Why would you do this? There is a reason why we age and it's because we need to die. Death is part of life and its a good thing! I understand that this would be used to cure diseases. Have you ever though that maybe nature gave us these diseases on purpose? You know, because we are overpopulating and currently have 7 billion hungry people. An alligator only needs to eat once a week. A human is required to eat 3 full meals a day!
I think it depends on what your dream is, if its something that seem far out there, and if its really important to you then choose to live forever. why watch humanity evolve when you can also take part in it.
@tronskeee What if you had a kid? It would only take 20 years for that kid to look like you. Knowing that, there would probably be a lot of disgusting pedophiles too.
ok crazy idea, but hear me out..he said cancer is immortal, right? well what if we genetically engineered ourselves to have cancer and be cancer (like it be a part of our every cell) but not to kill us or grow uncontrollably, i think that sounds like the fountain of youth to me. to engineer our cells to only attain the good characteristics of cancer. just an idea.
@cubednation haha good luck friend, if you actually do come up with a cure for cancer (not being sarcastic) be sure to include me as your source of inspiration when you get the Nobel prize. xD
@LuneyTune72 It actually makes quite a bit of sense. Cancer cells are just normal cells that keeps multiplying infinitely until it takes over the body. If one could, say, take a stem cell and turn it into skin cell then turn it into cancer. That cell could infinitely multiply and create new skin cells for burn victims or replace old skin cells of the elderly and they could have younger looking skin. The only problem is stopping this multiplication once it's grafted onto patients.
So we drastically reduce human mortality, then the population sky-rockets, then we starve to death to do a lack of food to sustain an infinitely growing population....Or kill each other for the food. Aging or not, we're fucked.
hmmm... how much would i pay to live to be 300 years old and healthy.... i'd pay all of my familys heirloom account + property and 30% of any money i make between now and the grave - that may seem like a lot but i'd pay it for an added 220 years of life (with my luck i'd get shot at age 35)
@bobolatrick no you wouldn't, think about it, if it was just you, you see all your family and friends die before and you constantly have to create new friendships and lives over and over again, sure watching humanity evolve and technology would be cool, but if you were to live FOREVER, then there comes a point where you go, gee, this is getting boring, because you've lived too long.. get me or no?
@david1991rules4life Well that's life... Everyone gets sick of it. I'd definitely get sick of it! But someone would probably kill me soon after I start thinking that... Anyway, I want to see how the world will change in the future. It kills me inside to know that I'll never know what's going to happen beyond this life... Hm
@bobolatrick Did you know, if we didn't focus on destroying each other everyday over a silly ideology/religion or something we would already have this kind of technology 100 years ago...
@scottl4321 well soon after that discovery i wouldn't be surprised if scientists discovered a way to bring a person back to fully functioning life, obviously provided that the organs are still all intact and not decomposed into carbon waste.
@allblacksboston1997 By the time aging has been cured, don't you think humans would have mastered space travel and have colonized thousands of planets already?
Not to mention all the other ways people die that aren't due to old age.
@Satsaru The problem with cancerous cells is that since they don't allow your digestive system to function. You die because you can't create energy or you can't purge waste. So they'd stop growing because of the lack of energy.
Ok what if we use the cancerous cells to replace our old cells but we use parts of DNA from our old cells with parts of the cancerous cells creating a new kind of cells that would be the best of both worlds??? Therefore the DNA information contained in the cell will still be the same from the sister cancerous cell and the sister normal cell. Is this possible need an answer :)
@H8tinVidz No. The problem with cancerous cells is that they don't function. The only thing they do is divide and they are stuck in that process. You die because they take over you healthy cells.
You don't need cancerous cells to be immortal. Besides, senility would get to you before death anyway so you'd still be unconscious. Neurons barely replenish, and they die by the millions. And we don't even have effective therapy to that.
My great grand-father lived to 102.When asked what's the secret he said always keep yourself a little hungry.Imagine my surprise finding a scientist here saying practically the same thing
I'd rather die than see my loved ones die one-by-one.i'll meet some friends, and years will pass they'd die too. I'll see civilization rise and fall until the day the Earth will vanish along with the sun.i'll be floating in space taking in low-density hydrogen in space. I'll be burned by direct EC waves but my skin made EC waves my source of energy and soon adapt again.I know it isn't possible thru Rvrse Aging but immorality is the eternal crave for death =)) I fear Eternity just as i fear death
@uLtimaMusikA Convince your loved ones to come with you; the future has the potential to be infinitely amazing and you would be doing yourself a tremendous disservice if you did not strive to survive long enough to witness it.
You do not need to be eternal, if you ever grow tired of immortality, you could just kill yourself.
@XxDigitalDaftPunkxX i think he means more.... lucky to be alive in like the whole existance of everything... what are the chances of us actually being here? id say over 1 billion to 1
We are all so lucky to be alive, in this universe. And we should take every precaution to make sure we can survive until immortality is possible. I just need to find a way to convince the people who are close to me of this... and I urge you all to do the same.
@nathernrock Lol :P Well, you can live in your illusion, fine by me. If you and/or someone close to you gets the cancer, you'd realize that the "modern medicine" has no cure for it. But hey, continue usign the chemotherapy, drugs and everything that the doctors prescribe. We'll see how you and they're right, and how you'd last... :P
fast a month each year without eating or drinking anything from the moment the sun rises until it sets again (starve ur self) it well help, muslims do that each year, and it helps believe me
immortality isn't going to be all that good. the earth can only hold so much people and if we have thousands of immortals they're going to be a constant drain on resources.
@SaucyYum Most likely after initial anti-aging drugs are released they will be out-lawed. Once we get to the stage where we start to colonize other planets the drugs would probably be re-introduced for those moving off earth in order to stimulate growth of colonies... Sadly I don't think I'll live long enough to exploit that :L
@ParoxysmHD Doesn't work, technology isn't good enough. Once you're frozen the ice crystals rupture cells in the body, although people believe in it it's an urban myth that you could be brought back to life if frozen at incredibely low temperatures.
It would only work if we could ingest a natural anti-freeze in our blood to prevent crystals from expanding and destroying our bodies cells.
@ParoxysmHD Still doesn't work propery, we've only managed to successfully revive small insects and i think eels with cryonics. Not whole mammals. But maybe in 50 years.
@ParoxysmHD Successful cryonics needs to be more focused on preparing the body and freezing properly than the rivival itself. Although both obviously important.
@jackhwo1 Indeed, getting frozen as late as possible (when the freezing process has been refined) should make future revival easier, although I am confident nanotechnology should eventually be able to revive any cryogenically frozen person.
@ParoxysmHD I genuinely hope you're right, I'd like an indefinite life-span. But I'd need to do more research in order to be confident. And right now, I'm tired.
@FreeKicksPFC Who are you to tell him what he wants? In the future, there could be holodecks, libraries of knowledge you could explore with your immortality, we could connect with other advanced civilizations in space - the possibilities are endless.
And if you ever get bored, you can always kill yourself.
@FreeKicksPFC everybody around you would die..... i dont understand why everyone is so scared of deathat the moment its probs innevitable in our life time...
@FreeKicksPFC Science is progressing at a rate comparable to the Scientific Revolution. If you are afraid of losing somebody close to you, get them cryogenically preserved and have faith that future nanotechnology can revive them. If you are not the type to simply "have faith", then become a scientist yourself and make progress in the field. Why am I scared of death? Death is nothingness, you are not conscious of anything. It would be more-or-less the same as how things were before you were born
@ParoxysmHD Actually, when you are unconscious, you don't know that fact. It's not as if you are staying there, waiting for conscious to come. You would probably have no sense of time during that period.
@Cinimod105 When I said that I cannot imagine anything worse than nothingness, I really meant nothingness, not like being restrained in a dark room (which, I think, is what you thought I meant). Not being aware of time (or anything) at all, for eternity, is what I consider - as a conscious person typing this - to be absolute torture. Though I wouldn't think it was torture after being dead, obviously.
Kaku is fast becoming my favorite scientist. We need to clone about 10,000 of him, then put them on a colony on the moon and leave them there for about 50 years. If we are still around then, they can come back and cure all of lives problems. Or decide "fuck that shit" and go explore the universe in their warp drive ships they invent. Either way, I will be happy.
Even if you find the "fountain of youth" to have us live longer, our world would be so over populated in no time at all. Lack of natural resources would be such a huge issue. Its almost like a reenactment of Easter Island.
@TheAfterburn3r U are forgetting two things: Firstly, Most of the people who will use the "fountain of youth" are intelligent and most on the intellectual community holds back from having kids. This is why in Europe most of the countries are having a negative growth rate. Secondly, People who do not use this are usually religious people. Religious populations have positive growth rates. They will grow in numbers but eventually die. Intellects won't.
@masterman3178 lol, if you traveled at the speed of light you wouldn't notice time speeding up or slowing down. Time is relative, therefore from your frame of reference people whom are traveling much slower than the speed of light will appear to you as if time is faster for them. From the frame of reference of someone traveling much slower than light speed it will seem as if time is slowing down significantly for you. it all depends on how you're looking at time.
@masterman3178 but if you took a trip away from earth at the speed of light and returned, you would appear to have aged hardly at all, while earth (and the people on it) might have aged thousands of years.
@speedyguy8 yes i know that but at the speed of light would u still age, time and light are intertwined. This i know, but would u age at all. in my mind even though light and time are intertwined this means time is still a factor in light there for light must age unless it travels faster then time itself.
@masterman3178 you would still age, yes. you would simply age at a slower rate than people that were not traveling at the speed of light. on a side note however, traveling at the speed of light is impossible unless you have zero intrinsic mass. supposedly :/
@speedyguy8 i know its impossible well so far its impossible but thats not to say science wont trump that. not being able to travel at light speed is a theory and as many of us know theories can be proven wrong. it happens every day in the science community.
What would happen if you would take litres of your own blood out and freeze while you're still young and then re inject it when your old ?? Im not a biologist or nothing, just a curious question. Wouldn't it restore your dna string ?
@ReZeeR93 Blood has a shelf life, even when preserved very well, but as to the essence of your question, I believe it wouldn't have any significant effect, You may feel a little more energized as the blood would be better at oxygenating your cells, but the blood wouldn't stay in your system very long as it is constantly being replaced by your body.
He really should just use the word "aglet" to describe the plastic tip of a shoelace. Any kid with a television will probably know what they're called anyways.
Kaku says that we coudl unravel this process in the coming decades. We'll say 30 years. Lets then add an extra 10 years for companies and governments to figure out how best to produce and distribute this. So that's 40 years. 2052. I'll be 63. Hmm, that's not too bad. Just have to make sure I live that long now.
see this Lady, she says you can replace FUEL RODS with Natural GAs and Nuclear Plants will put out 8 times more ELECTRICITY, on youtube see ==loren moret bio scientist lawrence livermore. scnn#88
and Video on youtube=Leuren Moret exposes Fukushima-HAARP bankers, partners, sponsors, money trail
so basically what your saying is that if i inject red wine directly into my blood stream i'll have a 30% life span?? does the age of the wine have anything to do with it or can i just go out and buy some cheap stuff? (jk no one inject red wine i take no responsibility -_- )
@GerardoIx Drinking water is the lamest argument ever. We have enough drinking water for everyone on Earth a billion times over. The other great thing about water is you can drink the same water forever. It doesn't change!!! There are plenty of resources for infinite population especially if we move off into space. We have plenty now and as countries become more educated the people already tend to have less children. The growth will level off naturally or we can go to space.
@TheSenseiClay There is no good section of Youtube. Don't you know the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory? I bet most of the assholes on Youtube who spew racist and sexist things would never have the balls to say the same things IRL because they'd get punched in the face repeatedly. The day they come up with an app to punch people over the internet I will be a very happy camper.
@relmneiko the scariest thing is that they exist and they are pulling the human race down. Can't even wait until they die b/c they teach it to their kids and others, especially through youtube.
If you're content that you may die in several years, you hate yourself; if you're not content, do something about it. If you have a spare minute, educate yourself on biological aging; if you have a spare dollar, invest it in aging research
@fglp666 Yes, there's always a chance of anything. It depends how old you are now, how often you're involved in dangerous activities (e.g., mining) and whether you have any life-threatening illnesses (e.g., diabetes). You better watch your health, get screened regularly and stay up-to-date on news about senescence. If you will live up to the next life-extending remedy and take advantage of it, you'll have better chances of living up to another one because your life expectancy would lengthen.
@fglp666 If they find it they wouldn't make it available to you or me... because if nobody died and we would still make babies, there will not be any room left on the planet :) only the elite would have access to this "youth fountain"
@Zebonka I was with you until the words 'assorted nigger music' came up. Maybe youtube should block the accounts of anyone who types 'assorted nigger music' and then the intelligence of our species might go up.
@Maper555 Please look at statistics before spouting off nonsense. There is more than enough food to feed a population of 10 billion. And more than enough room to house a population of 30 billion.
@X7ELI7X Show a kid michio kaku and now hes the worlds next top rocket scientist. LOL. Please dont pretend you know what im talking about. Who said i was talking about food and housing? I sure didnt. Please dont boast of something you claim to know without knowing what someone is even talking about. Such nonsense you bring. p.s. bitch
Instead of just 'looking' at 'numbers' why don't you take the time to actually understand what they mean and a;lkdfaks;ldhf what the fuck am I doing arguing with an eleven year old on the internet. Look what my life has become.
You're still incompetent, though. But you're 11, you're entitled to be wrong, it's just your fucking arrogance is what gets me.
@0000infinity0000 Your lack of desire for a better, more prosperous, beneficial, successful world, is what really bothers me. My arrogance doesn't stem from me being pessimistic, like you. Nor am I optimistic.If anything, it's simply opportunistic. You have to look at what mathematics really allows.
@0000infinity0000 We could manage to support 20 billion. And you're asking why we're having hunger problems? Are you completely ignorant of everything that's happened over the past millenia? We have created a value system that disguises our ability to help, it also seems to be taking the minds of people like you away entirely. This has happened because it was inevitable, how much longer do you think this delusion can last? With all these magnificent things we could do, appearing on the horizon?
Exactly. We CAN, but we're not going to. It's not realistic. We as a species wont be able to care for each other like you'd like to see happen. I'd love for it to become a reality in my lifetime too, but it wont. We're too immature as a species for that to happen before we kill ourselves. We made it through the Cold War and learned to live with nuclear weapons, but that doesn't mean it's sunshine and daisies from here on out. We've got a long way to go, and I'm realistic,not optimistic

@ParoxysmHD Still doesn't work propery, we've only managed to successfully revive small insects and i think eels with cryonics. Not whole mammals. But maybe in 50 years.
jackhwo1 5 days ago
@jackhwo1 The whole point of Cryonics is that in the future, technology should be advanced enough to revive you.
ParoxysmHD 5 days ago
@ParoxysmHD Successful cryonics needs to be more focused on preparing the body and freezing properly than the rivival itself. Although both obviously important.
jackhwo1 5 days ago
@jackhwo1 Indeed, getting frozen as late as possible (when the freezing process has been refined) should make future revival easier, although I am confident nanotechnology should eventually be able to revive any cryogenically frozen person.
Last in, first out.

FreeKicksPFC 5 days ago
@FreeKicksPFC Science is progressing at a rate comparable to the Scientific Revolution. If you are afraid of losing somebody close to you, get them cryogenically preserved and have faith that future nanotechnology can revive them. If you are not the type to simply "have faith", then become a scientist yourself and make progress in the field. Why am I scared of death? Death is nothingness, you are not conscious of anything. It would be more-or-less the same as how things were before you were born

@ParoxysmHD ... to me that would be torture, to not be conscious. I cannot imagine anything worse than eternal nothingness.
ParoxysmHD 4 days ago
@ParoxysmHD Actually, when you are unconscious, you don't know that fact. It's not as if you are staying there, waiting for conscious to come. You would probably have no sense of time during that period.
Cinimod105 4 days ago
@Cinimod105 When I said that I cannot imagine anything worse than nothingness, I really meant nothingness, not like being restrained in a dark room (which, I think, is what you thought I meant). Not being aware of time (or anything) at all, for eternity, is what I consider - as a conscious person typing this - to be absolute torture. Though I wouldn't think it was torture after being dead, obviously.

Kaku is fast becoming my favorite scientist. We need to clone about 10,000 of him, then put them on a colony on the moon and leave them there for about 50 years. If we are still around then, they can come back and cure all of lives problems. Or decide "fuck that shit" and go explore the universe in their warp drive ships they invent. Either way, I will be happy.

@TheAfterburn3r U are forgetting two things: Firstly, Most of the people who will use the "fountain of youth" are intelligent and most on the intellectual community holds back from having kids. This is why in Europe most of the countries are having a negative growth rate. Secondly, People who do not use this are usually religious people. Religious populations have positive growth rates. They will grow in numbers but eventually die. Intellects won't.

if you went light speed would u stop ageing or would only the time around u seem to stop.
masterman3178 1 week ago
@masterman3178 lol, if you traveled at the speed of light you wouldn't notice time speeding up or slowing down. Time is relative, therefore from your frame of reference people whom are traveling much slower than the speed of light will appear to you as if time is faster for them. From the frame of reference of someone traveling much slower than light speed it will seem as if time is slowing down significantly for you. it all depends on how you're looking at time.

@masterman3178 but if you took a trip away from earth at the speed of light and returned, you would appear to have aged hardly at all, while earth (and the people on it) might have aged thousands of years.

@speedyguy8 yes i know that but at the speed of light would u still age, time and light are intertwined. This i know, but would u age at all. in my mind even though light and time are intertwined this means time is still a factor in light there for light must age unless it travels faster then time itself.
masterman3178 1 week ago
@masterman3178 you would still age, yes. you would simply age at a slower rate than people that were not traveling at the speed of light. on a side note however, traveling at the speed of light is impossible unless you have zero intrinsic mass. supposedly :/

@speedyguy8 i know its impossible well so far its impossible but thats not to say science wont trump that. not being able to travel at light speed is a theory and as many of us know theories can be proven wrong. it happens every day in the science community.

@ReZeeR93 Blood has a shelf life, even when preserved very well, but as to the essence of your question, I believe it wouldn't have any significant effect, You may feel a little more energized as the blood would be better at oxygenating your cells, but the blood wouldn't stay in your system very long as it is constantly being replaced by your body.

@GerardoIx Drinking water is the lamest argument ever. We have enough drinking water for everyone on Earth a billion times over. The other great thing about water is you can drink the same water forever. It doesn't change!!! There are plenty of resources for infinite population especially if we move off into space. We have plenty now and as countries become more educated the people already tend to have less children. The growth will level off naturally or we can go to space.

fglp666 2 weeks ago
@fglp666 Yes, there's always a chance of anything. It depends how old you are now, how often you're involved in dangerous activities (e.g., mining) and whether you have any life-threatening illnesses (e.g., diabetes). You better watch your health, get screened regularly and stay up-to-date on news about senescence. If you will live up to the next life-extending remedy and take advantage of it, you'll have better chances of living up to another one because your life expectancy would lengthen.
