Actually, you're (we all) are only 13.72 billion years old, and the legal cosmological age is 14 billion.Hey... I always thought wisdom came with age. Here I am 14 billion years of and still almost as dumb as a rock! What gives?
No he isn't. He's also demanding simplicity far beyond the answers and subsequent thread derailments that he gives to other people's questions.
This is one of the worst challenges I have seen from AV. It seems to have constructed an answer before formulating the question.
Could we leave the universe out of this, please?Well no... even if I were to accept this idea that it has two ages, which I don't,
the canoe would be "now", and physically 14 billion years old (or however old you accept the universe to be) as that's how old the constituent parts are. Choosing the age of one specific configuration of those atoms is arbitrary.
Now here, you might have a point; but I'll consider this thread as having served its purpose if you can see how an object can have both and existential age and a physical age.(Besides, since you hollowed it out, most of the 1000 year old wood is gone. The rest is varying ages less than 1000 years.)
I know why I choose to learn what I choose to learn; and it happens to be the same reason you do.Ever think that might be why you have such a hard time learning anything?
Nope. Not the same reasons at all. You have religious reasons for squaring out your circle, when the rest of us accept a circle as a circle. Got it? Good.I know why I choose to learn what I choose to learn; and it happens to be the same reason you do.
As far as 'having a hard time learning anything', the irony meter is off the scale and needs more calibration.
Is there a point to this other than measuring how much spare time people have?
I have to agree totally with this.One can safely assume by looking at the weathering, the sawmarks, the type of paint of that the canoe has been built recently. Maybe if you look closely you will discover an accidental drop of blood from the guy who made it and tell that it has been deposited recently. You can also look at the wood and determine aproximatly the age of the tree and assume that it came from a seed about 1000 years ago.
The tree stop being a tree at the moment you call it a canoe.
You do seem to spend a lot of time on CF. Do you have a day job?-- You guys come up with some good ones, sometimes.

When at work you WORK!
Atleast i and AVVET have an excuse to be here...
It's a bummer being out of work, isn't it?
As I use it, it means: time in existence -- the amount of time something has been around.What does existential age mean?
