    My Great Grandmother is 98 years old. She still smokes, survived cancer twice, only has one kidney, survived a gunshot wound to her liver, survived a tumble down the stairs at age 89, and attempts to work more despite the fact that my family wont let her. She worked in a canning factory for most of her life. She just won't die. Love you greatgrandma.

    I remember seeing a short interview of Jeanne Calment around the time of her death. If I remember correctly she said that as a child she had sold pencils to Vincent van Gogh.
    The interviewer asked her if she could tell us something about the artist. My hopes soared at the thought of hearing, first hand, something about such an intriguing man and revered artist. Her answer, "his breath was horrible".
    I've always wondered if my ensuing thoughts were the same as those of others.

    My grandfather lived till 108. Till his last days, he was walking on his own, reading books, writing, and, sadly, fending off court-battles against people who wanted to claim his land and properties. But he remained strong, clever and mobile. If it wasn't for the stress, I am sure he would have continued chugging on. I remember he would eat tea and biscuits mostly, and have a very small dinner.

She smoked strong cigarettes from early teens right up until the year she passed away, drank alcohol almost every day, (usually whiskey or stout beer) ate fried breakfasts and lunches, lots of red meat, sweetened tea, cakes, biscuits, loads of dairy. Never exercised. Rarely walked anywhere.
      She had a mild heart attack at 93 and went into hospital. The hospital wouldn't allow her any of her old vices, understandably I guess.
      She complained there was no point in living anymore and died two weeks later.

    People didn't die by age 40. They died by age 60 or 70. The only reason life expectancy was low was because so many people died young. But if you survive your first five years, you're good for the next sixty-five.

      @J.J. Shank Except for women, who often used to die in childbirth or by complications because of it, especially in their first childbirth, which was usually between 16-20 years old: that also brought down the average life expectancy for the middle ages.
      Plus many young men (20-35) dying in wars.

    • @PHeMoX
      @PHeMoX 5 лет назад +16

      No, they didn't. They think their research reveals how the sharks they've caught *might* be at least 272 years old up to 390 years old. However, there's a catch. Their dating method is vulnerable to some very serious contamination. I would be very cautious with taking the story of centuries old Greenland sharks for fact. Not saying it is impossible. Hydras and starfish are assumed to perhaps be capable of living forever, however we can very much determine their regenerative capabilities (in living specimens no less!), whereas we can't say remotely the same about the Greenland shark. Even worse, the Greenland shark according to similar studies is said to only become fertile _after 150 years_ . Well, I actually call total bullshit on any species being able to survive that type of fragility in terms of maintaining a healthy population. Especially when you know these sharks have been hunted. Yes, they're poisonous to eat for humans, but people found ways to prepare and eat the skin (Iceland). On top of that, the Greenland sharks have quite a few natural enemies. So no, sorry, I don't think it is likely the research adds up. Not saying the animals do not get very old (as in sea turtle old where rare exceptions can become 150 years old), but the idea that a shark population can survive with females becoming fertile after only 150 years is just outrageous to claim. It would result in a species so fragile in terms of reproduction, that it most likely wouldn't survive for long.

    My great grandmother was born in 1912, she lived until 104, received a letter from the queen when she got to 100 she could remember when German zeppelins bombed her in the First World War, and was in her 20's when ww2 started, I loved hearing stories from her and it was great to listen her for hours. I'm a huge history buff so it was great to hear pretty much the whole story of the 20th century from her, I think it's so interesting to hear from people who live until a long age, I'd love to be able to tell stories to future generations, I'm 23, but I guess I could tell stories about the Yugoslav, Iraq, Georgian, afghan wars, trump, brexit, the Syrian civil war, North Korea, collapse of Venezuela, and he'll the stories of my own great grandmother. It's amazing to hear history from firsthand accounts, and I hope one day I can tell teh stories my great grandmother told me, and the stories of world war 2 my grandad told me, the stories of the Cold War from my mother and father, Irish troubles from my step-grandfather and other important events from history, hell when I'm 60 I could tell stories of firsthand accounts from World War One, world war 2 and have photographs of my family back to the 1870s of my great grandmother's mother was only 21 years old, the photography paper is half an inch thick, family history and history in general is so important and I think too many people neglect it. I can remember being 4 years old sat on my grandads lap as he told me the history of Britain, things he saw himself like German bombs that didn't explode falling through his roof in ww2, the fact he was the only man who went to work when the workers went on strike under thatcher (he was a conservative who worked in the shipyards, was a draftsman, worked on battleships during ww2, and even helped design the front I think bow of the famous qe2) he also would teach me about the history of the country, English civil war, boer war, and loads he read about of heard about from his dad and older brothers. I hope one day I can tell his stories to my own children and grandchildren and the stories from my great grandmother, this is how history lives forever and it's beautiful.

    Reminds me of the guy in Indonesia who recently died at 150. He produced an old birth certificate from the 1860s with his name on it. He claimed to remember events that happened in the late 19th Century. He had outlived all ten of his wives and all of his children. And the guy did look ancient in pictures.
    He certainly was a very old man, probably in his 100s, but what could have happened is that the birth certificate was his father's and he was so old that he had confused memories of his father's with memories of his own.

      It's extremely doubtful he had an actual birth certificate as we think of nowadays. I've lived in Indonesia for ten years and there are tons of people who have the same birthday, namely December 31 because their births weren't officially recorded as they use midwives to this day. The idea of going to a hospital to have a baby is a relatively new concept here. You don't get an official identity number (known as a KTP) until your 17th birthday. The population is counted as heads of household and each nuclear family has a family card (Kartu Keluarga) registered under the name of the head of the family but those are usually made after the parents reckon they're done having children and as they don't remember when exactly the children were born (celebrating birthdays is also a somewhat new concept) they just use the December 31 date. This is very much the case in Bali as the date of conception plus 3 months is the date that is commemorated. I know one family with 8 members on their family card and 5 are listed as born on December 31.

      To formulate this 'hard': Ppl back then experienced their children to die. Dark times. And understood nowadays; hygiene and child mortality. Btw, the oldest human I heard of kinda is LaoTse.

You'd just never remain healthy enough to be able to triple the max life expectancy. And yes, cell revitalisation and growth in human beings is a finite thing. You'd need some seriously favourable genes to be able of becoming extremely old. Not to mention the vulnerability towards illness by the time you've reached 40 or 50 years of age back then. So nope, I call total Bs.

      He told meany stories of horrible sleepless hungry nights and how in one instance all he and his little sister had to resort to eating( the only food in the house) was flour he added somw water to...Parents feed your children wisely amd well...he was a sickly and illness plagued adult and recently passed away 2 years ago after being wheelchair bound and suffering degenerative nerve disease and being thin and non robust our whole 39 years of marriage.He finally began to gain some health after our marriage but the damage was done to his system early on.

      Actually the main reason that life expectancy was brought down was infant mortality. As many as 15% of children died before age 1 back then. If you lived past 12 you were pretty safe to live unless you got a disease or gave birth. 50 wasn’t considered that old. Your still be working at 50.

      Actually, I dare say the death of his wife had a *much* bigger impact. On top of that he has been pretty much blind for years before he died and not quite in a super healthy condition. Yes, he got very old, but healthy maybe not so much. Then there's also the rumours of Stan Lee being abused by family. Not quite the happy life you'd assume it to be. So again, I think Stan Lee didn't want to live on as much as he used to when his wife was still alive (she died a year before he did).

      The huge gravitational field of a black hole slows down time for you relative to people not near the field. It's called "time dilation." Gravity of any kind slows down time for an observer, which is why clocks on earth tick miilliseconds slower than clocks on satellites and the difference has to be adjusted for in order to get accurate GPS readings.
      In the movie Interstellar the crew of a spaceship get stranded on a planet orbiting a black hole for a few hours and 23 years pass for the man on the ship orbiting the planet. A physicist hired for the film calculated it would be that long, depending on how powerful the black hole is.

    "Fun" fact: The whole "people rarely lived past 40 before the 20th century" notion is not really correct. The *average* life expectancy was so low before that time because infant mortality was much higher. Having lots of babies die at or shortly after birth brought the *AVERAGE* down much, much lower, to the middle age mark. People regularly lived to old age back then... provided they survived being born and their subsequent infancy, of course. Lower survival rates due to infection and disease were certainly an additive factor, but not as much as that "40 years" figure otherwise suggests.

    "the way we retire .. is shortening our lifespans" I would like to beat you with this words. Come to germany, where they regularly raise the age to retire, i am sure you will life waaaay longer (careful, there might be sarcasm). The problem is not the retiring but the fact that the system beats out every hint of "thinking for themselves" and then they don't know what to do. I am sure you for example will life above average, because your work is to do what you love.
