Longevity, levity and life extension are amidst the most pre-historic quest that man has been dreaming of. It is explained through stories, myths, elixirs and is sometimes referred to as the fountains of youth. These topics are brought to the first page as superlative exponential advancement in technology is transcending to a new era of knowledge.
People do often ignore the impact that science has on medicine and public health. In the last century, life expectancy has been increased with a decade yet this is only the start. The boarders of DNA research may soon slow or even stop aging to occur. The key towards biologically immortal lies in research done in the future and that is what the Timeship building is going to provide.
Overview of Timeship
The timeship building will be a concrete structure of six-acres, and it will be marked as the biggest facility for life extension and for cryopreservation of DNA, human organs, biological tissues and even brains cells.
The timeship will assure maximum guardianship to cryo-preserved patients. It will withstand natural and human threats for centuries. The center has been construed with extremely high security at all levels. This incorporates protection against threats such as terrorist attack, global warming, energy crisis and other catastrophes.
Going into More Details
The functional aspect of the Timeship is assured as it will be safeguarded against any possible devastation befalling naturally or through man intended intervention. The design of the building consists of forts, castles, research laboratories, military bunkers, nuclear containment shelter and prisons.
The architecture is all encompassing with proper exterior planning to ensure interior space. The design of the timeship represents the rebirth. It has horizontal mirrors, which are well placed in an upward direction to create a sense of connection to heavens.
The floor on the top will have laboratories and offices, which will be enclosed by extensive glass square surrounded with the Four Season Garden. The second level of the structure will have as many as 12 communities where proper attention will be given to warrant that cryopreserved patients have all they require in their liquid nitrogen tanks.
The structure has been architect by Stephen Valentine. He used special geometric formation to symbolize not only birth but also rebirth that has been present since immemorial times of human civilization. The structure is universal in the sense that it uses pyramids, allusion to water (source of life), phoenix (the Ben Bird; Egyptian symbol of rebirth) Mandalas (Buddhist symbol of the universe) in its core of design.
The design of the Timeship was completed by Stephen Valentine in 2009. Areas for the building to be erected such as the 646 acres identified for the biotechnology research park was purchased in 2007. This is not mere fiction; it is progress and the extent to which science believes that death can be defeated just as any other disease.
