contents The finite models of a universal sentence $Φ$ in a finite relational signature are the age of a structure if and only if $Φ$ has the joint embedding property. We prove that the computational problem whether a given universal sentence $Φ$ has the joint embedding property is undecidable, even if $Φ$ is additionally Horn and the signature of $Φ$ only contains relation symbols of arity at most two.
