We have dog years which is 7dog/1 human and we have cats. Yet no one has created a formula to figure out how vampires/human years work. Is it weird to wonder what the formula would be?
Vampires are supposed to be immortal, so there's no need. It hurts my brain thinking about how you'd compare the life of a human to the life of a vampire, if they live forever. Oh, and then there's the whole vampires being fictional thing of course.
But to answer your question, I think no-one's worked it out, because no-one gives a crap what the formula is.:)
I know that but I always wonder. People just randomly toss out a number. Some vampires age but age very slow and live forever. So I think even as immortals they must have a rate at which they age. They even had movies of born vampires. How do they age? Yes I know its imaginary but we should have a rate for this shouldn't we?
Ahh no! You really are hurting my brain waaah!D:
"So I think even as immortals they must have a rate at which they age."
HOW?!D: I just can't comprehend how someone who lives FOREVER ages. I mean, ageing is growing older, so how can a vampire grow older? You grow older until you die, but if they don't die, then what happens? They don't age!
And I just can't compare the age of a human to a vampire because vampires don't have a final age. If their age is always on-going, then how can I come up with something like 1:7? That would always have to change. It's infinity or something.:(
Sigh, I'm not capable of discussing such highbrow philosophy:P. Again, to answer your question, no, we shouldn't have a rate for this! Gawd, I can't believe you sucked me into talking about this:P!
That is just how amazing I am. Also this would be possible if they only age to a limit and just stop. Some people are bitten so they stop aging at that age.
However some people are born vampires and sometimes they will show very old vampires that looks ancient and you wonder how they haven't just turned into dust yet but blood will always revive them.
Living forever is not really a bizarre concept. The reason we die is that cells copy the previous cell. However no cell makes a perfect copy. So as we grow the copy becomes worse and worse.
Till we can no longer function and we die. So if we could program our cells to make perfect copies we could live forever. However it could also be they just age very slowly next to humans and do die but it takes 10 times as long.
You're not far from the truth actually. With each copy our cells lose a small part of their telomeres which are small sequences of nucleotides on the end of DNA, the copying process is not perfect due to the ribosome not being able to go all the way to the end and we lose a small segment of nucleotides each time, the telomeres are there to protect us from losing valuable genetic information which eventually does happen when we reach old age. If we could switch on telomerase enzyme within the cell then we could regenerate our telomeres and affectively become immortal, exactly like cancer cells.
In my story, after they hit the age of 25, their aging slows down to 50 years.
You are incorrect about the dog years and no one gives a flying fuck about vampires.
its not weird you nearly had me getting a pen and paper out to start a formula lol
