The very interesting point I can think of now is that the professor's reaction when he heard this sensational secret was "what's the point?", and then after a brief shock, from the field they were familiar with, based on their own habitual logic analysis and suspicion of the secret The authenticity of the truth, when Oldman answered fluently, and they could not find negative evidence, everyone fell into panic, because this unreasonable person would disintegrate their knowledge system. It is understandable why Edith broke down and refused to accept it from the beginning, she is a Christian semanticist, and her knowledge of God and Jesus is completely useless.
In the end, Oldman said sorry to everyone, I was joking, I just wanted to see your reaction. So the crowd was slightly offended, but more relieved. Sadly, Will Gruber finally found out that Oldman was the caveman who never got old, and that he was his missing dad, so he couldn't bear the blow and died of a heart attack.
It's just a well-crafted story. But if this happens in reality, everyone's reaction may be the same as the professors, because sometimes admitting a new thing has to deny many things in the past. Sometimes people suppress new things just because they don't want to shake the old system. Jesus first proposed that God exists, and he was nailed to the cross; if someone comes out to claim Jesus after N years, everyone will defend the previous Jesus and send him to a mental hospital.
Another interesting point is that this oldman said that although he does not age, it does not mean that he is a genius, new knowledge is always created by the most outstanding person in each era, and he must keep learning new knowledge to cope with the new era. He can't walk in the forefront of the times, and what he may have is the time, the history and experience accumulated by time. And 14,000 years of life experience has not been able to penetrate the human fear of true knowledge, and is still trying to tell people the truth. Isn't it a bit unreasonable? Maybe he thinks that this is not Galileo's time anymore, he is facing an era when science has developed, and he is facing a knowledgeable Harvard professor. But now, they may no longer send you to the gallows or the stake without human rights, but they can send you to a mental hospital for custody. Harvard psychology professor said that you have mental problems, who would dare to say not? It is still the power of knowledge that oppresses the truth. This situation has not changed. Oldman's 14,000 years were not in vain. He immediately turned against the water. I'm just kidding. You take it seriously.
