Life lifetime (nano seceonds to million years)

Humans live for average 100 years.

Some trees live for 500 Years

Tortoise lives for 200 years

Birds live for average 10 years

Dogs live for an average 10 years

Ants live for average 1 year

Fly lives for just 1 month

We often think life with age of 1 month - 100 years.

What about life form that live for only 1 second. There can be a life
which has a lifetime of just 1 sec.

Or may be some Living giant which lives for million years. and for him
1 year = 1 second. So we are unable to detect its movements.

It takes 1 sec for us to move our hands/ legs to walk. Just image a
Big living Object that takes 10 years for moving its parts.

If we Just look that object for 1-2 years we will not be able to
detect those movement. And we will miss them as living objects.

(physical reality) - (empirical reality) = faith

Faith is destroyed if it works. If you have faith you can only be
denied. Test of faith! What can be asserted without evidence can
also be dismissed without evidence.

Curtain climbers should restrict their drool to where their mommies
can clean up after them.

A bacterium may live for only a few minutes before it reproduces and
become 2 individuals.

There is a shrub in Tasmania about 43,000 years old.

Where do humans live for an average of 100 years? What percentage of
people in whichever country has the best health care live to be 100 or
more?

Life Expactency is increasing every year.

Today Life Expactency is 80 years. 20 years from now It would be 100
years. So those who are below age of 60 can think of living upto 100
years.

The reasion for increase in Life Expactency is the technological
advancements in Medical Science and soon it will be able to cure all
diseases mankind has along with old age problems.

After 40 years Life Expsactency will be 150 years as All body parts
could be replaced by artificial limbs and machines.

Yesterday I read artificial bones have been developed which lasty
longer than the bones we have giving old people a strong support.

So in other words, humans don't live for an average of 100 years at all.
