Can Humans Really Choose To Live Forever? Experts Claim We Can Achieve Immortality By 2030s - Here's How

Humans have long been captivated by the idea of immortality, a theme pervasive in mythology, religion, and literature. This obsession with transcending the limits of mortality has seen various scientific advancements. So much so, a wild new theory claims immortality could be ours, if we so choose, as early as the 2030s. Here's what you need to know.

Scientists who support the longevity escape velocity theory suggest that we may soon be able to extend our lifespans at a rate faster than the passage of time, potentially achieving immortality.?According to the 'longevity escape velocity,' ageing can become something of an optional thing altogether. The theory leans on the idea that when life expectancy increases at a higher rate than the actual ageing process, people will never actually die.

The main thing to note here is that we all have a 'chronological age' and a 'biological age' which can be slowed down. As a result, a person can have a younger ‘biological age’ than the actual number of years they have been alive. This way, they can extend their remaining life expectancy faster than time passes.

Who is the former Google engineer who supports this theory?

76-year-old Ray Kurzweil, a former Google engineer, has made many an accurate prediction about the future, including how a computer would one day defeat chess champions by 2000.Out of 147 predictions, Kurzweil claims 115 of them were accurate. He had also claimed that humans will be able to achieve immortality, if they so wish, by the 2030s.?

Breakthroughs in genetic engineering, regenerative medicine, and artificial intelligence are working together to extend human lifespan significantly. CRISPR technology, for instance, promises to correct age-related genetic defects, while stem cell research and organ regeneration are close to revealing how aged tissues can be rejuvenated. Moreover, AI-driven healthcare could prevent and manage chronic diseases more effectively, adding to the significant milestone of human longevity.
