    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.

    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!

      @OnideusMadHatter 5 років тому +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.

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.

    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! 🥰💖

As always thank you for researching and putting complex subject matter in a way that is educational and entertaining at the same time. I hope that everything is going well with your UA-cam channel and you continue making more of them because I am smarter every time I watch them and for that I cannot say thank you enough.
