- What would you do if you were immortal?
You'll forever mourn the loss of your loved ones - as you will outlive them all. You'll lose your sense of purpose - what's the point when you have all the time in the world? You'll see the worlds falling apart, but that might be the least of your concerns.
You're far removed from humanity. But is there all to it?
In this short animation film, we'll take you on a 1000-year journey to probe the question: What it feels like to be immortal?
We're exploring this topic in depth in this video, and we want to hear from you about your thoughts. What do you think it would be like to live forever? What would be the implications of living forever? Let us know in the comments below!

Good stuff, the video is great!
Great video. What's the name of the background music?
super underrated
I hope mankind never achieves an immortality serum! You pictured the best case scenario. Real world would see the rich, Bill Gates, Bezos, and similar parasites paying millions of dollars for the regular injections to live forever while the rest of us become their tenant farmers and slave workers! Death is the LAST great equalizer!
>climate change has completely flooded basically 50% of the landmass
Completely idiotic take. There is not enough water on the globe to do that. At most, we would lose several island chains, some coastal areas and low-lying areas that are not protected in time, like Bangladesh.
It would be bad, it would swallow up whole island nations and displace millions of people.
It would be bad. But NOT *apocalyptic*.
Global warming CAN and WILL be managed. We could always launch orbital mirror satellites in large enough numbers to deflect enough sunlight to cool the Earth down.
And it is possible for us to switch from fossil fuels to more nuclear fission reactors as well as commercial nuclear fusion power soon enough.
Musk's SpaceX will make the Starship work and we'll have plenty of cheap and easy orbital lift capability, enough to be able to afford to send space probes to prospect for minerals on asteroids.
There are so many raw materials, sources of energy, so much water-ice and living space in the Solar System, soon much, enough for one million Chinas.
We can mine asteroids, live in O'Neill space cylinder colonies which generate gravity by spinning around their own axis.
Stop freaking out. The Earth has problems. But it is NOT DYING. Nowhere close. And neither are we.
There are solutions, and we will use them.
if I achieve immortality, pretty sure I am gonna spend the 1st 100-200 years procrastinating
True true
Gotta at least hibernate between eras
You know that you will miss languages, that is after 200 years most languages will become incoherent.

ikr people now have a lifespan of about 80 and get depressed in their teenage years lol
right like i only made it 16 💀💀💀
😂😂😂
Same.. Tho I'm even more amazed that she lives that long and don't seem to have any kind of personal development beyond that of a thirty year old: No disillusionment with people and society.. no crisis of losing faith in her taught doctrins... no need to reconstruct herself and her beliefs and outlook on life. - I mean even though she doesn't physically age, one would still expect just the sheer accumulation of life experience would tip her off at some point, as I believe it normally would at around age 50, give or take.. But in her case apparently she went almost 700 years before at least taking the babysteps of trying on a propositional belief in "things like signs and fate".
@@Longest._.Comment what.
I really appreciated this video because its like a "How To"Guide for Immortality. I was struggling with grasping my own immortality until this video! Thank you!!
🤨
bruh what
about 20 years ago a good friend of mine told me that he didnt want to be an immortal since you'd see everyone you cared about dying one by one.
You have a really good point there
Eternal loneliness
You’re going to have people die anyway…
Somebody will see them die one by one anyway
Wouldn’t you bond with newer generations of family and friends as you continue to live though?
A quote from another corner of the web: "It's not immortality that most people want, but being able to choose when to die."
You can choose when to die though but you can't live for too long.
This is just perfect. I feel like we'll all want to end things at some point. Not in a totally sad, suicidal kinda way, but in a complete way. At some point, depending on how you lived, you'll feel like you've done it; you've done just about everything you wanted/needed to do. Maybe that desire to live forever comes from a lack of control of how long we get to live... which is pretty much what you just said ok im sorry i'll leavebye
If I was given the choice, I‘d live for as long as humanity exists.
I want to see the entirety of human history through.
Sounds like that would drive someone insane, I’d do it with a fast forward button, a pause and rewind button if we really want to haw fun.
Ya
I think her immortality reflect how many humans are alive. Once the last human die, her immortality was stripped away, allowing her to age.

This was such a sad yet beautiful story
It was depressing garbage
If I'm immortal like an elf in the Tolkien movies, I'd spend the first 1000 years sleeping with countless men and women
The concept of immortality is so beyond human perception, that even in this story the immortal is eventually mortal.
She probably wakes up two weeks later, rejuvenated and all, turns out she just didn't sleep ever since she arrived at that planet💀

@@Ztier are you unable to read
@@DEESEPTAKONN_ ?
Thats horrible but i believe her immortality didnt allow her to be damaged or to suffer pain
@@Hegel194 It was either that her Bio-immunity was so strong that she could live indefinitely in earth's environment for a couple hundred years with no signs of aging or it was misalligned with the foreign entities, to live in the new environment, in the end depression, bad mental health, are a result of external factors, that affect our metabolism, which if not in healthy condition can work very didderently. So, if your body has superhuman level of immunity, will you feel sad or the body will take care that such emotions never come.
I love how this is invertedly a theory on how human life started on this planet.
Not even close. There’s a theory that the first microscopic life might have gotten to Earth from like Mars or something. But it would have to be the first single celled life that’s the ancestor of all life on Earth. And that’s because all life on Earth is genetically related no matter how distantly. There’s no way that only humans came from somewhere else while everything else evolved here.
@@mudshovel289 True, but there is part of our DNA found nowhere else on this planet. Genetic manipulation isn't too far out of the picture.
@mudshovel: thats a thought through theory. Trust me, there are far more fantastic theories about how we came to be… theories.
@@JB-xe1nm okay so just to be clear, the actual definition of a scientific theory is not what you and I have been using. The actual definition of a theory is something that has been proven by experiments. A law on the other hand is something that can be calculated exactly by a mathematical formula. So when someone has an idea about something but it hasn’t been proven yet, that’s not a theory.
@@mudshovel289 but that's just a game theory
I think being immortal is not a curse, but a blessing. In my opinion lonelyness is not the problem, but rather what you as a person can do in order not to get bored. Sadness will lessen after you experience it many times, it's like dopamine where you need higher "levels" of sadness after a while.
Meanwhile you could experience all the amazing stuff existing now and stuff coming to be in the future. Maybe you could lead humanity yourself with academics to make others immortal. Or dedicate your life to advancing science, making it possible for other humans to atleast prolong their life. Lastly you could also try to stir the world towards finding life on other planets after humans colonize the other planets. Being immortal doesn't automatically mean a sad end, it means happyness and awe just as well. Just thinking of what the future 1000 years are gonna deliver makes me frustrated that I can't live long enough to experience it myself xD
For me personally I wouldn't like to be immortal it'd be so hard to be happy when everyone I love just dies lol
What happens after humanity dies out? What about after everything dies out, because that will happen eventually and you would just be stranded there for eternity floating through space
@@FourthWig that's fine, you can hallucinate
I'm impressed no one tried to kidnap her to find the secret behind her immortality. Such good people around her.
She has hella cash, I’m sure she has good security
She's probably the goddess of her cult and have built mind altering devices affecting those near her . Like a queen termite.
Yeah im sure if someone had some type of super power they would be kidnapped by the their government for experiments in like less than a year.
Agents of SHIELD flashbacks...
Yeah almost like this isn't a real story
This is certainly one of the best videos I've ever seen on this platform.
It truly is. It’s so wonderfully narrated and animated. It feels real.
movie material 👍
That was truly beautiful. I cried several times at this emotional storytelling.
Props to the immortal cameraman who filmed all of this.
The camera man never dies
It was a nuclear powered AI android tbh.
Surprised that she never married the immortal cameraman.
True. True.
Camera man never dies.
and then she woke up from her dream, and realized she was late to school.
Damn
Damn
700 years late😶
@@Bratz_kipmore like 7 minutes late to school.
I was almost crying at the end of the video and then saw this and that crying transformed into laughter 🤣
This is so well put together! The story is super deep and the narrating is awesome! Animation is great and is just WOW.
And 700 years isn't even a speck on geological timescales, let alone the timeline of the universe. True immortality, living for billions of years until the end of time itself, would be one of the worst fates imaginable.
To end up being an immortal and to be floating around in a great vastness of darkness,(after the universe dies)and alone for eternity.....yeah that's harsh beyond belief.
Maybe. I feel like we might need to know more about the human brain and this hypothetical.
I actually suspect the brain can adapt to existing forever eventually.
I feel whether or not it would be a hellish experience is completely dependent upon the person's personality and viewpoints.... Some people do not have the personal attachments or emotional hang ups that would constitute depression or even half of the things that most people think they would feel after this point in time.... So in the end whether it's a blessing or a curse is completely dependent upon your outlook.... In fact I would argue that one would probably go through cycles great joy and Great depression throughout the whole of eternity... Not to mention if the universe did in one was left floating in the vastness of nothing they would probably find an escape into their own mind creating a whole world within their head
Nah, I don't think so. I think that the first few hundred could be difficult, but then one would transcend humanity and become something else entirely. Something that would not experience human tiredness, boredom, loneliness.
@@LLight4 exactly...... This video is thinking about the concept of immortality from a mortal viewpoint... When one is no longer mortal can you really expect them to think about their own existence in a mortal manner.... And that's not even including the theory that the brain can only hold so much information so eventually you wouldn't even be the same individual and unless you kept very detailed diaries your own past would be something foreign as if it was lived by a whole different Bing
The thing that's really different here from most other "immortal" stories is the fact that the general population seems to have simply accepted such a being in their midst.
And the fact she ended up not being immortal 🤣
@@brettk9316 True. But the people back home did not know that. She only started showing signs of aging after she reached the new world. ;- )
Yep, I was expecting that she will get experimented by other hooman
To be fair, among the most succesfull people there are also the most greedy ones, as you need an insane drive to get to that stage and greed is a very powerfull drive force. Such greedy people that already have most of what the world can bring them would probably set their sights on such a person.
@@diasdewantara5119 Actually she was researched voluntarly for no results, man.
9:43 The fact that the male partner has no face is actually kind of chilling if you think about it. She's fallen in love so many times...they all blend together. No one partner stands out from the rest. She just misses the feeling of being in love, even knowing that it's going to end and she'll be dancing alone again.
That is chilling, time and identities blur together
I thought she just made a faceless man
Absolutely wrong assumption. I remember each and every friend, especially all women I was in relationship with. So having my mind in tip top shape forever actually means to remember everything forever.
@borsman have you survived 700 years to prove that?
@@him6603 Nah he's just the idiot for this comment chain. Every chain has one. Usually some kind of trump nonsense but every now and then you get general stupidity too.
Ill be happy.
I can finally finish that list of anime i been neglecting.
Doubt "One Piece" will be finished in that "short" Timeframe 🤣
I actually would like to live forever or for like 2000 years. I could use my time to help humans, just by having a lot of experience and time to work things out. I have already no friends or close family so i can't get more lonely.
😢
There is a big mistake in this video.
If the world would notice her not aging, than she would spent the rest of eternety as a labrat. No way she would have aged to 80 or older without getting kidnaped.
It also assumes immortal means eternal youth which isn't necessarily the same thing. Imagine an immortal that kept aging but just not dying. But still would feel pain from being wounded.
@@Zivilin also true
@@Zivilin I think the idea behind this is that our bodies generally start decaying beyond repair at around 25, that's when you officially fully mature and instead of growing just start dying. If the second half of that process never happened, you'd be around that age forever.
That's just movie crap.
@@Zivilin Nicholas Flamel's elixir of life granted a form of immortality that only protected against time.
Ive always had this idea that, somewhere in this world, there is an immortal person who has lived centuries, but has developed a skill to appear and disappear in and out of peoples lives as to not raise questions. They're a father that went to get milk, a soldier who went missing in battle. Someone who walked away from a car crash. An unsoved murder mystery. They exist in some people's lives, and then disappear. And as those people die, they can not ask questions. Therefore, the identity is a secret.
Edit: OK now I kinda wanna make like some sort of creepy pasta series about it. It's kind of like SCP, where there's these groups of immortals, and we write up fictional documents about suspects and sightings :)
Maybe cain since he's supposed to be cursed to wander the earth till the end of days.
@@licensed_beheader don't get your information on theology from Lucifer, nowhere in the Bible does it say that, it says that he died at the age of 730 by his house falling on him and the stones from his house killing him, an eye for an eye, much better punishment imo.
@@licensed_beheader I stand by that the bastard deserved it. I just shouldn't have lied about it.
Ollanius pius?
Sounds like the movie "Man From Earth." I think in that movie during some point of the man's life he got nailed to a cross. Three days later he was gone from that situation!
Wow. Nostalgia x20000. Amazing job with this story.
This was amazing!!!
700 years is just a long life, not immortality. Think of a million year or billion year long life. That would be interesting philisophically.
You would definitely cease to be a human in the traditional sense. Hard to speculate about what this kind of being would be like, because we cannot relate to it in any way.
Assuming the limitations of the human brain are still present, it's also possible that you'd run out of memory space and essentially keep living thousands of relatively short lives, forgetting everything that came before it. That's the much healthier option
I feel like you would be the apidami of “can’t give two fucks iama kill the endangered species and bang the alien” kinda mood. You would also be incredibly high wisdom, your body would be so in tune with whatever world you lived on for millions of years you would effectively know all weakness of everything alive while have non you self (magic immortal) then you can’t forget the being worshiped as a god because you lived since they started to become sentient. And eventually when nothings left except black holes I imagine your brain just shuts off till a external stimuli happens and then a new Big Bang occurred to create a new universe to mess around with.
@@georgiykireev9678 Well at 700+ years she's already beyond what is considered human in the traditional sense. But I'm assuming that if evolution allowed for a human to live that long, it would also allow for our brain capacity to increase.
As it currently stands, our brain's capacity is 2.4 petabites.
@@georgiykireev9678 we kinda delete some memories and keep the ones we love the most, my memories of my granparents for example so its not running out of space its more like selective memories
even 10k years isn't immortal. would be nice though (if you knew for sure it'd end eventually)
The story was so good that it genuinely felt WAY longer than 12 minutes
Yeah It was a full 700 years
felt like an hour long movie
@@iciclefreezestar same
Omg it’s 12 min how did I just realize that
4 minutes in felt like 12 minutes bro
Great video,nice story,felt like i have watched a good movie
Beautiful story beautifully naratted. I love the animation.
Y'know, with what's happening in the world, I wouldn't put it past us to take her into a lab for testing in order to get breakthroughs both scientifically and medically.
They forgot that the CIA would probably take her away to test on and cover it up it sounds like a conspiracy type of thing but it is the most realistic thing to happen
Well that is a logical thing to do and she must've done it herself in this vid. Of course with people she trusts. It's not such a bad thing. She did study a lot so she would definitely do it.
No profit in curing people, but you could make Super $oldiers, for country's at War. Also Biological Weapons would be a big market.
@@LtHarkness187
She doesn't even need to profit anymore. It should've been investment to make other immortal people as future companions, finally making space travel and colonization possible. Although the person in the vid isn't really immortal, she's closer to a long lived race like elf or something. She could actually be the first elf if she succeeded to fix earth or colonize other planets, but what happened was she becane the last human being. Those humans in the life pods at the end will never wake up, it was simply a big failed experiment. She should've started the experiment back on earth instead of taking time being depressed.
This immortal Is artificial intelligence
Honestly, when she landed and killed everything around her, I though the story would go about her being the meteor that wiped out dinos and started our civilisation. It would be amazing to think our world just goes in a loop.
She should've walked away from the crater a bit and find life she didn't destroy 😂
@@c_n_b That would be a very long walk, but considering her immortality it might be possible.
so bad for her!!
😂 Right
I THOUGHT THAT TOO!!
Remarkable story and video. We agree with courage.
I want this to be a film so bad. Seeing that 9:32 in the big screen feels ethereal and comforting. Almost teared up during that part
I honestly think that the discovered habitable place she began to live in, probably is not the same as earth, it probably had something that finally aged her.
Yeah. It may increase human aging
Agreed!
According to Einstein's Theory of Relativity (Proven in 1905), the curvature of space itself, depending on the strength of gravitation at your location, affects how fast or slow time is experienced. Considering this, it's entirely possible that the gravitation on the new planet had sped up the rate at which she aged.
@@cultofmel that isn't how it works
That’s what I was thinking
I think she was the human incarnation of Mother Earth. She probably started subtly aging once she left Earth which was the source of her power. Then it became exponential once she was away a long enough time. The purpose of her existence was to start life anew somewhere else.
Perfect 👏 👏 👏 👏
What a beautiful interpretation
More amazing than the video itself.
Nice

Wow, amazing video but I guess my depression is back after this good day cause that was like, beautiful and horrifying.
As a kid, I always think having immortality would make me go whenever I want, play whenever I want, and talk to people socially. As I age, the concept of Immortality I learned so far it has but a price to pay: Humanity and Sanity. The longer you live and see your loved one dies, the more your emotions, feelings, and expressions will diminished. The saying goes "I'm alive but dead inside"
But is this really true?
You can have many dogs in your life and still be loving to each of them.
@@molybdaen11 You maybe right. But The question is "can you bear losing someone either your pet or family that you cherished so much and losing them again and again forever?"
immortality is a torture of living in infinite age. It's curse for me to think about it.
Although, confronting that feeling like was done in this scenario, shows it can be overcome. But to add to your point, another thing you don't or can't consider is how little actual power you'd have despite being immortal. Sure you could TRY to build it up, but it's never a given.
Yea they would definitely just lock her in a lab and do countless inhumane tests for hundred of years
even if you go insane you’d regain your sanity eventually not even mental states are permanent
People say that immortality is bad because of loneliness and stuff. But have they thought about the people who liked being immortal, and/or the people who knew the flaws of being immortal but chose it anyway?
no one has been immortal
In my opinion immortality is bad because we tend to procrastinate. That means an immortal would be able to procrastinate longer. Doing absolutely nothing and just exist.
Being a mortal makes me realize that time is short. In that, I think i can appreciate life better.
well phylosophicaly and even scientificaly procrastination isn't a bad thing, since it helps with creativity, just the way being lazy help with being inovative, and it dosen't accsually hurt anybody, it's just that some people are not used to it. So its only bad if you make it out to be bad, like if you are a workoholic i see why you would think that, but otherwise no its not really a bad thing.
@@alexandramilos392 Procrastinating as in we are not motivated to do anything. Like saying "I'll do it tomorrow" over and over again.

❤ I truly loved this beautiful story ❤️
I'm a little surprised no one seems to have made much of an effort to understand/recreate her immortality. You know people would want a piece of that for themselves the second they realized it was a thing
Yeah, every time someone is immortal in real life they disappear into some institution dungeon to be experimented on until regime change, then forgotten.
@@FollowMe4REP well as far as we’re aware theres no immortal humans.. but there are 2 immortal life forms on earth that repair their own cells once they get old

@@FollowMe4REP jellyfish are one of them i think
@@FollowMe4REP what else do you wanna know? Lol
I'm impressed that there's no one that tried to find a way to replicate her immortality for years
It had to be taken out of play. Because if so she’d be a target her whole life
True, if it was real life, she probably would get dissected by those scientists
@kazeascart4154 Not really much dissecting someone would give you.
Focus would be more on her DNA and blood/tissue samples etc. to find out how her metabolism is diffrent in fighting ageing.
Overall not that much you'd have to do besides a few doctor visits, and in return you might get a world where everyone is immortal like you and won't die away with time. Seems pretty worth it
To cheat death is a power only one has achieved.
Great storyline along with great animation ❤ from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
A nice thought experiment but with an idealistic outcome. Realistically, she reaches age 150 and looking like 25, she gets "disappeared". She lives out the rest her existence "whatever that means" as a science experiment.
Yeah, but she was public knowledge and had because almost a religious figure. Someone disappears here and the world would come looking. You better hope absolutely no one in that facility ever leaks her whereabouts.
"idealistic outcome"?
Earth is gone. Humanity is gone.
She plays Sim City for a bit the plays Civilization and decides that humanity should be put on ice indefinitely.
Who will wake them up when she dies?
Leaving the fate of the species to a MACHINE is peak stupidity.this whole story is depressing garbage
Except she wasn't immortal, she just lived 9x longer than than average, be actually immortal is one the most terrifying things I can imagine
Someone else in the comment section theorized that the Earth was the source of her immortality. Also, there wasn't exactly confirmation that she died at the end, she might have just continued aging indefinitely.
@@kirbcake buuut if you consider resl life physics, then she would see nothing due to the fact that theoretically, go faster than light, and Time Travel.
@@OVODnet Yeah you havn't thought this through very well. So what do you do once the sun is too hot for earth? Oh no, i'll burn for eternity while trapped in space! Easy to use your logic against you. Except that is just one of the thousands of ways your life could take a permanently tragic turn. Death sucks, but you're kidding yourself if you think immortality is gonna be a breeze.
Oh no, not one of. THE MOST terrifying. You do not want to be the last conscious, undying thing present after the heat death of the universe, floating through infinite icy-cold darkness for not just a really long time, but for actual eternity. Say what you will about christian depictions of hell, but I'll take the changing stimuli of pitchforks and brimstone over an eternity of absolute nothingness, and no change in that whatsoever any day of the week.
@@kirbcake Nah, i think she just had an abnormally long lifespan. But what is important in regard to the immortality theme, is that up until that point, she DIDN'T KNOW that, so to her, the despair of seeing everything disappear before you for eternity had fully set in.
So the message is we need to raise the age limit to 600 years and the world will be okay
700*

Well... basically, if humans live long enough to reap the fruits of their deeds, than maybe they would be more careful ;D
This is so beautiful i wanna cry...
This was very beautiful.
if she dies of old age then she's not immortal, she just has a incredibly long lifespan. would've been interesting to see someone animate what they think would happen to a human when they live until the end of the time.
Yeah it did feel a bit clickbaity... but I enjoyed it anyways
But she tried unaliving herself, right? It seems like she lost her immortality when she got out of Earth or when allof humanity was dead
time as we no it will never come to an end, Imagine an immortal watch, it would go on ticking till forever
Actually there is a video with exactly that premise outliving even the universe itself
@@elcuentahistorias6781what is the video titled?
Animating that dance at the end must've been a *PAIN* but I admire every second of it.
Pretty sure it was rotorscopped, which means they drew over an existing footage of two people dancing. So it might've been easier than some other scenes in the video.

Honestly.... Immortality has it's downsides but, I feel there's lots of positives as well. So much you could do.
It would be a shame to see many of your loved one's and friends pass away but, at the same time I'd say you could certainly take advantage of this as well.
The main crux of it all is not knowing if you were given a purpose, how others view your existence, or whether you can decide to end your own life if you so chose.
I mean, all this would affect you for eons but, imagine what you could see, experience, and accomplish with all this timeless-time?
you don't realize what you're saying... This girl in the animation is NOT immortal she just have a long life... Being immortal would be like an eternity in Satan's hand suffering alone forever. ( don't forget that one day earth will die, the sun will go exctinct and so ALL things in the universe. So you would be alone floating in space in COMPLETE darkness forever. Immortality is a nightmare!
Great, now i have tears in my eyes !
I was hoping to see her witness the sun die or something... She was not imortal, just lived a bit longer. Despite the wrong title, I loved the story!
This like she wasn’t even a thousand
But maybe she was immortal in Earth’s conditions. Lots of possibilities
thats why the title is “what it FEELS like”
That reminds me of "Doctor Who" series.
The "doctor" who is a time traveler and time lord, lived(the 12th doctor)over 2000 years and witnessed millions of stars dying!
“a bit”
When she learned she cannot die, I wondered if she ever got drunk or just thought she was a lucky person. since alchohol is a toxin.
This was a really good story and animation. Thanks for this great 12 minute break that I didn't know I needed. I feel refreshed and ready to tackle something important to me now.
I imagine she had a form of high speed regeneration paired with limited reanimation and not true immortality. So she probably 'died' a few times from attempting suicide, but her body reformed itself and came back to life.
*poison
I thoroughly enjoyed the story, stumbled across it recently. I really appreciated the attempt at optimism despite the bleak circumstances.
Given the choice myself, I'd have worked towards uploading human minds into a Jupiter Brain as opposed to taking off to another planet. Replace the meat with metal and all can live as long as they wish. Especially since it means I'd be able to make myself die when I felt done with life. No species stagnates without death after all. So what better option than to change the species?
Though I will throw out that she'd have started forgetting things much earlier in life, this because human brains can only hold roughly 2.5 petabytes, it dumps a ton of extra data to make space for new experiences. So she'd have to continually re-learn information or forget what had passed her by 100 years ago.
You're a really good storyteller wow
Well she's not immortal but such a beautiful animation.
@@Papermin6927 Or maybe outlive the shit out of it, and heck even survive the next big bang - birth of the new universe and then comes the next Earth.
@@muahoacai7095 There will be no "next" big bang and even if there was there would be no earth.
Nice story, I like how it concentrated on the emotional aspect of being lonely as the only semi-immortal.
The only thing that's missing is the time perception. As we live longer, time feels shorter. A year to some aged 10 is one tenth of their life and can seem a like a long time. To someone aged 400 a year may feel insignificant.
That's why as she's older the story whizzes through decades at a time.
@@Liusila perfect. Also, when she started to rapidly age the years slowed right down. I imagine after almost 700 years of being alone she welcomed her end.
@@Liusila That isn't actually how time perception works.
@@mjennyd_yt2 I think they're saying that as she's living longer, decades are less valuable to her as she's already lives loads of those
@@frostyturkey3591 That is still entirely mindset based and subjective.
Very nice video. 😊❤
This is a good take on this but the thing is a person who really experiences this would not have multiple family’s. Watching your child and lover die of old age is not just painful it’s a very dreadful feeling that your going to out live them and it leaves you empty, confused and leads to 100s of years of what is the point and personal abuse. It makes friendships and relationships of any kind feel pointless and scary because in the end you will always be alone. This only takes about one generation of loss to understand. Life then becomes so lonely because your to scared to make friends or have romantic partners for fear of loosing them. It feels like your in the end of everything while at the same time life keeps moving. It’s anxiety, fear and lonely inducing to say the least.
There are people who want to die at 20...there are people who love life at 90. This scenario completely depends on the individual. Also we all lose friends and even partners, but we go on. I personally would love a long long lifespan!
It's nice to establish a community who chose to live a longer life. The people I know don't care and they want to live a short life. I really need to make new friends as much as possible really before they'd be gone.
Agreed!
I think the main thing that bums me out about my limited lifespan is that I won't be able to reasonably see every culture or witness the future artistic and scientific achievements of humanity after my death. I know that the longer one lives, the more the likelihood is that something happens that will traumatize you horribly or make you miserable... but in the end I think all I really care about is learning and art. If I had to live a super-long life I'd dedicate it to learning languages, and artistic and scientific learning. For the betterment of all generations...

It just hit me. The new planet was deadly to humans.
The clones couldn’t survive there at all, and even an immortal would be gradually drained of life.
After seeing what humans did to every other planet, planets started vaccinating themselves.
or maybe they didn't survive because they were an invasive species, the planet was protecting themselves from us,

@@ragnorockcookie2868 humanity is evil and good they will learn to balance each other you suffer but found happiness after it you were having fun but thing turn into despair that why i can see future depending on my emotions
This was such a beautifully done video. To know that we only have at most 85 or so years on this Earth is quite sad. Right now, I'm 43. It scares me to think that my life is about halfway over. I wish I had A LOT more time. I want to see things advance for the good of the world. I want to see world peace. I want to see people finally accept others for who they are instead of judging them because they don't like what they see. I want to see humanity actually care about the environment instead of trying to destroy it. We DON'T have a planet B that we can just up and fly to. It would take centuries to terraform a planet that could be considered "Earth-like". Mars is only half the size of earth. So not very big. To have the technology to fly lightyears outside our galaxy to another "Earth-like" planet would take a very very long time. We don't know if we'll ever get to that stage in the future, or if we'll just end up wiping humanity out. There is so much potential with humanity, but we're failing ourselves in allowing that potential to get even better. Maybe one day humanity will truly be what it is destined to be.

Serious question - do you really need three homes? It is so frustrating to hear wealthy people talk about having multiple homes when there are so many people living on the streets suffering. I hate how that is viewed as success in this society. Success should be for ALL of us, not just a select few of us. I hope someday we have universal housing for all.
Also this feels like spam, what does any of this have to do with an animated video about an immortal woman?
What I find puzzling is that the immortal woman didn't find comfort in being with her descendants, her great, great, great, and so on, grandchildren. Instead, she chose to begin a new family. This aspect of the story is rather perplexing to me. It appears that she didn't prioritize her relationship with her grandchildren and instead opted to establish a new family of her own. It seems like she missed out on the opportunity to contribute to the upbringing and guidance of her own descendants.she just gave up on them and let their planet die.
Yeah I was thinking the same, maybe it’s a curse and they only ever last to her being a grandma of that bloodline and they die tragically.
If that’s not the case, then I don’t understand why she didn’t accumulate knowledge and make a family clan or something, her family being keepers of knowledge or something like that.
I mean if you’ve lived that long you’re allowed to have more than one family 😂 also I think over time the concept of family become meaningless in the face of eternity. Like in a game you would want new experiences not the same old ones. At least I think.
@@keerthana7353 Personally that's not something that I feel that I would do. Family and legacy is very important to me and I'm not one to give up on people.
@@RED-sl2le The family clan being keepers of knowledge is a pretty interesting idea.
Not really surprising to me. Based on the bias evident in the story, this is less about how most people would behave and more about how a coastal millennial who hates their Midwestern family would behave. It's self-centered, not family or community-centered.
ermm okay but why did she die? clearly she was not immortal but just had a really long lifetime? clickbait moment

It was the new planet I say
She was immortal on earth, but the new planet began to age her.
To me, it seemed that Earth dying is what did it.
@@Wowreference She shoulda worn a S suit on earth
Maybe because of the atmosphere or something with the planet that causes her to be mortal again...but i guess it is a blessing, it's like going to sleep after a very long day of work
This was gorgeous story telling. I am in awe that her investments remained untampered and still accumulated wealth as world governments kept changing. What a lovely fictional world.
Also that people were still wanting to go to work and build her ship despite getting a UBI for doing nothing. Yea, such a great world to live in.
Well, Highlander did it!😉
Glad to see some realists.
@@matiyeva UBI wouldn't end work, just change people's reasons for doing it.
Pretty unrealistic but neat story. I mean you’d think she’d consider taking it up herself to research immortality for comfort? Actually start a legacy with her family instead of making new ones.
Thumbnail definitely had me thinking this would be a "three hundred trillion years after the heat death of the universe" kind of immortality video
None can avoid death. To live is to die; they are one in the same. Death is somewhat a gift, and so is life. It helps us to appreciate the very moment we are currently living, and drives people in finding a reason to keep on fightin' and movin' on. Only then can the soul truly be satisfied, and possibly face death fair and square when the time eventually comes. Nevertheless, I must say this is indeed an intruiging video. Visualising a life of an immortal is such a complicating, yet fascinating work.
How about immortality without fame or a great job. You are 40 and still look 20, none believe your age. Age 100, you are falsely arrested for stealing someone's identity. 110, you've served your sentence. Age 150, you stay on the down low, avoiding social areas. Age 300, you've gotten good at getting cheap jobs, never sticking around any place too long. Through your life, people are a blur, it's often that someone thinks you look familiar. You've stopped keeping track of time, a positive outlook on circumstances masks the bad luck that seems to follow you. Age unknown, you are a pariah, but optimistic about the future, the world seems to be falling apart, but you only see it as another act in an eternal waltz.
Woy
I take it from comic
Thx for idea)
Always a pleasure.
You forget the part when government kidnaps you to discover your secret for Immortality and you remain in an underground lab for decades.
Cool take. We need more stuff like this out there whether its stories, art, videos etc bc we constantly say that the greatest thing is achieving a lot. I think the greatest thing is actually finding peace and tranquility no matter what life throws at you 🙏
I like your story better
For anyone who is curious:
The planet that could be habitable which is 4.7 light years away is called Proxima Centauri B.
Yes I am a big space nerd.
edit: each like = one bucket of popcorn so now i have to give out 277- i only posted this 2 days ago chill i dont have that much popcorn
Yeah I knew that too
Thank you!!
Also fun fact: Proxima Centauri B orbits a red dwarf which means that if there were plants on it, they would have most likely evolved to have a grey pigment instead of the green ones like on Earth. The daytime would also be vastly darker than on Earth's and skin cancer would be way less common as Proxima Centauri produces way less Ultra Violet Light than our sun. Seasons would be extremely fast or most likely be nonexistent since its orbital period is only about 11 Earth days. On second thought, this doesn't sound like a planet I want to live on. I would have perpetual depression from all of the muted colors.
I also knew that (by astrokobi)

"Immortal"
Doesn't even live as long as some trees. Humans are just so incapable of understanding the true length of time that we can't even write about it.
for our short lifespans and rapidly changing society a few hundreds really do mean a lot for a single person to live
I’d be so interested in the real life advice you give your friends and self, you’re so observant
I love this. She probably would have lived forever on earth, like even beyond whatever catastrophic event that caused communications to go dark. But the conditions of the new planet were causing her to decay. Immortals should travel the cosmos. That makes so much sense.
I think her Immortality was a curse which She make her die cause She create something beautiful and the curse gone let her die
Ever heard of immortal jellyfish? No jellyfish would brag themselves that immortality is a curse. They are just there living their lives in the ocean forever and be content with their existence. No one knows how old are they.
Yeah, i know those jellyfish.
They can live Forever
Why is nobody talking about how absolutely amazing this story is? This is like, movie quality, triple A quality levels of storytelling. I would love to see this as a movie/anime/game. The concept of someone living out their life as the only immortal on earth is something that hardly nobody has done before. Spectacular story, had me thrilled on the ride all the way through. ❤️
maybe because the story in itself is not good as it is an idealised version of a live. that is realistically speaking even stranger than the gimick of imortallity
Wouldn't it be nicer if nobody has to be immortal alone? What kind of story would that be? Like at age 500, she and her childhood friends who are also immortal decided to go to another solar system whatever. I want to know how her descendants are doing too and are also following immortality as well. Younger generations would be pleased to meet their greatest living ancestor/s still alive. I'm sure they would support her who are generations away from her. They would establish a generational family business to support their immortal ancestor.
@@MyFirstHandle that would be nicer since there iis no exsistencel crisis & no lab rat hunt thus several aspects of the live of our idealised mc would be more belivable

Why? 3.5% of people that watched this video upvoted it. Maybe because most people see it as the Marxist garbage propaganda pipe-dream that it is.
Holy shit, this made me rethink everything-
It's a blessing and a curse to outlive everyone you come to love. From what I seen it's very lonely living to 100+
There are creatures which are biologically immortal. Certain types of jellyfish for example have perfect cell regeneration which in effect means they will not die of old age. However-and this is the important part- immortality by itself means very little because it does not also mean invulnerability. So an immortal would not be 'cursed to live forever". They could easily end their own life or be killed in any number of ways, the only way they would not die is of old age. Huge difference there.
Immortal Jellyfish don't complain of being immortal.
@@MyFirstHandle How would you know, exactly? To my knowledge, jellyfish do not speak any sort of language (or at least not one that humans can understand).
@@MyFirstHandlebro of course not they don’t have a brain or any thoughts. It’s a clump of cells lol

Humanity is predicting its own future in a million ways to the point that we don't know what but some how we are.
Lost Odyssey had this theme and it's a great game with stories about the immortals that left many people from their eternal lifes behind.
Suprised she didnt go into the medical field to discover what made her immortal. If she discovered the secret she could share it with her loved ones.
Without other immortals imortality is the most horrible curse there is. Its simply a lonely life.
I'm surprised she didn't use her money to save the planet from climate crisis
People are different, for me immortality is cool, because death is more scary, you become nothing. Imagine that you are an artificial intelligence.
