In order to be truly immortal one needs to be indestructible. The chance to die in an accident essentially limits the average human life span to around 200 years.
(Ironically, indestructibility, on the other hand, can lead to situations that are worse than death.)
- mirplayer 8y agoThat would be invulnerability, impervious to harm. Immortality just means you cannot die from ageing. *as you do not age
- jakeogh 8y ago200? That's lower than I guessed. I get numbers for accidental death like "50 per 100000 per lifetime"... so 0.05% chance per lifetime? Compounding... err... just ask #math, use geom distribution...: 0.9995^n = 1/2 = 1386 lifetimes... looks like we have a ~100,000 year accidental halflife
