One Innovation most are awaiting - Longevity




Interlude
on
Longevity

I promised to pass on a couple of links I had on the Longevity theme, all the more relevant these days since a lot of people take Mars exploration oh so seriously, while others would like to stick around to see what will be the result of the Day's Big Matches "Burned or flooded or gased by climate change or frozen by either ocean current path change and lack of easily controllable energy (coal, oil, or petrol...) The other questions I had to ask myself was on which on my blogs to post the Longevity Links. Post it on:
-the current pages "Conversation-on-Innovations"?
-or on my newer "The Materials Chemists"? A bit of Alchemy could be helpful in these endeavors.
-or a bit poetic on "No_Holds_Bard"? Why not? Two links on serious science, more to come
-or again on "Metallurgy-Materials Science and Engineering"?.

That could be OK too, because one approach uses the classical engineering components bath-tub model made famous in the semi-con industry, remember, "Lots of failure at start-up (infant mortality!) things in life settle down to a standard steady state then old age, lack of energy, fossil or otherwise, or catastrophic climate-change or something catches up with the weeker "older generation" and Bye bye to the beautiful blue planet. Some of this may even shorten the steady state of current beatitude enjoyed by some.

Choices will wait: here are my longevity links:

1. "Longevity-Science Institute".

and

2. "The BBC Reith Lectures 2001: The End of Age".
