Fancy living for 86 million years?

Here’s how to do it. Could be a bit boring, though.

There never was nothing.

the article does't say that the microbes have been living
for 86 million years as your post suggest.

at least I didn't see it.

heres what I found by following the links from the page.

they live at least 1000 years , the 86 million years old bit
is the red clay they live in.

Another mystery revolves around the age of the cells that Røy found. They must be at least a thousand years old, but they could be much older. “If they grow this slowly and they’re still alive, then they’re also not dying very fast,” said Røy.
