The world is fascinated with long life. Perhaps because we wonder what we would do, individually, if we had an abundance of time, the world’s most valuable resource. It’s fun to think about it. And so the world is fascinated by Jeanne Calment, the human with the longest documented lifespan, 122 years, 164 days. In…

Jeanne Calment, if you don’t already know, is the person who lived the longest according to documented evidence. She lived to be 122. Some of you may be intrigued by the title of this episode. Jeanne Calment died on  August 4, 1997. What is there to update? As it turns out, quite a lot. My…
