How Long Will You Live?

What a terrible thumb nail

And so from hour to hour we ripe and ripe
And then from hour to hour we rot and rot

What's passing behind you at 5:33? 😮

That thumbnail didn't age well. I'll see myself out...

Not too long,i hope

Mathematician's need to find the algorithm for Telomeres cells Mathematical modeling 😂😂😂
I am not sure, it was published before 😅

2:35 That plastic at the end of a shoelace is called an aglet.

FFFF life

All humans will, without exception, eventually die.

but that won't make you old

i mean he is 40

Peoples still lives till 100’s in the 1600-1700’s so relax

What a video, wow!

If having long telomeres cause cancer does that mean lobsters get more cancer

also in film theory, matpat explains that minions are like lobsters because they regenerate and the only way to kill them is to destroy the telomerase

YES!!! FINALLY!!! I LOOOOOVEEE!!!! YOU!!!! And how does the world time this so perfectly for me???
I, female 19, am VERY into science, and have new questions everyday. I have been following this channel since Corona, and decided to watch every video from beginning to end. (I do that with a lot of other channels too, so it takes a lot of time).
About a month or two ago, I came across a question in my mind I hadn't thought about before. (Theres a lot in there, and im watching videos to explain every single one of them. But by doing that I find channels like this where I wanna watch every video they have, so it takes time before I get the answers.) Back to the question: How do we get old??? Like I was told cells replicate themselves all the time, and molecules and atoms doesn't get old or gets destroyed without any reason. So I really could not get my head around this one...
But thanks to this video now I can!!! <3

The more I hear about these anti aging sciences the more I picture an awesome horror movie idea; we do it , we create human immortality, but after 2 or 3 hundred years we turn into a blob that secretes caustic chemicals as a result of living too long so basically were all immobilized and screaming in Pain, never able to reproduce and teach our lesson, but doomed to a lifelong hell watching and suffering as other species become intelligent and eventually do the same to themselves until the end of the world .... It'd be cool, any producers out there? Lol

Ok so working out causes cancer. Got it.





Please know I'm joking LOL

This is making the massive assumption that society doesn’t collapse because of climate change.

Of course fate takes a hand, but it very much depends on your lifestyle, from about 80 on its money in the bank, you are doing well. A finite life span is natural, its what we are designed for. To live forever would be the worst curse you could ever inflict on anyone, and the World.

Who the hell wants to live forever? I’m 43 and if the world continues on the track it’s on, I’m not sure I want to live much longer. Besides, our bodies are not designed to live forever for a reason

In Quran it says Noe used to preach people for 950 years
Accordingly his people lived somewhere same amount of years. Adam was 1000 years old when died. People in past used to live longer not shorter. If you refer to higher quality medicine in our days its true but people in past didn’t have that much all types of deceases as we have now so they need less doctors help.

Is it me or he looks like Nayib Bukele cousin?

Do lobsters have cancer? Why can they live fine with long telomeres

Wouldn't want to live forever. 80 years is more than long enough for me

My great-grandfather lived for 120 years

Good joke

Human will achieve immortality but I don't recommend it, you'll end up into endless suffering.

Honestly, I just don't want to be a wrinkly grey-haired useless woman who can’t remember stuff in my ripe age. If I can get older and be able to sustain my body slowing down aging or even biologically reverse aging to my prime, that is ideal. Obviously, nobody can live forever, but I feel like we can live a lot longer, so why not slow our age rather than age slowing us down? This is why I am constantly taking Dr. Sinclair’s NMN, a NAD booster and indeed a health provider. With NMN Vitruvin Nutrition (500mg) a day every morning with protein drink and Greek yogurt, it has radically changed everything. All sorts of problems have disappeared. Now, age is just a number.

It's not an immortal cell or cancer. Dumb to assert such a dichotomy.

really, lobsters can live forever ?? maybe the lobsters dna that makes the lobster live forever, can be made into a virus to vaccinate a human with, to implant that dna into human cells. the human would then live forever too, if that is done successfully.

Why do I click on videos asking a question that literally doesn't have a correct answer

Some people want to live forever! But why? In my case 60 is enough!

I'm not sure there's anything that frightens me as much as the idea that anyone could become immortal. Every time life expectancy jumps again, it makes me wonder just how soon it'll be figure out.

so cure to cancer is to kill those cells?

Thank you for the video, a link to GE channel in the description would be appreciated

You look like Jonas Aden!

1:30 - Why do we age, why does our body decay? Well, because otherwise evolution wouldn't work. Resources are finite. If we'd last forever, this planet couldn't accommodate our descendants. As a consequence: the planet wouldn't be able to accommodate us, as there would be no room left with all the early life still crawling around. Death, unfortunately, is the only way a species is able to adapt to new circumstances, which in turn is the only way the species is able to survive long term. Or to put it succinctly: short term death is necessary for long term survival.

That said, nothing suggests it's impossible for a species to gain immortality and yet survive through the aeons. It would only require the species to become advanced enough to compensate for what it now lacks from nature. We already do that to an extent: we have airplanes so we can fly, even though nature never provided for wings in our body plan. More relevant to this question: we have medicine to stave off disease and live longer. This is a precursor to even more advanced medicine and technology that has the potential to prolong our lifespans even more.

The greater portion of increased life expectancy came from just two factors: better sanitation, and antibiotics. We've maxed out the first and the second is fading due to over-use of antibiotics leading to highly resistant bacteria. All other factors are negligible. Furthermore, as people become even more indolent and even more obese, life expectancy in the West is actually - for the first time in history outside of war zones - decreasing due to a huge increase in lifestyle-associated diseases. There is thus no reason for optimism regarding any further meaningful extension of the human lifespan. Furthermore, why would we wish to extend life at huge cost when most people simply sleepwalk through it anyway?

Actually, ageing is vastly more complicated than telomere shortening. Yes, immortality of cells is dependent on telomeres not shortening. But there is a huge difference between individual cells and organisms, where cells must grow, proliferate and die in a harmonious fashion. Unlimited cellular replication leads to cancer. Mice, for instance, have much longer telomeres than humana t 50 kilo bases compared to only 7-10 for adult humans, and yet mice live, on average, only 2 years compared to humans who live 40 X longer. In fact, a kew charactersitic of long-lived species are short telomeres. Bowhead whales, for instead, the longest-lived mammals, with a life expectancy of at least 210 years and potentially as much as 270 years, have an average telomere length of 9 kilobases. Hydras are "immortal" because their telomeres never shorten. But, the problem is, when a hydra divides it essentiually "dies" as it becomes two individuals. Or cells also "die" when they divide, as they become two new cells as the parent cell ceases to exist. So there is an issue of semantics here. It depends a lot on your defition of the word "immortality". In complex organisms such as humans, cellular immortality is a bad thing because our cells need to divide in precise cycles, and they must self-destroy when(via apoptosis or necrosis) when they have DNA damage that is too severe to be repaired. Otherwise, cancer.

This video is a dramatic ovrsimplification. In long-lived species such as humans and bowhead whales, telomeres are kept short for cancer-prevention reasons, and the body makes up for that with a alower rate of cellular division, more efficient repair of DNA, and higher levels of antioxidants like catalase and superoxide dismutase to protect the short telomeres from corrosion, as well as stem cell reserves to replace the cells that get killed by out immune systems when their telomeres get too short.

If your telomerase were activated and you experienced no telomere shortening, it would be disastrous. Immortality? No, you would become a huge ball of tumors and die a horrible death. .

My nana lived to 102 years old. Unfortunately, she had dementia for ten years prior to her passing. My grandfather who was a powerfully strong man who was built Ike a brick shithouse, died at 88. He had an incredible life.
I implore you; which would like to have?

Who waaaaants to liiive foreverrrrrrr 🎼

How long? ... Too long ... that's how long I will live!

The question still remains: Why do cells eventually stop dividing.
