Well, there's the laws of physics, and the Second Law of Thermodynamics pushing the arrow of time forwards. Beyond that, not much is actually inevitable: people just prefer to rationalize anything awful as Inevitable because this gives them a comforting sense of metaphysics.
2nd law of thermodynamics only applies on macroscopic scale. So not really inevitable.
Plus, the laws of physics are based on a set of axioms, which don't necessarily have to be true.

Well no. They're based on empirical observations.
I prefer the original title of the article: "The secret of living to 200 years old". Does what it says. Not sure why it was changed.
Death? I mean, if you will not die, you could die? And taxes of course.
Well, until now (and in the foreseeable feature) death is one of them.
I guess one would be that for life to exist it needs to use energy.
