Why do people live in range 0-110 years ... mostly 50's,60's and 70's? Why do not they live 0-1000 years?

theorically, I will live about 97 years, a normal good-excercised person on a normal country, will live about 89 years.\n<I will skip the scientific explanation.>\n\nthe answer should be: bones and organs decompose, it is totally imposible (at least now until 1000 years) that a person lives that much, heart and other muscular organs get old, and wasted, think about it.\n\n<altough I do this for free, 10 points as best answer wouldnt be bad>

120, but if you think aging not as a natural process but as a disease, then you could find a cure for it. Nanotechnology could provide that cure, and then we could see humans living far beyond the 120.\n\nBut so far, the average age of death for first world countries is 80-85 and for third world countries 60-65.

Never . Why would you waste quality of life when you could be living it ? Life expectancy is growing by leaps and bounds. There are those who waste their teens and twenties , and then there are those getting degrees at age 80+ .It is all in the quality of what one does with their life .We are born knowing that nobody lives forever on earth . To dwell on death serves no useful purpose .As long as there is life there is hope .

well in ancient times, ive heard folklore about old people being carried into the forest, because they were no longer helpful to the community.  but oftentimes ppl in the past did not live to be more than 60 years old...otherwise their families just took care of them until they got too sick, then they just treated them like any other dying person.  believe it or not, a few hundred yrs. ago, there were no nursing homes...yup...lol

Well I think it is because God was roaming the earth. There was no war, there was no sickness, there was peace and that's why people back then lived a lot longer than they do now. :)

If it is from old age it is because we wear out, or get damaged beyond repair. Besides if we didn't die it would be awfully darn crowded don't you think?

Because people want all thing as quickly as possible.In olden days life span of paddy is one year.later it is reduced to six month,then three month now it is 70 day. Like wise 15th century peoples have 120 years as lifespan,then it is gradually reduced nowis 60 due to eating hybrid variety of plants[food] ,this is way to totally destroy Man Kingdom by thier own.

The 22nd century starts in the year 2100\n\nSome would argue that as there was no Year 0 the first century started in 1 AD and was only 99 years long instead of 100 years long. And therefore all subsequent centuries should start in 101, 201 ... 2001, 2101.\n\nI don't agree with that point of view but it exists.

Don't think too far into this or it suddenly becoms VERY confusing. Those who are "fit" to survive do not die and pass on their advantageous traits to the next generation. It's that simple.

So let me get this right...  \nAdam lived 1/5 to 1/6 of the time the planet has been here?\n\nInsane and stupid is harsh.  I probably wouldn't go that far unless you insulted my belief that...  like somebody else said, there are written records from before 5000 years ago.\n\nThere are ruins of cities <not encampments of cave people, but actual CITIES> that are 10,000 years old.

There are lots of different types of stars, all with different 'lifespans'. Ours is about 4.5 Billion years old and should 'live' to the ripe old age of about 10 Billion years old.

Because 0-100 was the first century\n100-200 was the second century\nTherefore 1900 -2000 was the 20th century\n\nand 2000-2100 in the 21st century.

Do you want to know about linear time, or the decay of lifeforms over time?\n\nPeople turn different ages because it's the only way we know. tomorrow is after today. \n\nI don't turn different ages though, I get older.

Well doll I don't know if you heard but 40 is the new 30, so don't turn in your convertible for the volks wagon just yet...The way I see it is like this: In many other countries your not old until you've reached about 75 80, and so these men and women who are 'middle aged' or close to it, don't necessarily see themselves in that light.  Now in America because things are changing everyday and things seem to be getting faster and faster but we get more out of shape and lazy because we have technology that does everything for us, Americans seem to have more health issues after thirty five (heart attacks, diabetes etc.).  But just because you're 40 doesn't mean you have to be 'old'. Renew yourself, use all the knowledge that you have obtained in your life so far and apply it, meaning do something different, do something you regretted not doing in the past (with in reason). I guess my answer to your question is that what happens after you turn 40 is that you keep living (I mean no one grows horns or get abducted by aliens once they turn forty, like forty isn't they age that all human beings get there first tail) chill relax, and live a little bit more than you did last year!!
