The second law, not the third law. The third law is pretty esoteric; the second law is a wide ranging and profound discovery that sets limits on the effective use of energy.

The article seems to state that living until 120 is probably achievable. "If it helps more of us live healthy lives up to the ceiling of some 120 years, that would be welcome progress, but let's not delude ourselves into believing radical life extension is around the corner." By radical I assume he means beyond 120.

Misses like these make me even more skeptical, sorry.

Finally where is an overview of the huge breakthroughs of the last two years..."numerous other advances"?

research some of the items i mentioned. regarding summaries or overviews, google it maybe? not my source of info. i have several direct plugs, coupled with my interest and piles of research i have poured through. oh, yeah my bad. he did use 2nd law, not third. still irrelevant.

breaking into second post cause line breaks dont work for me. as a starting point look at cellular senescence and senolytics, restoration and rejuvenation of mitochondrial function, NAD+ via things like NR/NAM, AGEs AGE inhibitors and breakers, increased understanding of DNA expression/RNA, and how tech like CRISPR or similar can be used. just a starting point to get a better idea of the big picture. there is so so so much more.

My very best friend, Cocoa Beach local, is having open heart surgery on Tuesday. Some is genetic, but a lot is lifestyle. For your health. Consider where you are at. Check those blood chems. Review your diet, exercise. Other wise: when and where is the paddle out?

So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.

Yep, and then factor in our environment. Styrofoam and bleached paper cups filled with scalding hot liquid, plastic packaging made God knows where and under God knows what conditions, vegetable soaked in weed killer, heavy metals in fish, carcinogens in farm raised seafood, exhaust spewing from the truck in front to you, micro plastics everywhere...

Either science needs to get busy or we need to get smarter about our physical world.

I was right.

When I was growing up it was, , , , "Better living through chemistry".
