Physical impossibility of consensus of death in the mind of someone faulty

In 1985 Fischer, Lynch, and Paterson proved that consensus was impossible in a distributed system even if communication is perfectly reliable, if at most one process can fail, and if it can do so only by crashing. In 1991 Damien Hirst put a tiger shark in a steel tank filled with formaldehyde. I doubt these two things are related.
