My question is, the timescale of living things, we have the Mayfly — The Shortest Lifespan and The Greenland shark is recognized as one of the longest-living animals on Earth, but its lifespan of up to 500 years, non-animal is Methuselah, a bristlecone pine in the White Mountains of California, stands at the ripe old age of about 5,000, but could anything be classed as living i.e. birth, growth, reproduction, and death. Be applied to other forms of life for argument’s sake Crystal based life, something that takes millions of years in a life cycle of birth, growth, reproduction, and death. Or is life just based in human time life spans?
