Leaving On Halley's Comet

[Nguyenzander]

Michael can’t die, not even Halley’s Comet can come close to hurting him

if we destroy the comet we can save vsauce

“if Michael dies, the fabric of reality just implodes suddenly”

“It’s just a rock that says hello and leaves enough for a life to happen” that is just so beautiful.

[tblicher]

Ahh yes. The famous back and forth motion Halley's comet makes when passing earth penetrating space 0:20

[mattkuhn]

Level 1: Knowing that Halley's comet is a rock.
Level 2: Knowing that comets are actually balls of ice and dust, not really rock.
Level 3: Knowing that ice is a rock.

Michael just confirming that he's immortal

If Michael is 38 right now, in 2061 he'll be 75, meaning he should survive some four more returns of the comet

[Nitrinoxus]

It says hello, and then leaves long enough for a life to happen...

Sounds like _family, _ really.

[Mynameisninoo]

This is so beautiful, a comet that passes by in just enough time to where anyone who lives a full life can see. Pointing out the undertones of the fact that some people don’t live full lives, but still highlighting the beauty of life.

A great-grand mother of mine was born in 1896 and saw it twice (1910 and 1985). She saw a lot of things changing in humanity and went from riding a horse back to her origin town to flying on a plane to visit some family. Truly remarkable to see all that and many many more things.

VSauce being born on the night of the comet makes a lot of sense. He actually came out of it.

[scarletbard]

Michael's had a video about this before, but I believe he's functionally immortal.


Not physically, but I don't think he'll be forgotten. His work has touched and inspired so many people, I can't imagine a future without someone remembering his name.

[cygnus-nktz]

I was totally expecting him to say "it won't because I am an immortal god"

[Staralium]

The comet comes back to Michael, *Always*

[irExron]

On that day. The Fire Nation shall RISE AGAIN!

[smilemations]

michael is an alien born on halley’s comet and came down to earth

[tholomar]

The Fire Lord is just waiting for its return 🔥

[PaintingWinterMusic]

I always thought VSauce became insane because of some childhood trauma, but now I see it was meant to happen from the day he was born.

[findairy]

You can tell Michael is actually a little scared because of how normal the ending was 😅 he was too distracted to do anything insane
