Danger_Jules Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) If someone was frozen before someone was even born, but that other person physically lived a longer life than the person who was frozen, who is older?

But it's more so preserving something or someone as it or they are for a new generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Toulon Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) Fry is older, his birthdate and current year he's living in dictated that.....And we can factor in that he's his own grandfather, so in a cyclical timeline, he's lived 2 lives while the professor lives only one....He couldn't catch up.

K_N Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 It entirely depends on whether you consider older to be relativistic or not. Considering that when we refer to someone's age, we're generally using time on earth as the focal point, Fry would be older, despite not experiencing most of that time. In the same way, someone who leaves earth, travels on a near lightspeed ship and only experiences days of time when thousands of years go by would still be considered older by earth standards even though to them they've barely aged at all.

With this logic, it appears to be more in favor that Fry is older than Farnsworth, though Farnsworth is the one that actually has aged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
