A new treatment that blocks an aging-related protein restored lost cartilage in old mice and helped prevent arthritis after knee injuries. Human cartilage samples showed similar signs of regeneration, raising hopes for a future drug that could repair joints instead of replacing them.
No worries about that, there is no changing the maximum age seemingly, not unless you genetically engineered babies with tech we don’t have yet.
Everyone is born with stem cells that carry so many copies of cells that are preprogrammed to die after a point to then be replaced by those stem cells. No drug can make more copies after the fact.
Then of course the dna gets denatured just by radiation and pollution and time.
Neither of these will or can be solved after someone is born. They can extend the average lifespan of a group, but they can’t exceed the maximum, which has remained constant throughout human history even as the average has changed drastically.
All of those things seem to be related to information processing, not any inherent property of atoms.
“Then of course the dna gets denatured just by radiation and pollution and time.”
Pretty sure “dna” isn’t just present in one cell in the body.
Also, how can two thirty year olds make a zero year old baby?
Have you read anything about this before espousing your grand pronouncements here?
Seriously, like, you are so far in left field here, I can’t even respond.

But lay on MacDuff, pour your great knowledge upon me. Tell me how a carbon atom knows it’s in a thirty year old body or 95 year old?
“Also, how can two thirty year olds make a zero year old baby?”
Surely you can respond to this puzzler? Even if I’m in the left field of the Andromeda Galaxy?
Explain away, professor!
If you want to address the scientific points I made, I will respond. Your poetry is neither here nor there, pal.
What’s the maximum? About 120?
Imagine having 100 or more healthy years. That seems like sci-fi, but may be possible one day still.
It will also mean working until you’re 100 before the national pension kicks in unfortunately lol
Around 120 is maximum yes. I think some french woman might have gotten near 130 but I forget.
Unless you believe the bible, in which case hundreds and hundreds of years. And woman was made from man’s rib. Makes sense.
Ngl, you had me in the first half…
They nearly had me in the first quarter, but now I no longer believe I’ll ever see it. Not enough young people are born. My generation is enough to support the current old people, but there won’t be enough people to support my generation.
Are there enough people at the current system where the top 1% get 99% of the resources? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But there will 100% be enough people to keep the basics going
We are thousands of times more efficient than we were a couple hundred years ago.
