约为百分之几。这些关系表明，自然死亡与特定细胞或分子的不可修复的分子损伤有关。
