I have been looking again at Wikepedia’s article on Ageing – one of my early reference points for these blogs. Ageing is described there as the accumulation of changes in an organism or object over time, a multidimensional process of physical, psychological, and social change. Some dimensions of ageing grow, says the article, and expand over time, whilst others decline. Reaction time, for example, may slow with age (that sounds familiar), whilst knowledge of world events and wisdom may (hopefully) expand. The article makes various termilogical distinctions such as ‘universal’ ageing –something that happens to everyone; ‘probabilistic’ ageing, which may
