- 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.
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.

I'm just impressed that she managed to live 350 years before getting depressed.
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".
@@Dawa_LOL what.
The story could have gone down a much darker route if her spaceship malfunctioned and she was left stranded and perpetually suffocating for 400 years in outer space.

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'm terminally ill. It feels odd thinking of the things that will happen long after I'm dead. I'm 57 years old. I would have liked to see what's going to happen next in advancement and science and exploration. I'll leave that adventure to you guys. Good luck.
Then again you may be spared of witnessing the horrors that those “advancements” may bring on to the living things on this earth.

@Cataclysmicrosehes just a ball of meat, like me and you.
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
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.

If I was immortal. I might, as well procastinate as I outlived everyone might as well be suicidal.
I think the most annoying part and upsetting part of being immortal would be seeing everything pass by, having all the things you love slowly fade away. Like Imagine you really love Disney parks or have a favourite UA-camr, you'll live forever but those parks and people will eventually stop and that'll suck
It depends. I would grieve the family and friends I've lost along the way. But, I'd constantly take up new hobbies, interests, styles, and such. I think the main gripe would be the celebrity status and being unable to REALLY connect with the people that look your age. I can make new friends easily, but at some point.. Finding romance with anyone feels like grooming.
I wouldn't mind trying different social circles to really spice up life. Parties, gaming groups, college clubs, etc. But everyone would know you're really some elder disguised as the rest of them.
After a while, things would be superficial. I'd probably just become a recluse and game under an alias to be treated like normal again.
Like how irreversibly devastating it is when your favorite band breaks up /s
This happens anyway though. It's happening to me and I'm not even middle aged yet. I've had to accept I'll watch my loved ones die and the world change and that's just how it works.
That wouldn't really be upsetting, as a normal lifespan is more than enough for us to get accustomed to good things coming & going. I'm only 42 years old and I can already name things are now a thing of the past -- Blockbuster video stores, the novelty of the early years of video gaming (NES, SNES, N64), shopping malls being the hangout for teens, etc. Even as recently as 5 years ago, I experienced a period of "good times" with a group of mountain biking friends -- we went on camping trips, explored new trail systems, competed in races together, etc.. but about 3 years ago, we started to drift apart. Slowly, what started as a group of about 8 of us dwindled to just me - fewer and fewer of them came to races, met at our local trails on Fridays or Saturdays to group ride, etc. I was a fun time for me -- I met a lot of new people, made new acquaintances, and learned a lot about my own strengths and weaknesses. But like all phases in our lives, it came and went.
Nothing good lasts forever, and any human (immortal or not) would be naive to think otherwise.
"Having a favorite UA-camr" really shows your young age. I'm old enough to remember when UA-cam was new - 480p max resolution (4:3 aspect ratio, mind you), and 5 minute max length videos. At the time, YT did not show ads. I was there before internet, before streaming, etc. A "favorite UA-camr" is not something comparable to Disney parks. The latter has been around for nearly 50 years. The former is a content creator craze that started about 15 years ago.
Besides, most "UA-camrs" seldom enjoy stardom for longer than 5 years. Out of the HUNDREDS on the platform today, only 20 are so have been there since the beginning, and for every one that leaves, a hundred hop on the platform with dreams of stardom themselves.
I could understand slowly seeing your friends and family fade away being troublesome, but humans are not without the capacity to cope with loss & move on, or the ability to make new friends. The biggest issue though is that anyone 20 years or younger than you is going to seem like a "kid" to you - both mentally and physically.
That said, I'm still willing to take my chances. Give me immortality any day of the week. I'd rather take my chances with what's to come than slip into non-existence and be forgotten by the world.
At 44, the simple things like the companies changing the recipe of a certain candy you enjoyed from childhood over the years. Seeing timeless celebrities actually die. And at first it was a rare thing, but now I see a good handful of them die every year. I could go on.
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?
@@idkwhatimdoing-q1l 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.
The concept of immortality is so beyond human perception, that even in this story the immortal is eventually mortal.

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!
For anyone interested, this is the exact premise of the movie "The Man from Earth" in which a young university professor admits to his friends and colleagues that he is in fact about 10 000 years old and cannot age. He needs to relocate and start a new life every 10 years or so in order not to be discovered for what he is. The dark ages and the inquisition taught him that. They get upset and angry and think their friend has gone mad, till they start doubting there could be any other explanation for the knowledge he poseses. They just sit around the fireplace talking about his life throughout the movie. One of my favorites of all time.
He was Jesus. Good movie
I think her immortality reflect how many humans are alive. Once the last human die, her immortality was stripped away, allowing her to age.
U should be a director

The error of this story reminds me of when Reed Richards (Mr Fantastic) was talking about super-powers, and said as soon as the first super-powered person appeared, it became a almost statistical certainty that more would appear.
As soon as this woman became immortal, it is a statistical certainty that more people would be born immortal.
I was sad none of her kids were - that she invested in technology, but not like cloning
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.

@@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!!
I feel like this presumes a lot of "worst case scenarios" that are all too abundant in modern sci-fi.
As an immortal myself, I've come to enjoy life on repeat over the past seven thousand years. The constant innovations of mankind has never ceased to amaze me, and my descendents have been a constant source of pride, intrigue, and wonder. I live among them now, acting as a bridge between the various cultures they are a part of, always there to settle disputes when they arise, offering funding for higher education or assistance with financial hardship.
Immortality, for those who learn to use it well, is no curse. It never has been. There are those for whom it feels as such, but that is because they refuse to engage in the brilliant life around them. They see themselves as watchers of eternity, refusing to actually be a part of life.
Big fan of your work, Merlin. Is Arthur coming back any time soon?
@@emberGlyph Always an honor to meet a fan! No, the time for the return of the Once and Future King is not yet at hand. Though it may seem so, the present is not so dark. There are still so many willing to step in and lend a hand to those in need, to fight for others rather than with them. Hope ever burns, like an undying glyph of ember, in the hearts of mankind.
His name and where he is from translate to “green dress”. He was given powers to be a hero for the people. Who is he?
Thanks Merlin. You still in contact with Arthur? Also, which interpretation of you and your adventures with him are true? I really didn’t like the Green Knight 2021. I’m assuming the classic stories are the most historically accurate
@@yosemiteyosemi488 Such interesting questions!
Arthur sleeps even now, awaiting the day when he is needed most to return.
I do check on him from time to time to make sure he's ok. He dreams of the days when Camelot was in it's glory, when he was a king and servant to his people. But mostly he dreams of his one true love, Guinevere.
As for the various retellings of my life? Hmm. Many contain an inkling of truth, and while 'tis true that the older writings have more accuracy, I gave an interview several decades ago to a young man who came searching for me. A hint for you: "For truths, like trees, for ages grow, yet each begins a seed."

this truly is an intriguing concept , to live forever, not what you expected is it? a quote”Immortality isn't a blessing - it's a curse. It is the fleeting nature of life that makes it special. It's like the seasons. If there were only Summer, it would lose its glow and you would pine for the cold”
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
“Immortality isn’t living forever. It’s everyone else dying.”

It's the same thing😂
Dying is an ability
Yeah but what if everyone was like her?
i wish you could choose when to die instead of immortality
"a life this long is a battlefield just like this one but it's empty because everyone else has fallen "
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
Wow, perfectly 12 minutes 12:00. What a coincidence.
Definitely planned
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

@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.
@@doomsdayrabbit4398voldemort
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

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.

@@galenjones9529That doesn’t actually make more sense than just being indestructible since either way you’ve thrown anything even remotely close to the laws of physics out the window.
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.
@@jenny2channel 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
@@DoofenshmirtzsInators That is still entirely mindset based and subjective.
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.
@@legalmel that isn't how it works
That’s what I was thinking
I wouldn't mind living forever as long as I'm me
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.
@@darnit1944 eh i don't find that that bad or annoying, i mean depends on the situation, it can be very annoying and frustrateing. But I do think i get what you mean now after re-reading the first comment more carefully.
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.
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”
"Immortal" "Dies at 700"
lol she was immortal only on earth. plus you cant even imagine how living 700 years must be. the average person dies at 70.
@nightwatchhh bs immortality then, and 700 years is nothing compared to literally anything else in the Universe
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.
I just skipped that part
Best part
i think they recorded two people dancing and then just drew over the clip haha
I remember an article back in the 1990s about this. You don’t age. You can’t die from illness. But you can die from accidents, wars, car or plane crashes… you get the idea. The average person would live around 2000 years and the oldest would only last around 15,000 years before the odds of what could kill you would happen to you.
Depends on your location
The girl in the video tried to commit suicide but it did not work
Disease it kills most health problems #1
God only can decide when you die
Like maybe there's a possibility that i can even die once i send this comment
There's a good sci-fi novel about this, "the boat of a million years".
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 🤣
A man would keep his imortal identity secret like the Highlander and learn how to enjoy the gift instead of being depressed.
you still can't avoid the feeling.
@nightwatchhh the feeling would be worse if you were under a social microscope
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?
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,
@@FollowMe4REP What have humans done to every other planet? We haven't even done anything to the moon, which is the only celestial body that we have been to.
@@janielsewell6668 Didn't we leave shit on the moon? And stabbed a flag into it. Also China said they have plans.
Could be it.
So the message is we need to raise the age limit to 600 years and the world will be okay
700*
798
1 trillion
Well... basically, if humans live long enough to reap the fruits of their deeds, than maybe they would be more careful ;D
Definitely increases the need for term limits in government.
Reality: when she's 60 but looks 20, government scientists capture her and spend decades being experimented on and eventually dissected to understand the source of her immortality
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.
Honestly, when clicking this video, I never would've imagined that I was going to watch this beautiful masterpiece. Thank you, this is truly a work of art!
Best wishes,
A random person on the internet
😮
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...

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.
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
>hardly nobody

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.
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.
@@The_Haeven_Walker There will be no "next" big bang and even if there was there would be no earth.
She is only immortal on earth
Seriously, I’ve come back to this video many times. It’s such a beautiful story and animation!
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.
Seeing how her teenage life is I feel like I'm missing out

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)
@@bumbo222 lol i was thinking of putting that and i was like "nahhhh too much info" ty for doingit for me
True immortality would be horrible. I once read a short story about a man who was immortal and, because he had been sickly and weak when he was younger, was very happy. He went through phases of good and bad, being both the hero and the villain several times over. Eventually, he reshaped the world to be peaceful and harmonious and all was well...until a rogue planet smashed the Earth to gravel and he was left all alone, floating in space for eternity. THAT'S the horror of true immortality.
What’s the story called?
I am also intrigued as to the title of the story.
cmon now for eternity? something MUST have happened, maybe earth got recreated on another planet or he found a new one.
Humanity is predicting its own future in a million ways to the point that we don't know what but some how we are.
This is so sad. Death is a massive part of life. To have that denied you would be hell on Earth. Noone wants to live forever..
lol as human you can NEVER live longer than 100 years. the average person dies at 70.

Okay, AI wrote this. A spacecraft for one isn't going to wipe out all life on a planet, oh, and then she suddenly becomes mortal at the end.

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
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.

As an immortal I'd like to point out a few misconceptions in this video...
First - You tend to forget things your learned after about 200 - 300 years unless they are essential memories that you actively 'maintain' to not forget. So you basically have to 'relearn' skills you thought you mastered before (It does get easier due to better learning techniques)
Second - Compound interest is bullshit for us immortals! No bank or organization in their right mind would allow for an account, stock or equity to just sit there for hundreds of years of uninterrupted compound growth before asking all kinds of questions.
Third - There are broke as fk Immortals living among us! Look at the homeless person around the corner, they could be an immortal down on their luck just like any other normal person. (Just because they are an immortal doesn't mean they got their shiet together!)
Fourth - None of what I say in this post would be taken seriously anyway because convincing the scientific community there are immortals is impossible! They would find some bullshiet explanation to why this is happening and the whole thing would be dismissed outright.

This video was so immensely tragic and beautiful. The animation was amazing, and the story was heart breaking. Even with her long life, at the end she still felt like she didn’t have enough time. What’s more human than that? We’re always longing for something more, I suppose.

If this were made into a live action movie, it would win a lot of Academy Awards, and perhaps even a few BAFTA’s.
No it wouldn’t 😂
Ehhh, I doubt it would make it that far, unless maybe it were made into some kind of short similar to Love, Death, and Robots? There would have to be some damn good screenplay on their part, though. Great story, though. Maybe it was still rough in some edges, but it was really immersive, the mental imagery it induced.
I would 100% watch that. The only question is, would we do it in live-action or animation. Personally, I think it should be done in animation to truly be able to hook you with its style and for you to be able to project the emotions even more onto the character.

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.
