Can humans live for 1,000 years or be immortal? 'Longevity Escape Velocity' explains this process. Here are details

Some scientists seriously believe that by using anti-aging drugs, innovative research in the field of biology and taking the help of AI, humans can live for a thousand of years or even more. They can live forever and defeat death in longer terms, they can become immortal. To solve this problem, scientists have come out with the theory of longevity escape velocity or LEV.

What is longevity escape velocity?

In the field of physics, there is a theory of escape velocity which has been defined as the minimum velocity required by a body to be projected to overcome the gravitational pull of the earth. It is the minimum velocity required by an object to escape the gravitational field that is, escape the land without ever falling back.

Taking a cue from this theory, some biologists have floated the theory of longevity escape velocity, which can be defined as a hypothetical situation in which one's remaining life expectancy is extended longer than the time that is passing, reports the MSN. For example, in a given year in which longevity escape velocity would be maintained, medical advances would increase people's remaining life expectancy more than the year that just went by.

Is it possible?

It is a fact that life expectancy at each age has increased slightly every year as treatment strategies and technologies have improved. Medical experts and scientists believe that the life expectancy in one year can be increased so much that it surpasses one year.

Medical experts and biologists also believe that humans get better at rejuvenating cells, so they can improve the quality of life so exponentially that they can increase their life expectancy faster than they're living. Humans can approach a near-immortal state.

According to the MSN, scientists drafted the "Dublin Longevity Declaration," which urged the entire field of science to focus on reversing biological aging processes at the cellular level.

FAQs:

What is escape velocity?
Escape velocity has been defined as the minimum velocity required by a body to be projected to overcome the gravitational pull of the earth. On the surface of the earth, it is about 11.186 km per second.

What is longevity escape velocity?
The longevity escape velocity or LEV can be defined as a hypothetical situation in which one's remaining life expectancy is extended longer than the time that is passing.
