I found this brief video so interesting! It's almost like an artist who creates a painting, whereby the painting itself eventually takes on a life of its own; when the piece of work is displayed at an exhibition and various people experience this painting, certain impressions are caused, whether or not those impressions become the life of the painting or part of the observer is an interesting thought..

Prof Anton, this is absolute nonsense! Your comment that age is a "modern concept" is so patently historically false, I had to laugh. So let me get this straight. Justinian The Great didn't grasp that he was 40 and Theodora the Great 20 when they married? Or are you saying to that when Procopius poked fun at the legendary General Belisarius for being a 20 something who was wrapped around the finger of his wife, Antonina, a 60 something, that he didn't know what age was? Come on! Try again.

Age is relative, relative to the age of the world or even the universe an 99 year old man is as young as a new born. The perception of age has been wildly distorted by the media but the acceptance of post war morality and ethics collectively has made superficial senior wisdom look outdated and immoral.

It reminds me of that scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail where King Arthur sees the guy from behind and says, "Old woman!" and the guy turns around and says, "I'm a man." Then he says, "I'm 37, I'm not old."

This is an interesting idea. Even to say, for example, that I'm 31... it really doesn't mean anything on its own. It's only when we compare the 31 of one person to the 31 of another that it starts to get anything we might call a perspective. The more 31-year-olds we have to compare, the more it starts to mean anything at all.

I'm only 31, and whatever that means, because other people are, as well.
