The speaker, inspired by stabilizing his epigenome to biologically feel younger, aims to reset everyone's age by a few decades every few decades to prevent aging. By making advancements to reach 'escape velocity,' where for every year lived, an additional year is gained, without increasing sickness, the goal is to achieve a higher quality of life and potentially avoid the limitations of aging.
Is aging a disease that can be cured? Neil deGrasse Tyson and cohosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly discover the field of epigenetics, the Information Theory of Aging, and curing blindness for mice with Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School, David Sinclair.
