A renowned futurist says that nanobots may be the key to stopping human aging and giving us the ability to live for thousands of years.
Immortality. It’s an age-old idea that has plagued humankind for centuries. Many men over the years have sought to find some way to live forever, but futurist Raymond Kurzweil believes he may have found the best way forward. According to Kurzweil’s new book, nanorobots may be the key to stopping human aging and letting us live for thousands of years. Of course, there are many concerns about the possibility of living for thousands of years—let alone forever.
See, one of the biggest issues with aging is that our bodies and cells start to accumulate errors as more cells reproduce over and over. Many anti-aging therapies seek to cut down on these errors, allowing the body to repair itself more quickly—thus slowing down aging as a whole. For Kurzweil, the only solution here is to “cure aging itself.” A lofty goal, for certain.
