"Talking nonsense with sense" rofl

[Myflesh101]

@hubbabubbarubbalubba Yeah with his foundation S.E.N.S.(Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence) I though it was cool that he slipped that in there, that other research in the area of anti-aging might make his look nonsensical, a humble statement, compared with other scientists with egos as big as trucks. The guys amazing!

so if you can stand to live past the break point, you are able to increase on a genetic curve?

The man's a genius

Note that the reliability theory of aging claims to explain the late life plateau using the concept of "redundancy exhaustion".

[feeks84]

@tmtyler could you explain please?

[Keim4ever]

@feeks84 Aubrey De Grey is working on a very important issue, people shouldn't be limited to their own biological limit. If we are to ever explore space we need a radical change in our body. These advancements WILL happen, but he's trying to promote these advancments so that they can come sooner and give more benefits to people.

[feeks84]

@Keim4ever I agree completely with you. I am a pharmacist studying medicine so this area interests me greatly

[tmtyler]

@feeks84 You can start with the "Reliability theory of aging and longevity" and "Compensation law of mortality" Wikipedia articles on the topic - if you need an introduction to this idea. There's more in the references there.

[Whydurst]

Gracious and intellectually honest in the face of criticism. Prick.
