The study measured people’s reactions to death with celebrities in mind. Surprisingly, people were less likely to think a plane would crash if a celebrity was onboard, another study imagines a meeting with Oprah Winfrey.

Psychologists theorize that celebrities help all us normal folk deal with becoming nothing by proving one can become immortal. Huh. Who would’ve thunk.
