Gran Torino

If our existence is not an illusion and our scientific theories are not too far away from the 'truth', then:

The universe is 13.75 ±0.17 billion years old.
Planet earth is 4.6 billion years old.
Simple cells are 3.8 billion years old.
Humans are 200,000 years old.
Scientists predict that planet earth will last another 7.5 billion years or so.

The current world average life span is 67.2 years old.
How do you want to be remembered?

'Your world is nothing more than all the tiny things you've left behind'
---------- Gran Torino (2008), Jamie Cullum
