Schoedinger's dog got it.

To answer your question, Tomas. No I do not believe in fate or predestination or something like that. But when it comes to getting older, you have two choices. You can die and avoid progressing any further in age or you can continue to live your life. If you continue to live your life, you have no choice other than to experience 20, 30, 40 etc.

YOU won't exist as a 20 year old until time takes you to that point, so in that sense the age of 20 is a hypothetical question for you. You can make a construct of age 20, paint it 5 different colors, and place a dead cat inside, but when you finally open up that gift wrapped box on your 20th birthday, the one you have no choice but to open up because it beats the alternative, don't be surprised if a dalmation leaps out.
