Your answer would be "one". A year after your

            birth, you were one year old. At birth, however, you

            were not old enough to have an age. This could be

            expressed as "zero age".

                  3. Think about the year before your first birth-

            day! How old were you then? Where were you?

                  You should have answered that by saying, "I

            wasn't around then."

                  You didn't exist at all before your mother became

            pregnant.

            would see that your body would also disappear at the                     19

            body would become smaller and smaller, until finally

            you would become a baby in your mother's womb. If

            this operation were carried still further, you would



                         If we could travel back in time,
                         these pictures of you would
                         continue in the opposite direction
                         until the time you did not exist yet.
