      I advise you to get interested in God. You were born into sin and Jesus died to free you from eternal hell. Repent. This life is but a moment. Next is eternity with, or without, God.

Because I have an undying curiosity about the Universe around me, and I want to know how it will evolve. That includes our species, Earth herself, Mother Nature, etc. I want to see us go interstellar damn it!

    • @valerieobrien5521

      Still a very handsome man ! Young attitude and loves learning !!
      And the Bible says Psalm 103 verses 1 to 3 , Bless the Lord , oh my soul and FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS . verse 2 says " Who forgiveth all thine iniquities , and :who fills thy mouth with good things SO THAT THY YOUTH is RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLE'S ect ..." As Derek Prince emphasised, there is a
      connection between having your mouth filled with good things, and having your youth renewed like the eagle's . !
      This can be taken to mean two things it can indicate the importance of a decent diet , or even the wholesomeness of what we say when we speak.
      In a passage of the NEW Testament, Paul asks " He who would see MANY GOOD DAYS - Let his lips refrain from evil , and his mouth from speaking lies. "

      Don't think we can figure it all out in the few decades we have left, so here's the plan...
      1. Save tissue samples of yourself, any cell can be used to clone you, but not the unique connections of your brain's neurons that compose your consciousness, that's step 2.
      2. Save a brain scan of those trillions of connections in the brain on a flash drive (we can scan individual atoms now, tech may be avail in decades), store in a box with tissue samples.
      3. In a 1000 years when future scientist reconstruct your body and your unique neuronal connections in the brain from the DNA and brain scan, you wake up 20 with all the awesomesauce of the future...kind of like if we brought a dark ages person to modern times, but better.

I had a Cardiac Arrest at the age of 74 and from that event my health has regressed to worse levels .I think it's too late to do anything about my health . I also have cataracts and this was the result of medication for the heart problems. I wish there was a natural way instead of pharmaceutical drugs to put my health right ! Given up !

      Well, humans did that in the past and very few reached the age of 30. By doing this alone we're going anywhere further than today's expectancy. Vegetables are also packed with agrotoxics and organic food isn't affordable and practical for most people. So I guess the key must be in science, drugs, treatments that can heal us and prevent us from getting old and die.

    What he says is true. People always get my age wrong even if I give them multiple tries. Here's what I do: eat only unit I no longer FEEL hungry, even if it only takes one or two bites - then stop. Put the food away for when I FEEL hungry again. Repeat the process until you are able to eat less often too. This does not reverse aging, it only slows it. I'm 37 and people think I'm 22 - 25, facially and bodily.

    Interesting idea: If cancer is a collection of immortal cells that keep growing and growing and growing until it impedes the other body functions, what would happen if a person's ENTIRE body was comprised of immortal cells? Would that person be theoretically immune to the effects of aging? Or would that person's body keep growing at such a rate that they would eventually become gigantic in size?

People flying around in space. Transporting yourself to other places. All types of things that if you like to learn you could never get bored with.

    Kaku isn't talking about fasting for a bit. He's talking about a change in your diet. Eat 30% less and you'll live longer.
    I was born with a really crappy body. I ate a lot in the beginning part of my (30 year) life. My body started to break down rapidly. Then I started to eat a lot less and did a lot better; less injury and more energy. Now I eat 1 to 2 small meals a day and have more energy than anyone I work with. I also go for hour long hike/hunts every day. This is on top of the fact that I have a fresh knee injury.
    Eat less, exercise more. It will improve your life.

Now something less "bitchy"- I cherish life just as much as any other right headed being on this planet. "Life" has such high value because of its limits! We are productive because we are in a race against time since the day we're born and we do anything possible to make our journy more comfortable. Being on a journey with no destination makes it pointless. MANY remarkable people had a short but intense lifes - Martin Luther King, Jr., Jimmy Hendrix, Elvis, FREDDIE MERCURY and a little girl called Anne Frank! On the other hand many lived beyomd 100 and yet this is the only thing they acomplished!

    • @ForsakenRainMan527

      Marina Toshkovska Life has such high value not because of its limits, but because of its rarity in the known universe (especially talking about intelligent life). The "natural" limits of our life have been pushed forward many times during history, and i'm sure that you wouldn't refuse to receive a cure against whatsoever disease. This is exactly the point. I don't see any beauty in the progressive accumulation of cellular damage in our body that eventually leads to death. Anyway, your mood is very common between people; i don't know, it's probably related with the fact that thinking to the possibilities of these new technologies implies an all-out change on the perspective that one have with his idea of life...anyway, i'm already trying to do the best that i can with this life, and i'm not by any mean scared by its possible end. What i hope is that more and more people, you included, will eventually understand that to expand our experience as humans could give us the chance to eliminate a lot of suffering in this world.

      The problem is the Bible is just words, the principle is imaginary. Faith is just thoughts inside your head and you can't make them manifest. The magic in the scripture, i.e. Jesus's miracles, Shadrach & Meshach in the fire, etc, cannot be replicated physically today. Likewise, waking up in a paradise Earth after death isn't something we can prove is possible in this reality.
      However, when science eventually makes this a possibility and then a reality, it follows, you could resurrect someone from samples of their DNA once we have the technology.
      Whether or not your consciousness can resurrect as well is another matter, otherwise it'd be just a clone of yourself many years in the future. You, but not you as you are now with all of your thoughts and memories.

This is a common error people make when considering a future technology...they blindly assume everything else will remain the same. Hollywood moves are notorious for this - they show a future with advance artificial intelligence and robots (such as the movies A.I. and I Robot), yet the humans haven't changed one iota, and still live & die pretty much like they do today. This is ridiculous. Fact is, humans are starting to take control of their own evolution already today, and by the time we have technologies like advanced AI or faster-than-light travel, we almost certainly will have replaced or augmented our bodies with much more capable non-biological parts. Indeed, the world will be completely different in most every aspect 500 years from now, or even 50 years from now.

      No one has been a raw vegan long enough to prove your statement. So I wonder how you could possibly know that.

      Facey Neck hi. There's a woman whose name is Anette Larkins who's been a raw vegan for over 30years. Google her and you'll be shocked. Her regime started when she was in her 30s. Today, she's is in her 70s but looks 30years younger. Check her out!

      Well I should have been more clear in my initial comment. What I should have said was, "There have not been any studies on being raw vegan carried out over 20 years or more that one would need to make such a statement."

    The best strategy is high carbohydrate low protein low fat as longevity research from univ of Sydney shows. Caloric restriction only benefits high protein diets. Resveratrol does not work. Eat whole food plant based diet rich in starchy staples, fiber. Gut microbiome is critical part of it.

      +The Artificial Society wrong. eating a high carb diet will end up feeding cancer cells since Cancer grows while Glucose is present in the body. The real key is eating low carb, low protein, high healthy fats. The goal is to adapt the body to use ketones as fuel rather than glucose, then cancer cells die.

      +Shadowpalm oh my, that's not what mice studies show at all. Nor survival studies on people and general health studies. As example, you can live on potatoes but if you only ate lean meat you would die from protein poisoning. You need to learn more. Suggest you read Blue Zones book. Healthy diet is not rocket science but you need to get the accurate information. Even look in Bible in Daniel and Genesis. See what the Seventh Day Adventists do. Please learn more.

      Pretty sure the preferred fuel source of the brain is ketones.

      It's a known fact cancer tumors run on glucose and has a very abnormal increased amount of glucose pathways. Vitamin C is very close to glucose in structure and gets absorbed through the glucose pathways and changed to peroxide in the cancer cell because it processes the vitamin C abnormally and that kills it. The issue is keeping ones vitamin C levels high enough in the bloodstream consistently and enough of it among other issues. It helps that's for sure.

    I quit a years long 2 pack a day smoking habit about a month ago and look 10 years younger already. I hope that Dr. Kaku is right about cell regeneration, because I have been smoking for almost 40 years!

    People saying "I would not want to live forever, just a few hundred years will do". This is a common thing that most people fail to realize, is that when those few hundred years come to an end, and you are about to face death, you will guaranteed want another few hundred years, etc etc. We want to live that is in our nature, therefore you can't put a specific "deadline" (pun intended) or set lifespan. As humans we are not very proficient in predictive thinking, understanding that perspectives you have presently will change with the time. "i would only like to live to so and so" No you don't know that, you have no idea what you want in 200 years from now if you are still alive.
