>>12567480>>12567620>>12566712'Curing ageing' outright is not physically possible. You need to understand that ageing isn't something abstract, it is a PHYSICAL issue. Ageing is a direct result of the fact that things always increase towards entropy.
There are some tricky-trick ways around this, but I want to hammer home the INDISPUTABLE FACT that you CAN'T stop a system from breaking down over time. Stop thinking you can have a beginning that doesn't imply end. You can't. Entropy is a hard-coded law of the universe you cannot avoid.
Attempts to entirely cure ageing are doomed by physical limits of our universe to fail. I'll tell you in the post underneath the only possible way to live quote un-quote "forever", but first here are some ways to dance around entropy:
>rate of decayJust because things always break down, doesn't mean it's always at the same speed. Perhaps we really could find a way—several different ways in conjunction—that would allow us to increase lifespan from 80 years to 300, but the reason I disdain this is that you would be slowly shriveling away the entire time. You're not FIXING ageing, you're just making it super slow. Shit inside you's still gonna break, and you will not be healthy or feel young for most of those 300 years. You'll be a wreck, a shadow of your former young self.
It would still be nice. I'm not saying it isn't worth looking into, what I'm saying is that this is a band-aid solution that would take a lot of time and energy to figure out and maintain, to the point of being ridiculous.
>non-closed statesThat thing about the universe always increasing towards entropy only applies to closed systems. Your body isn't one—this is the entire reason you are able to live to 80 in the first place. Your body is constantly taking in new fresh material (food) into its system and repairing its own broken-down parts.
