If you get frozen for 10 years, your body will be lagging 10 years from your actual birth date, or we might need a new term altogether to represent biological age.

    Imagine being frozen for 50 years, you step out at the worst time in 50 and immediately ask to go back in...

    Me "What year is it?"

    Employee "Why, it's 2126. What'd'ya think, you like it?"

    Me "But... why is everything on fire outside?"

    Employee " haha 😅😅 funny you should ask, you see, this guy Trump was also froz--"

    Me "throw me back in another 50 years please "

    Due to time dilation, astronauts’ bodily age ends up being marginally less than their age according to the number of days passed on Earth.

    I'd think the latter as we don't really account for the fact some people age slower than others today

    Certainly "adulthood" would be thought in a more binary sense than it already is though
