Wow that sucks. But anyone still alive from the 1700s?

I'm going to risk it and say no

i might need a source for that amigo.

Hey Vsauce, Moudiz here; There are no longer anyone alive from the 1700. (Source: KNALEGE)

what about dogs from 1900's?

You mean turtles

i dont think he meant turtles, it would be hard to mix those two animals..

Dang. I had actually been keeping up with the Wikipedia page for this every now and then, hoping she'd live to be like 125.

Even though centuries are artificial human creations, there's something about this that kinda feels like closure. RIP

A year is when the earth makes an entire solar revolution, so no, a century isn't 100% artificial

100 is totally artificial, we decided to count 10 by 10

And some decided to count in base 60. But that's not the question, number were invented to quantify things.

Yes but i just want to say that if we counted in like base 23, this event will not be as important

yes it would be. just because we'd quantify time differently, the same amount of it would have passed. her age would still be significant

Sounds like a challenge to live until the 2100s.

I feel like we have way better odds tho, not rly fair challenge

Only advances in healthcare make it easier to live longer. Urbanisation, globalisation, higher demand for output etc pose further difficulty

well I guess it depends on whether or not you wanna be optimistic about it, too many factors to know for sure
