The Heartbeat Formula

The video explores the relationship between heart rate and lifespan in mammals, using elephants and shrews as examples. It explains that a mammal's lifespan can be predicted by dividing a constant by its heart rate. Despite their size differences, both elephants and shrews have hearts that beat approximately 1 billion times in their lifetimes. This shared trait is common among most wild mammals.
