If you died at 75 and came back to life 25 years later, would you be 75 or 100? You are, astronomically, 25 years older, but you never lived that 25 years. I want good answers to help me solve this dilemma!

Physically you'd be 75 and you would have had no life experiences beyond age 75, so you'd be 75.

You would probably be 75 years old because you haven't lived those 25 years. If you have come back to life after 25 years, you would be still 75 years old.

This is a dilemma for you. You might want to get a life while you're still among the living. An answer to your question is chronologically you would be 100 years from your birth so you would be 100 years old. If there was no corruption/decomposition of your physical body you could be considered to have the body of a 75 year old.

That would probably be a similar question to asking if you went into a coma at the age of 25 and woke up two years later, how old would you be?
In both cases, I would say you are the same age you were when you "died" because you haven't really matured/experienced as much as if you were awake or alive the whole time. Just because you were technically born 100 years earlier doesn't mean you are 100 years old.
