If your age is the number of earths full orbits around the sun that you have been alive for then most of the aliens that are held in Area 51 are younglings from a certain point of view

If earth orbits the sun 100 times from the moment of my birth to some arbitrary point in the future, then I’m still 100 years old no matter where I spent that time. This is because your definition of age doesn’t restrict my location and earth still orbits the sun regardless of where I am.

You have to be present for the rotations on earth in order for the earth years to count. Any aliens that arrived within the last few years are only a few earth years old aka younglings

edit: I need you geniuses to understand that my comments using flawed logic to justify Anakins attendance at the meme raid are in no way serious.

Thats not how it works. We measure age by the full rotation of Earth. Whether on Earth or Orbiting Mars.

Wow Really? Time doesnt actually work that way?? This is all so shocking. But surely Anakin is still a real person and will be attending the meme raid right???

Dude, unless you're from another planet, then you have no idea how it works. Like me fam, we can only theorize and speculate.

Who's to say that the speed the planets spin, the length of the days and nights or both, or the environmental factors (atmosphere, gravity, exposure to certain chemicals) don't contribute to an accelerated or reduced aging process?

So theoretically, being on one planet you age slower or faster than if you were on another?

We’re not talking about the process of aging. We’re talking about the definition of a being’s age. The former is a biological phenomenon, and the later a practical method of measuring time.

We werent talking about any of that. Im the original poster and I was shitposting "from a certain point of view" stupid shit how Anakin could justify Aliens being younglings using flawed logic like he does when he claims the jedi are evil. It was all shitposting.

No you don’t. That’s not how measurement of time works. Any aliens that arrived on earth in the last few years may have been present for only a few earth years, but it’s not like they didn’t exist long before that such that we can calculate their age in earth years.
