A lot of it is genetics. I smoked for 40 years and now have emphysema, not on oxygen but bad enough. Turns out I'm missing one of the genes needed for the production of alpha-1 antitrypsin which helps protect the lungs from damage. Fortunately once I stopped smoking (12 years now) the damage also stopped, plus there was improvement. I'm 67 now and you can bet your ass I'll never see 100.

[@OnideusMadHatter]

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".

[@kennethluedtkejr1903]

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. Turritopsis dohrnii The 'immortal' jellyfish, Turritopsis dohrnii To date, there's only one species that has been called 'biologically immortal': the jellyfish Turritopsis dohrnii.

3:15 False. The oldest living animal(s) are sea sponges, specifically glass sponges. *Yes, sponges are animals*, and they can live for thousands of years, potentially up to 15,000--that's older than human civilization. This is brought up later in the video at around 7 minutes in, but I think it really does need to be noted that these sponges knock Jonathan and Adwaita right off their pedestals as "oldest living animals". Even if we were to narrow it down to "oldest living vertebrate", which would exclude sponges, giant tortoises are still beat out by Greenland sharks. One individual examined in 2016 was estimated to be around 400 years old at the time of her death.

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! 🥰💖

The center had long since died, but it was estimated to be eleventy centuries old. Yes, eleven followed by three aughts.

Hey Joe Could you do a video about the mysterious “cleaning events” that allegedly take place on mars . They’re like a windstorm that perfectly clean the rover ... or it’s a conspiracy and there are alien astronauts on mars .

[@phantomwalker8251]

work it out,,you drive your car for 6 months,its filthy,,no amount of rain or wind will clean it. its called static electricity,clingy....yes,it gets cleaned & maintained. it had a life of what,9 months,.its now what,10 yrs.20.? mars has atmosphere,water,air,.it has radio active nuked soil. yes,there was life,like human life,alien,that was nuked,long time ago..our moon,is from another galaxy. it was put around earth to give us a calmer orbit & seasons..it should not mathematically,be there..its too big,& we are too small.nasa lies..

Why would Mars 2020 collect samples for a later human mission to recover, when those humans can collect 100 times more samples in 1000 less time themselves?

[@glenc661]

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).

Come on, Joe. You of all people should know that taking vitamins doesn't do you any good unless you have a distinct deficiency.

[@metamorphicorder]

Baxter it would deffinitely keep you from developing such a deficiency. Assuming of course the deficiency is caused by lack of dietary intake.

[@SemesaSnG]

That's some fairly backwards logic there. Like saying "You should take this medication just in case you someday might've developed this disease it treats"

[@metamorphicorder]

@@SemesaSnG no. Its not like that generally speaking. There are some medicines that you can take to prevent sicknesses. Quinine for instance. Vaccines for another. It all depends on your level of knowledge of your risk level. Beri beri disorders are a deficiency disease. Its alot easier to avoid than to treat. If you know that your diet is or will be deficient in a certain vitamin for whatever reason, you can take that vitamin to avoid a deficiency disorder. Additionally if you have a lifestyle that is enhanced or requires a higher than average intake of a certain vitamin, then supplementation either directly or through dietary modification. Generalized supplementation is not supported to be benneficial but also when reasonably done, not deleterious either.
