      I advise you to get interested in God. You were born into sin and Jesus died to free you from eternal hell. Repent. This life is but a moment. Next is eternity with, or without, God.

    This is all I want, I want to live for as long as possible, hell immortality sounds splendid to me. Why? Because I have an undying curiosity about the Universe around me, and I want to know how it will evolve. That includes our species, Earth herself, Mother Nature, etc. I want to see us go interstellar damn it!

    • @valerieobrien5521

      Still a very handsome man ! Young attitude and loves learning !!
      And the Bible says Psalm 103 verses 1 to 3 , Bless the Lord , oh my soul and FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS . verse 2 says " Who forgiveth all thine iniquities , and :who fills thy mouth with good things SO THAT THY YOUTH is RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLE'S ect ..." As Derek Prince emphasised, there is a
      connection between having your mouth filled with good things, and having your youth renewed like the eagle's . !
      This can be taken to mean two things it can indicate the importance of a decent diet , or even the wholesomeness of what we say when we speak.
      In a passage of the NEW Testament, Paul asks " He who would see MANY GOOD DAYS - Let his lips refrain from evil , and his mouth from speaking lies. "

      Don't think we can figure it all out in the few decades we have left, so here's the plan...
      1. Save tissue samples of yourself, any cell can be used to clone you, but not the unique connections of your brain's neurons that compose your consciousness, that's step 2.
      2. Save a brain scan of those trillions of connections in the brain on a flash drive (we can scan individual atoms now, tech may be avail in decades), store in a box with tissue samples.
      3. In a 1000 years when future scientist reconstruct your body and your unique neuronal connections in the brain from the DNA and brain scan, you wake up 20 with all the awesomesauce of the future...kind of like if we brought a dark ages person to modern times, but better.

I had a Cardiac Arrest at the age of 74 and from that event my health has regressed to worse levels .I think it's too late to do anything about my health . I also have cataracts and this was the result of medication for the heart problems. I wish there was a natural way instead of pharmaceutical drugs to put my health right ! Given up !

      Well, humans did that in the past and very few reached the age of 30. By doing this alone we're going anywhere further than today's expectancy. Vegetables are also packed with agrotoxics and organic food isn't affordable and practical for most people. So I guess the key must be in science, drugs, treatments that can heal us and prevent us from getting old and die.

    What he says is true. People always get my age wrong even if I give them multiple tries. Here's what I do: eat only unit I no longer FEEL hungry, even if it only takes one or two bites - then stop. Put the food away for when I FEEL hungry again. Repeat the process until you are able to eat less often too. This does not reverse aging, it only slows it. I'm 37 and people think I'm 22 - 25, facially and bodily.

    Interesting idea: If cancer is a collection of immortal cells that keep growing and growing and growing until it impedes the other body functions, what would happen if a person's ENTIRE body was comprised of immortal cells? Would that person be theoretically immune to the effects of aging? Or would that person's body keep growing at such a rate that they would eventually become gigantic in size?

    Kaku isn't talking about fasting for a bit. He's talking about a change in your diet. Eat 30% less and you'll live longer.
    I was born with a really crappy body. I ate a lot in the beginning part of my (30 year) life. My body started to break down rapidly. Then I started to eat a lot less and did a lot better; less injury and more energy. Now I eat 1 to 2 small meals a day and have more energy than anyone I work with. I also go for hour long hike/hunts every day. This is on top of the fact that I have a fresh knee injury.
    Eat less, exercise more. It will improve your life.

Now something less "bitchy"- I cherish life just as much as any other right headed being on this planet. "Life" has such high value because of its limits! We are productive because we are in a race against time since the day we're born and we do anything possible to make our journy more comfortable. Being on a journey with no destination makes it pointless. MANY remarkable people had a short but intense lifes - Martin Luther King, Jr., Jimmy Hendrix, Elvis, FREDDIE MERCURY and a little girl called Anne Frank! On the other hand many lived beyomd 100 and yet this is the only thing they acomplished!

      Marina Toshkovska Life has such high value not because of its limits, but because of its rarity in the known universe (especially talking about intelligent life). The "natural" limits of our life have been pushed forward many times during history, and i'm sure that you wouldn't refuse to receive a cure against whatsoever disease. This is exactly the point. I don't see any beauty in the progressive accumulation of cellular damage in our body that eventually leads to death. Anyway, your mood is very common between people; i don't know, it's probably related with the fact that thinking to the possibilities of these new technologies implies an all-out change on the perspective that one have with his idea of life...anyway, i'm already trying to do the best that i can with this life, and i'm not by any mean scared by its possible end. What i hope is that more and more people, you included, will eventually understand that to expand our experience as humans could give us the chance to eliminate a lot of suffering in this world.

    "So we have to make sure that when you hit ordinary cells with Telomerase that you don't also 'trigger' cancer in the process." -Michio Kaku
    I have a problem with how he used the word 'trigger' in this sentence. Telomerase doesn't 'trigger' cancer cells, it just rebuilds Telomeres. The problem with aging is that genetic errors pose a cumulative effect in the body, eventually resulting in a variety of age-related diseases including cancer. Consuming Telomerase does not remove these unhealthy cells, rather, -it prevents further genetic degeneration of the healthy ones. If you wanted to significantly prolong your life expectancy, you would have to find some way of targeting those unhealthy cells and removing them from the body. Think of it like taking out the 'cellular trash.' Michio Kaku failed to mention this.
    As it turns out, 'Phytocannabinoids' have a recognized ability to selectivity stimulate apoptosis in unhealthy cells, causing their mitochondria to shut-down. This results in the death of that cell. Several scientific, peer-reviewed studies demonstrate this unique ability in a variety of 'cannabinoids,' which have led to the promising THC cancer research we hear so much about in the media.
    I hypothesize that consuming telomerase enzymes and phytocannabinoids together could significantly increase your longevity and dramatically reduce instances of age-related illness. 'The Fountain of Youth' - If I had the scientific tools to conduct a proper experiment, I would most certainly do so regardless of legality.
    Perhaps this is why marijuana is still classified as a 'schedule 1 narcotic' drug with high potential for abuse and zero medicinal value. Come to think of it, sickly old people are fantastic for the economy! No doubt about that!

    • @TonyMontana-zk6ib
      @TonyMontana-zk6ib 8 років тому

      If you starve you won't last long, i mean the diet will eventually break. What you need is intermittent fasting. I followed reduce the food intake by such and such percentage rule and it worked really well for me. Its a complicated process to discuss but it worked. The basic rule is flexibility and adopting. You must not starve and you shouldn't eat like you did before either, you should play see-saw between the two so that the result would be extensively reduced food intake thereby calories without prolonged starving. Be ready for anemia.

      The problem is the Bible is just words, the principle is imaginary. Faith is just thoughts inside your head and you can't make them manifest. The magic in the scripture, i.e. Jesus's miracles, Shadrach & Meshach in the fire, etc, cannot be replicated physically today. Likewise, waking up in a paradise Earth after death isn't something we can prove is possible in this reality.
      However, when science eventually makes this a possibility and then a reality, it follows, you could resurrect someone from samples of their DNA once we have the technology.
      Whether or not your consciousness can resurrect as well is another matter, otherwise it'd be just a clone of yourself many years in the future. You, but not you as you are now with all of your thoughts and memories.

      bloodybukshot Oh no, really? Where did I say I didn't believe in the spiritual or the creator? I'm merely pointing out facts. Faith is entirely in your head and there has been no record of a physically proven miracle.
      God's will is manifest through your actions, it doesn't just appear like manna from heaven. You have to make it happen.

    As much as I'd like to see 2514 and feel/look like I do now at 28, I'm sure I'd get bored along the way. I can't imagine paying taxes, being married, or working that long. That'd suck more than it'd be cool.

      And what makes you think that you'd still be working and paying taxes 500 years from now, or that the concept of marriage will even still exist then? This is a common error people make when considering a future technology...they blindly assume everything else will remain the same. Hollywood moves are notorious for this - they show a future with advance artificial intelligence and robots (such as the movies A.I. and I Robot), yet the humans haven't changed one iota, and still live & die pretty much like they do today. This is ridiculous. Fact is, humans are starting to take control of their own evolution already today, and by the time we have technologies like advanced AI or faster-than-light travel, we almost certainly will have replaced or augmented our bodies with much more capable non-biological parts. Indeed, the world will be completely different in most every aspect 500 years from now, or even 50 years from now.

    In India, ladies used to do lots of fasting and those who did that actually lived long. Then there was a ritual for widow ladies in North India called "Maas" when they went into nirjala, that is even without water fasting for 21 days or a month by the side of river Ganges. It took them some time to recover, but then they were healthier and lived longer. May be other than caloric restriction, fasting also helps in this way.
