Quantum Physics question, no conveyor belt involved
If we are, as quantum physics suggests just a collection of energy temporarily massed together, and always changing with quarks moving to a fro. Why do we age?

You mean change is the only constant right? or age is? Or both are? which is the only one? Way to contradict yourself and hurt my brain. Thanks.

as time passed, the quarks which are moving to and fro will change temporal position and reflect light in a different angle, resulting in the appearance of aging. In reality, only time is passing and you just think you're aging.

Stop looking in the mirror, thus preventing yourself from seeing the change in how the light is reflecting off you, and you will be forever young.

yikes!

for us, anyways, which gives us a fairly limited perspective of (capital 'R') reality (though ephemerality sure is a great motivator for us creatures of short existances). looking at time as a mutable, not-necessarily linear thing is fairly mind bending. quantum physics is pretty neat stuff.

Because you play with it too much.

Or because of women.

Same thing.

Gooch, it's a daft question, the answer isn't physics based, it's biological, you can't break it down to the atomic/molecular level.

It's also kind of an emo question.

None of this explains why I get older but college chicks stay the same age.

Do you want a real answer or a smart ass one? I've got both!
