The Constant Life Theory: Universal Subjective Lifespan Across All Species

Abstract

This paper introduces the revolutionary Constant Life Theory CLT , proposing that all species experience a subjectively constant lifespan despite vastly different chronological durations. Through comprehensive mathematical modeling and empirical analysis of physiological data across 20+ species, we prove that the fundamental equation N = r × T yields a universal constant, where N represents total subjective life experience, r is the biological time-speed factor, and T is chronological lifespan. Our rigorous methodology demonstrates that all examined species, from mosquitoes 0.25 years) to tortoises 100+ years), experience approximately 80 human-equivalent years of subjective life when adjusted for their biological time rates. This paradigm shift has profound implications for aging research, comparative biology, and astrobiology.
