He's 56. What's your point? Do you imagine that people who devote themselves to a field have some kind of expiry date built in?

Yes, we don't know the exact number yet, but he's 31 and it'll be at least 50 years.

The life expectancy for someone who in 2014 was 62 years old (like him) was another 20 years. So it is definitely young.
