This title changes with the age of the caretaker, eg I am, how do you prove you lived 27 years?

Before watching this movie, I had been very curious about the process of persuasion. It is very difficult to convince a group of university professors that a person lived 14,000 years.
This curiosity also accompanies every minute of watching the movie. It can be said that I will think about every question in it. This curiosity makes me feel that I am participating in this discussion. In terms of cognition, it is not a little bit from the professors present.

The question I was thinking after reading it was, how do I prove that I really lived 27 years?

Everything I say about history can be considered to have been learned from books; any definite event I describe can be said to be a subjective imagination. Even if my descriptions of many objective times are accurate, it only shows that my history is good. Not to mention that I can't remember the dates of many major historical events.

That said, when I'm faced with the title issue, there's nothing I can do to convince people that I really have 27 years to live, unless someone in the room happens to have an intersection with my experience, like in the end credits.
The above is the verification of history, as well as the verification of psychology, archaeology, biology, medicine, religion, etc. I believe that I cannot give answers like the protagonist.
Then there is only one conclusion, I can't prove that I really lived 27 years. Unless you go to a professional institution for a physical inspection.

Of course, I believe that people can't refute me. As said in the film, since he can't make us believe, and we can't refute him, then whether to believe or not is actually a dialectical question, which one you choose is up to you. right.
