How Big Can a Person Get?

New Vsauce video.
Rawheadsays...

I think he was talking about our body emitting a super tiny amount of light, not the reflected light. I could be wrong, but that's what i got from it.

so, our "light" is "huge and kind of immortal," but then, so is everything else that reflects visible light, no?

Yeah, he was talking about the light that our bodies emit rather than what we reflect. Then again, I think emit versus reflect gets a bit fuzzy at that scale. Any matter is going to have some heat absorbed, held, and eventually released; so I guess you could argue that all matter emits some light beyond that which it is just instantly reflecting.

In any case, a cynic would note that the light emitted by humans doesn't make us unique and special snowflakes in the way he implied.

Shockingly so. Did he get his stomach stapled or is he ill?

And now he's using a white background instead of black, perhaps to hint that he's now happier with his new-found thinness.
