Through the Wormhole: Can We Live Forever?
Medical advances in a fast pace; sometimes we can look forward for a world where death can never beat life.
But this leaves us with a food for thought like Can we control and fix the errors that build up in our DNA over the years?
Can we find a way to replace the chemistry of life with something more durable?
Death is a reality which everyone have to accept, but think about a time when there is no need for us to fear about death. Sounds curious, right? Cutting-edge science embarks on a bold mission to extend human life and may soon bring immortality within our grasp. Dr, Michio Kaku explains the second law of thermodynamics states that everything falls apart eventually, including the human body.
This episode wonders into the mystifying definition of eternity as it relates to human lifespan.

Of course.. as long as anyone stay alive for the next 20 to 30 years they will see the benefits of the exponentially accelerating progress that has before been too slow to notice, but now we can see it in the shot term of years and if you look around even discoveries in the first step of B-N-A (Biotechnology-Nanotechnology-AI) in the scale of months.
Well we don’t have to wait around for 5 billion years for the sun to burn out before we colonize space
We’ll have already begun by the end of this century (helped by powerful intelligence in the form of enhancement and artificial intelligences).And starting over isn’t even hard by then when we have nanobots to do the work of terraforming and building 
If I want to live forever? Without a doubt yes.Whether we can or can not survive for 10 billion years are a question of endurance and toughness/redundancy.If we colonize other planets and have means to stop/terminate most menaces, then yes, it is very likely to be so.When this planes gets destroyed by the sun we will have found thousands like it or have probably terraformed uninhabitable planets.OR as an entirely different approach, have simulated realities which are just as good as real.
Maybe an astroid is on its way to Earth now. But it wont hit until 1000 years from now. And give me one reason why we should live more than 5000 years from now?I mean do think humans live in 10 billion years ?Okey i 1000 years from now we probably live, but i dont know in 10 billion years, i hope so. I would like to live fore ever if i got the chance. Would you ?
If we could live for 800 years the world would be alot different in terms of technology…what if Einstein, Newton, Fermi, and Galileo were still alive? knowing what they knew then, and knowing what they would know now. We would probably be able to time travel by now, and teleport.
It’s like they’re explaining this to children. Also I thought of that idea of an omega point and coming back to life eventually when I was a little kid, I think it’s a bit of a optimists view based on little or nothing. And 32:00, when they talk about how far away AT is from the brain, a million times isn’t that much. Moore’s law works out that the technology we currently have will be a 1,048,576 times more powerful in 19 years, and over 2 billion in 30 years… not too long.
@159tony you are right, for all we know we already are a quantum simulation. Our universe’s origin could a mystery because its creation is the moment this quantum computer went online and has been running all possible permutations since then.
