2045: The Year Man Becomes Immortal
    #13975669 - 02/16/11 08:14 PM (13 years, 17 days ago)

I read an article in Time Magazine today about the progress of humans and technology and in it they talk about an idea called 'The Singularity'; where humans will know the recipe for immortality and it will come from the end of the Human Era, where machines and humans merge.

It also talks about an experiment they did with age degenerated Lab Mice and administered an enzyme called 'Telomerase' to stop the aging process; it worked & the mice actually got younger too.

I still haven't decided what I think about everything I took in, so I'm gonna post it here to maybe spark up some conversation about it.

We'll all be old men by that point lol. I'd prefer to stay at 25 years old or something not almost 60.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind staying 27 for a while...    From what I read, they'll have the technology to reverse your age to whatever you want though...  one day you'll see 250 year old guys walking around looking 25.

mind boggling.

but the true most inovvative advances that will be made we probably arent even talking about, kinda how "flying cars" or "jetpacks" were the talk of the future for people in the 50's and 60's or whatever, but computers ended up being the thing to change the world.

its awesome to speculate though. And nano technology is making merging with machines inevitable.

I think it will really make the rich more rich and powerful and idk what it will do to us :shrug:

long as dr0ogz get legalized soon im chillin, open up a pot  shop. Grow old (or young ) and talk to bunch of people.. idk

Do we have immortal cars, computers, or washing machines? No. Man will never be "immortal."

I don't think we will ever become immortal no matter how much we know! That certainly doesn't mean this technology won't work... I know that we could eventually learn how to prolong life, even double our lifespan! But organs fail for reasons other than aging. So unless you wanna keep getting organ transplants, no one will live forever IMO!

:lol:

What the fuck is immortality anyway?

Give me a real definition please. Hard to base something on a beginning and an end when both things in themselves are illusions created by us in the first place.
