"Concise and devoid of elegance...what I have come to expect from human communication"-Endless Summer

I did the math. He was 6 in 2517. And 2552 makes him 41.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Sounds about right.

Nope,You didn't factor in the time spent in cryo.

He's 41 but he's physically in his twenties.

He's 41 with the body of a 28 year old, although all the time in Cryo, he could be MUCH younger.

Indeed.

So, in essence, wouldn't that mean that he can live to about 160-200 years old, if he is physically half his age?
Food for thought.

There once was an ugly barnacle. He was so ugly that everyone died.

The end.

SCFH

When he was done his training he had the body of a 18 year old olympic champion and then some.

Easily. In 2552, the norm is 98-142. John will be around for quite some time; he's currently one of the most fit beings in the universe.

There are two factors you need to consider, too.

-time spent in cryosleep [suspended animation]
-medical advances that extend age overall

The cryosleep is pretty self explanatory, I think. Spent a lot of time running around Slipspace from battle to battle, so he wouldn't age while iced. As for age overall, think about how much longer people are living now than 50 years ago. 30-35 is the new 20, and people can be fit and active well into their 60s or older. Also, the Chief is a career soldiers. Ever since he was 6, he's been in peak physical condition, healthy and strong

He'd still be better than any of our athleets.

I am a practicing traditional Catholic.

Technically yes, he has been around for 41 years.

No he's 41, except with a 28 year old body.
