Just consider for a moment an artificially intelligent [AI] human, given the same privileges as a genuine human but not being burdened by the restricted longevity ordinary humans must contend with. They would hold the capability to accumulate wealth and resources for itself ad infinitum. As humans we do not tend to live for any [...]

In the 1975 to 1980s, a cohort of scientists came to the conclusion that the maximum lifespan of humans are 120. It was found that before reaching the age of one hundred and twenty several processes responsible for the reproduction of cells start to fail. This causes the death of cells and the individual. Lately, [...]

Thomas Kirkwood, who was a statistician in 1977, proposed his disposable some theory on aging. Kirkwood is now a biologist as well as a professor of medicine at the University of Newcastle. His ideology was that organisms (soma) have a restricted volume of energy, which is to be split between maintenance of the non-productive and [...]

Women have an average lifespan that usually exceeds that of men by 5 to 6 years. The ratio of 85 years old women to men is 3:1. This means that for every 3 women aged 85 years, there are 2 corresponding men having the same age. The ratio goes up for centenarians; there are more [...]

There are unscientific issues that sway actual scientific and accepted thought processes when it comes to aging. This scenario is likely more accurate concerning the science of aging and the fundamental evolutionary mechanics hypothesis than any of the other areas of disciplined study. These issues are of particular importance regarding the programmed versus non programmed [...]

A group of researchers from the University of Michigan has revealed that when a new found gene is suppressed it increases the life span of round worms. Investigators who are researching the aging process have understood for some time now that when calories are restricted in some animals they will live longer. However, the objective [...]

It has been on the radar for decades now and referred to by various names, such as “elder quake” and “the silver tsunami” and it is beginning to occur now. The numbers are astounding – throughout the next thirty years, the amount of individuals over the age of sixty five in America will jump by [...]

Since humans first looked at each other, they have made it their business to find a means of regaining or keeping their youth for as long as they possibly could. Things have not changed that much from then until now – except for the manner of the search and how it has gone. Some pretty [...]

Are you afraid of aging? Why not try calorie restriction – eat less to live longer. Increasingly, more people are joining the viewpoints of the ‘Calorie Restriction Society’. Eat less to live longer is not a myth, it is rather a theory backed with extensive research on various species like rodents, yeast, dogs and fish. [...]

An evolutionary biologist with more than 30 years of experience, Dr. Michael Rose, is revealing breakthroughs in the field of life extension. Dr. Michael Rose has been devoting his last fifteen years to confirm that aging is unstoppable. Fascinatingly, he just terminated this phase of his study and found that “he was wrong”. Now, he [...]
