 How old is the earth? The Earth is estimated to be around 4.5 billion years old. This estimate is based on radiometric dating of rocks and meteorites, as well as other evidence from the formation of the solar system.    How old was the oldest person ever to live? As for the oldest person ever recorded, Jeanne Calment holds the title, living to the remarkable age of 122 years and 164 days. She was born on February 21, 1875, in France, and passed away on August 4, 1997. Her longevity has been well-documented and confirmed by multiple sources, making her the oldest recorded age for a human being. It's worth noting that while Jeanne Calment's record is extraordinary, human lifespans can vary greatly due to genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. The quest for extending human lifespan and understanding the limits of longevity continues to be an intriguing area of research and study in fields such as gerontology and biogerontology.

That is until one fateful day when they realized it was time to take a stand. One afternoon at the local diner, over milkshakes and fries, Sam presented a bold idea. “What if we flipped the script?
