John's age is affected by the same ambiguities as all beings who undergo extended voyages through space. By technical human Earth years, John is approximately 41 years old at the time he crash-landed on Installation 04, and 46 years old in [[2557]]. However, during the 27 Earth years that he has spent fighting the Covenant, and the five years that followed, considerable time was spent in [[cryo chamber|cryo-sleep]] on long [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] voyages. The aging process is slowed in slipspace by deep sleep in cryo chambers, in which cellular aging can be halted almost completely. As a result, John's biological age is significantly less than his age as measured by Earth-standard chronology.
John's age is affected by the same ambiguities as all beings who undergo extended voyages through space. By technical human Earth years, John (having been born sometime in 2511) is approximately 41 years old at the time he crash-landed on Installation 04, and 46 years old in [[2557]]. However, during the 27 Earth years that he has spent fighting the Covenant, and the five years that followed, considerable time was spent in [[cryo chamber|cryo-sleep]] on long [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] voyages. As the entire point of cryo-sleep to slow celluar activity (including aging) to near standstill, John's biological age is significantly less than his age as measured by Earth-standard chronology. In addition, the aging process of a Spartan-II is undeniably effected by the extensive augmentations done to them, making his biological age even harder to predict.
