There is a saying that 'nobody knows when is going to die' but with the recent development by scientist from Lancaster University, the saying might be heading to history bin.
According to Huff Post,
An ingenious but slightly ominous 'laser death test' has been developed by scientists that can tell you how long you have left to live.
A simple and painless laser pulse applied to the skin analyses endothelial cell that lines the capillaries, reports the Sunday Times.
Oscillations in these cells are used to determine the a person's time of imminent death as well as testing for diseases such as cancer and dementia.
The research has been conducted by Aneta Stefanovska and Peter McClintock, physics professors from Lancaster University and is funded by government grants.
The laser is applied through a wristwatch-style device and a working version is expected to be in use within three years.
