Abstract

This viewpoint considers extending aging studies beyond their current exclusive interest in human beings, conveying recent calls for this in more accessible terms. Specifically noted is that all entities/systems age relationally via the same universal entropic process and hence, based on this understanding, an "all‐world aging" perspective might be developed. A particular consideration is what such a broadening of horizons might offer for advancing our understandings of time—specifically with regard to the material press in time—and the issues it raises in terms of subjectivities. Key Messages: Everything in the world ages through relational entropic processes.Through such a realization, geographical and social scientific study of aging might be extended to consider the aging of all entities; this is an "all‐world aging" perspective.A broadened field of inquiry might help advance our understandings of time, particularly with regard to the material press in time.
