The Quest for Immortality: A Revolution in Human Longevity
Imagine waking up on your 200th birthday feeling like you're 25. This isn't science fiction-it's the future envisioned by Sergey Young, whose Longevity Vision Fund has committed $100 million to life-extending technologies. After a personal health scare involving high cholesterol, Young dedicated himself to a moonshot goal: helping one billion people live healthy lives well beyond 100 years. We're rapidly approaching what scientists call "longevity escape velocity"-the point where technology extends life expectancy faster than we age. Each breakthrough builds exponentially upon previous advances, from CRISPR gene editing to artificial intelligence in drug discovery. The question isn't whether we'll dramatically extend human lifespan, but when-and whether current generations will live long enough to benefit from these breakthroughs. This creates what researchers call the "bridge to a bridge" strategy: staying healthy enough with today's technology to reach the next wave of life-extending innovations that could transform humanity's relationship with mortality itself.
