Nash's world

The following fact has been in my mind lately, inspired by something I read on reddit a week or so ago In my body right now, biochemical reactions we call “life” are occurring. It’s cool that they’ve been going my whole life, my heart has done well over a billion beats at this point. That’s cool.But my life processes date back longer than that. My cells grew out of a egg and sperm that came from my mom and dad, and that process was continuous. In other words, they were living before, they came together, rearranged themselves, and kept on going. So in a very real sense, my life is a continuation of my dad’s life and my mom’s — admittedly for only two very lucky cells of theirs. Likewise, their life was the continuation of their progenitors, and so on.In that sense, as a living thing, I’ve been going strong for at least 3.5 billion years. Yes, I used to be simpler, and at various times I’ve narrowed down to just a couple of cells, but through thick and thin, I’ve managed.When I die, it’ll be the end of the line. But 3.5 billion years will have been a pretty good run.
