want to know how old you
really are( well, at least half of you)?
take the date of your mothers birth and subtract 20 weeks, this will give the approximate date of the creation of the egg that you came from that became you once your fathers sperm fertilized it. this is due to the fact that on the day of your mothers birth she was born with the only supply of eggs (this is in contrast with males who constantly regenerate sperm)
pretty cool huh?
note: while this actually wont give you your real age because you were not you until just after fertilization, in other words this just shows that half of you genetic material was already formed. But it is cool to think about how half of who you are is much older than what you think
