Well, Moshe Rabeinu lived til 120, so that’s where we get the phrase, ad meah v’esrim. Scientists, with their purely scientific minds, say 120 years is the maximum lifespan of a person.
Generally, but that doesn’t mean that there can’t be exceptions. Jeanne Calment lived 122 years. So, why can’t the person under discussion be an exception as well?
