    122 is just insane. Imagine someone born in 1980 might actually live to see the 22nd century. That means today they would be around 40 years old. Only a third of their life lived. Yet, when I was a kid I thought 40 was ancient...

    If it hasn't been stated already, they found a clam a few years ago that was about 450 years old, making it the oldest living animal at the time, because I'm certain someone has already eaten it by now. And then there's the jellyfish. Some species are believed to be essentially immortal.

      @OnideusMadHatter 5 лет назад +6

      There is no oldest thing. Temporal perception is an illusion. State changes are governed by energy conversion/transference. This is why "time" seems to "slow down" near a black hole... it's because the gravity becomes so strong that "normal" energy movement is slowed down. The slower energy moves, the slower "time" seems to go.
      As energy moves, time is given meaning, a metric, but energy movement is variable and that variability is controlled by gravity. Without any form of gravity the speed of energy becomes infinite which in turn creates matter and that in turn creates gravity. The greater the density of matter, the greater the gravity and the slower energy moves.
      So you could think of matter as being hyper-accelerated energy which in turn gives off slow moving energy waves that create gravity.
      Matter > Energy < Gravity
      Speed up energy, you get matter, slow energy down, you get gravity.
      There is no "time".

      Besides Time doesn't exist it is nothing more then humans creating a way to put our event's in a chronological order we are not Born aware of time. It's taught to us. We are taught to tell time along with the numbers 1-12
      We put much into teaching our young to be able to tell time by electricity or the movement of the Sun but Man invented Time so we could measure stuff and file stuff away.

    My favourite story of scientists clusterfucking. Is the story of The New Zealand free botanists looking for a very rare tree/shrub. They arrived in a cut off valley, that had last been explored early last century, that resulted in the original description of the plant. They arrived in the valley set up camp and started exploring for this flora, two weeks later, no luck. The started breaking camp, and as they took down one of the tents, they found they'd pitched it on three seedlings of the tree/shrub!

    In July 1974, a study of the growth rings of one of the koi's scales reported that Hanako was 226 years old. She is, to date, the longest-lived koi fish ever recorded. there is also a breed of jelly fish that can't die it just goes back to it's infant state then starts over. so technically it's the oldest.

    The 'immortal' jellyfish, Turritopsis dohrnii
    To date, there's only one species that has been called 'biologically immortal': the jellyfish Turritopsis dohrnii. These small, transparent animals hang out in oceans around the world and can turn back time by reverting to an earlier stage of their life cycle.

    Having just listened to your video, "On losing a pet", I wanted to mention that I have lost several pets within the last 5 or 6 years, so I understand your grief. Three dogs have passed. My pomeranian died recently at 11 1/2 years very quickly, within a week after she got sick. She was a traumatized rescue who couldn't bark, whom I had for 5 years. Before I had her, I had a cocker/springer mix, Robbie, as a puppy, who didn't quite make to 5 years, before he developed a ruptured disc in his spine and quickly became paralyzed from his middle down and couldn't walk but was screaming in pain. I had several friends help me carry him to the vet to put him down. I cried for 3 days, because he was so young. Before Robbie, I had Cody, a Bichon Frise who I also got as a puppy. He died in my arms when he was 11 years old. Now, I have a calico cat, Mitzy, who is about 8 years old and appears to be healthy and happy and very loving, on her terms! However, she was declawed before I got her about a year and a half ago. Thank you for being the funny and sensitive and cool person that you are! Unlike you, I am divorced and living alone. Dogs and cats give me great joy and are necessary to my life as an older person to help me live my life. Even as a senior with no other family, except a few cousins living in other parts of the country, pets give me the unconditional love I need and never had as a child or when I was married! 🥰💖

      Pretty much anything can give you cancer. It's the dose that matters. That why I said 'moderation'. In lower doses, nicotine is used as medicine in modern pharmacology, often to treat brain diseases. And many international studies show numerous health benefits for smokers, even respiratory benefits. But we tend to focus on the masses of abusers who over consume stuff until it kills them. Food is the number one killer in my country as most are obese, overdosing on food everyday. Yet, we obviously don't label food as all bad.

    • @glenc661
      @glenc661 6 лет назад +1

      the more stuff we do on mars the greater the likelyhood that we will contaminate it somehow. The idea is that the earlier we get samples less chance they will be contaminated. I'm not convinced that we need to go to extraordinary efforts to protect from contamination, reasonable yes .. i think we should try reasonable levels of care until we can get a bunch of samples... but hurry up and get them.
      Either life developed independantly from earth in which case it won't have dna (recognizable as earthly) or there has been cross contamination or even less likely panspermia (however you spell that lol). my guess is that creation of life is quite difficult (or scientists would of done it by now). it is possible that it will be relatively simple but i would imagine that scientists have thought of most of the simple ways to create it and tried them out. If creating life is difficult would it not also stand to reason that life developing dna would also be difficult so the chance of independantly developing life and it having dna close enough to confuse it with earths has to be infinitismal to the point of zero.
      Comman sense says that life converts energy to survive. So life having enough energy to survive the necessary millions of years it would take to accidently travel from star to star would also seem to me extremely unlikely but I could give credance tot he posiblility of it surviving up to a few thousand years a journey between planets might take.
      My thought is that we should get as many samples as early as possible. like i said before do a reasonable amount of effort to keep the martian environment as sterile (of earthly contamination) as reasonably possible. BUT NOT let those concerns prevent or slow other equally important priorities in other avenues (science, resource gathering, possibly settlement.
      A final thought.. in the end i think that life is more valuable then non life, that more complex life is more valuable then less complex life. Therefore whatever we do to spread and diversify life in the universe is "good" whereas slowing or impeding that spread is by definition "bad". I don't think I have totally made these rules up but were given to us by the universe and i think that humanity should try to win that game (course with luck we may have to change the definition of humanity, ai, alien intelligent species).
