Do all of your cells get switched out for new ones every seven years or so? Does anything remain with you throughout your entire life?

The question was posed on the NPR podcast Invisibilia by co-host Lulu Miller. Listen to their episode (exploring the constancy of personality) here:

Produced by Adam Cole and Ryan Kellman

My body is 20 years old. The cells that make up my body are younger but the atoms that make up my cells are almost as old as the universe?

I watch science videos almost every day and this one really broke my mind. Lovely animations and brilliant choice of sound effects guys! Keep it up. I subscribed and will probably stick around for a while :)

This video reminded me of a pretty profound quote I'd heard once, so much that I actually went and looked it up. It's by a guy called Phil Hellenes. Here it is:

"The body of a newborn baby is as old as the cosmos. The form is new and unique, but the materials are 13.7 billion years old, processed by nuclear fusion in stars, fashioned by electromagnetism. Cold words for amazing processes. And that baby was you. Is you. You’re amazing. Not only alive, but with a mind. What fool would exchange this for every winning lottery ticket ever drawn?"

Why do we still have scars if we have new skin every so often?

I did so like the part of the forming of the lens. Wonderful music combined with wonderful storytelling.

Nice to see you, Adam! Here is a question that's related to this video: If you get a scar on your skin when you are little, why does it persist into adulthood, even though all the cells are replaced so many times? Happy Holidays from The Gulleruds!

I just had cataract surgery. I have new lenses and an upgrade via iLasik so my vision is the best I've ever had.

But now I'm sad about saying goodbye to my old lenses, yellowed as they were...

Absolutely beautiful, how come you don't have millions of subscribers? I have no idea...

The nail clipping clip 0:39 was for some reason satisfying to watch.. Yeah I'm weird.

I concur with other commenters - what an amazing science channel! :) Can mine grow up to be like this one pretty please? :p

In all seriousness - loving the graphics - they are incredibly unique and compelling, and presentation is spot on. :) So happy to have stumbled upon this video - I have a new favourite channel!
