The article from NextBigFuture discusses the concept of "longevity escape velocity," a point where medical advancements extend human life expectancy faster than time passes, potentially allowing people to live indefinitely. It highlights that despite skepticism, significant progress in longevity research continues, with key developments expected by 2040. The article mentions ongoing research in areas like senolytics, which remove senescent cells, and gene therapies aimed at repairing DNA damage. It also references the work of notable figures like Aubrey de Grey, who remains optimistic about achieving this escape velocity. The piece argues that while there are hurdles, the pace of scientific breakthroughs, especially in biotechnology and AI-driven drug discovery, could converge to make longevity escape velocity a reality, potentially transforming human health and aging.
