    if that snail stood committed for 300 quadrillion years. then so can you. Just DO it!
  • Imagine an imortal snail, slowly inching its way across the universe.
  • @adaptable959
    Why do I feel like 300 quadrillion years still isn't enough for the garden snail
  • @dylanaroberts97
    Light: I’m the fastest thing in the universe. Fiction: laughs in broken physics
  • @somebody7727
    whats faster than light? me running up the stairs after turning off the kitchen lights so the demon cant catch me.
  • @yoda4112
    This video : the millennium falcon is way faster than light speed Han Solo in the millennium falcon : prepare for the light speed
  • If the Andromeda Galaxy wasn’t hurtling towards us at 70 miles per second. The expansion of the Universe would prevent the Garden Snail from ever reaching its destination.
  • @islandboybry
    I like how they went from a garden snail to the speed of light
  • @Incepter.
    Doctor: You have 300 quadrillion years to live Snail: Then i shall do what my father always wanted to do
  • @RandomGuy-eg8zs
    The garden snail talking with his kids be like: "Once, I raced with the fastest beings in the entire universe"
  • @reigarw
    Anyone wanna see Part 3? Maybe with a Tsunami, Hurricane, Fissure, Solar Flare race. Or a Green Lanturn, Sonic, Dash, Flash etc race.
  • @davidmorel373
    I thought you were downplaying the flash moving him slow but then I realised you dramatically slowed down time so we could see. Good on you mate.
  • @LighterST
    Heart of Gold: I'm the fastest thing in the universe! Garden Snail: Hold my beer
  • imagine the snail makes it all the way there and realizes he forgot his phone
  • @Joleyn-Joy
    By virtue of time travel, wouldn't the TARDIS (and for that matter any time ship) be infinite as well? they can reach the finish line even before they start the race
