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!

Hey folks, it’s good to see you again.

I'm just impressed that she managed to live 350 years before getting depressed.

A quote from another corner of the web: "It's not immortality that most people want, but being able to choose when to die."

700 years is just a long life, not immortality. Think of a million year or billion year long life. That would be interesting philisophically.

@dartharaneus67

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.

@Aj-iy5po

The concept of immortality is so beyond human perception, that even in this story the immortal is eventually mortal.

@zewatcher9756

I think her immortality reflect how many humans are alive. Once the last human die, her immortality was stripped away, allowing her to age.

@URSOGORGEOUSSSS

Props to the immortal cameraman who filmed all of this.

@JordanBeagle

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

@ashershahzad2185

and then she woke up from her dream, and realized she was late to school.

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"

if I achieve immortality, pretty sure I am gonna spend the 1st 100-200 years procrastinating

@deshawncollins5706

A nice thought experiment but with an idealistic outcome. Realistically, she reaches age 150 and looking like 25, she gets "disappeared". She lives out the rest her existence "whatever that means" as a science experiment.

@ronxlii

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.

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.

@aldrindetablan4358

about 20 years ago a good friend of mine told me that he didnt want to be an immortal since you'd see everyone you cared about dying one by one.

@jodofe4879

And 700 years isn't even a speck on geological timescales, let alone the timeline of the universe. True immortality, living for billions of years until the end of time itself, would be one of the worst fates imaginable.

@genzo_-sensei5719

I'm impressed no one tried to kidnap her to find the secret behind her immortality. Such good people around her.

@papajaighh2605

I really appreciated this video because its like a "How To"Guide for Immortality. I was struggling with grasping my own immortality until this video! Thank you!!
