People born closer to the 19th century - closer to Queen Victoria! - than to today: Viggo Mortensen, Ellen DeGeneres, Gary Oldman, Madonna, Neil deGrasse Tyson. Not that they're probably all that excited to hear this (sorry!) I love the sense it gives me of the beats of time!

So what's the cutoff date? (2019+1900)/2 = 1958.5? Okay, so I was born after that, just a bit.

Another version of this deals with longer historical timeframes. For example, we are closer to Jesus than Jesus was to construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Really puts the vastness of history in perspective.

So, I'm (barely) within that group. And the people named don't seem old, either. But there are lots of us--lots of Baby Boomers are still around.
