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 knew a man that lived to be 99. He was in great health and lived on his own. His daughter found him dead one day in his home. He was dressed in his finest clothes, had his jacket and hat on and was sitting by the door. THAT'S the way I'd like to go.
Dontsay Moore now THATS a way to go. I want to die at the hands of my mortal enemy/lover with a dagger. I don’t have any mortal enemies or current lovers but one can dream.
Sadly for me, I'll probably be found dead slumped in my stained up recliner in my tee shirt and sweats with a half eaten SteakOut and a Coors Light next to my blood pressure and heart medication.
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.
Many people claim to have relatives who were over 100. I heard such things by a relative in my own family. But this is rare and most such stories are just family superstitions.
moltenbullet He was a great old man obviously. My gran lived until she was 93. 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.
Was gonna say the same thing. Don't you know? Whenever someone repeats that inaccurate statistic, a history buff somewhere in the world receives an electric shock.
@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. But, if you got to 45, you were probably relatively likely to make it to 65 or so, maybe more.
Didn’t they just discover a shark species near Greenland that can live up to 600 years? That means a shark today could have watched the pilgrims crossing the Atlantic.
@@deavman actually, there have been either no or very scarce records of greenland sharks interaction with humans vis-a-vis eating them. And considering we havent actually seen them hunt, and that they are blind, you can draw your own conclusions, but I doubt that the greenland shark ever actually ate a human
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.
Imagine living up to being 152 years old and not even dying of old age... Edit: okay, jeez, I didn’t mean to cause these discussions in my comment section you guys are right it’s not really ‘old age’ it’s ‘natural causes’ but old age just come to my head because not even the healthiest of people live forever...
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.
Exactly! If I can be mobile, fit, healthy and mentally fit as well - it would be absolutely great to live a 150 years. Yeah, yeah, many of my loved ones will be dead, yada yada, but who cares. I got to see their entire lives and share it with them. In my 100's, I'll be enjoying good food and enjoying all the languages I've learned by interacting with other oldies on the internet and by reading books and watching movies. I'll probably be painting too, just as a hobby. Hopefully enjoy spending with my healthy kids and grandchildren, too. Would be fun times.
David McKee - Married men live longer than single men, but single women live longer than married women. Not to mention that the majority of women who are murdered are killed by a male partner, and the most dangerous place for a woman (the place she is most likely to be killed) is in her own home at the hands of a male partner. Just saying, it's clear the effect men have womens' life expectancy.
"If you want to live a good long life... For god's sake, whatever you do, don't go to London." Me, born, raised and living in London: *Well I guess I'll just die then.*
The thing is, back then people died at about 40 years old, so imagine your kid dies of natural causes while you are there, living your best life, to then die about ten years later and it isn‘t even of old age.
@TheUnicorn Imagine your proposal/thought to my logic. Becoming parents at 20, {dying at 40}, seeing your grand-childs around 40, another generation at around 60. Another later again. What you are asking is, how would it ' ve felt to lose children. You do not give us anything to breathe; and yes we know you are hating whilst maybe ignoring two or three generations... Well served, and sort of some neglecting. Life felt different back 'then'. Times/ time is 'hard' to grasp. ( - : 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. Enjoy, pls do not hate. Ppl back then became old as well! Post scr.: Becoming around 100 means burying mutliple generations imho.
Udo F Fritzen I didn‘t mean that he‘d be sad, I just imagine it being weird that your child dies of old age before you even do. (It could happen tho, if you get a kid at like 20, but I mean, how often does that happen?)
@@theunicorn1167 This is incorrect, this assumption is born by people not understanding average life expectancy statistics. Infant mortality rates were very high back then, this high infant mortality rate offset the ages of the older people by a large margin. If you exclude mortality below the age of 15, average life expectancy was more in the early 80s
That's exactly why it's a bullshit story. And it's not just about living itself. It's about the conditions of life, the diet and all that of those times. 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.
My greatest sadness(being 59 and in the great shape physically& mentallyof a 20 year old) is that I will be that 112 yeat old lady in a nursing home in front of my 112th birthhday cake, but gone long past are everyone I ever knew and loved...Im continuing to add to my cat collection ...lol.Seriously though, I am totally convinced that having regular, fresh nutritious balanced food from birth to post adolescence is the key.Building up the new and growing body at a highly advantageous level sets the stage for health and physical excellence throughout the rest of your lifespan.I grew up in Greece and had access to the greatest fruits/ veggies and limited junk foods- no fast foods at all.My mother always made quality meals and I lnow it has benefitted my life.My husband grew up in Fla..in a single parent home with 9 siblings 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.
@@PHeMoX Despite what academia scientist say, humans have been proven to live much, much longer earlier in our history. I think an Egyptian Pharaoh lived over 600 years old. Its really not that surprising that someone back then lived to 150. Nowadays it unheard of in western society yet in East Asia its common knowledge that there are people that live way older than 200 years.
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).

"He ate a high fat low carb diet " meanwhile in Okinawa they eat basically all carbs and consistently live to over 100.

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.

My grandparents who had nearly every type of cancer, had several ruptured aneurysms that they shouldn’t have been statically able to survive, and several injuries that they also shouldn’t have been able to survive, lived into their late 80’s. And I honestly think that the fact that they were polish and ate so much sauerkraut it was essentially it’s own food group to them, had a lot to do with it! 😂
"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.
It really depended on where you lived... I know here in America, the early settlers could make it into their eighties, and the last Plymouth pilgrim died at Plymouth in 1699, a solid 80 years after its settlement. Those in London, Paris, etc, I imagine, lived sorter lives, because the environment wasn’t as healthy.
+JGC It mostly depended on genetics and social class. If you were rich, sometimes you could expect to live twice as long as your employees, for example. Even in cities, there were a lot of people who lived well into old age. But accidents and malnourishment scaled with population density at that time.

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.
Imagine living up to being 152 years old and not even dying of old age...
Edit: okay, jeez, I didn’t mean to cause these discussions in my comment section you guys are right it’s not really ‘old age’ it’s ‘natural causes’ but old age just come to my head because not even the healthiest of people live forever...

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.

Great story but why on earth did you have to type all of that for 43 people to like?
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.
valar it was actually only four wives, he outlived his ten siblings
@@justyarn9939 Was wondering that too
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.

@@theunicorn1167 This is incorrect, this assumption is born by people not understanding average life expectancy statistics.
Infant mortality rates were very high back then, this high infant mortality rate offset the ages of the older people by a large margin.
If you exclude mortality below the age of 15, average life expectancy was more in the early 80s
Imagine getting to the age of 59 which was considered an old man in that time, then going onto live an extra 93 years
That's exactly why it's a bullshit story. And it's not just about living itself. It's about the conditions of life, the diet and all that of those times. 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.

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.

7:48 That would explain why Stan Lee got to be 95 years old, he loved what he did and he never stopped working because he loved his work.
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).

If you want to live to 150 simply orbit near the event horizon of a black hole for a few seconds... simple!
No science, there.
Matthew Ray why
I will do it! FOR SCIENCE
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.

Unfortunately I relate.
"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.
ProgHead777 Even in classical antiquity people would live to old age. Plato, for example, lived to 80.
It really depended on where you lived... I know here in America, the early settlers could make it into their eighties, and the last Plymouth pilgrim died at Plymouth in 1699, a solid 80 years after its settlement. Those in London, Paris, etc, I imagine, lived sorter lives, because the environment wasn’t as healthy.
yeah, you'd think that scientists would have a minimum of factual rigor and not blindly believe common sayings without checking.
+JGC It mostly depended on genetics and social class. If you were rich, sometimes you could expect to live twice as long as your employees, for example. Even in cities, there were a lot of people who lived well into old age. But accidents and malnourishment scaled with population density at that time.
