I am nearly 40 years old. I will probably live into my 90’s.

I am a professional scientist, and so understanding what happened 64.5 million years ago is very relevant to my interests and needed in my sphere of relevant knowledge.

Is it going to make you live longer? It might be relevant to your discipline, but in the context of the concept of time it doesn't make any difference.

Why? Because the ability to measure isn't that precise. Even if the measurement is as close as 500,000 years, it might as well be an eternity. Because in reality that is what 500,00, a million, 65,000,000 years are.
