Can We Get Older Without Aging?

The video explores the inevitability of death and the role of entropy in aging. It discusses age-associated diseases and how entropy contributes to them. The concept of telomeres and their impact on lifespan is explained, along with the biological programming that limits human life. The video examines animals like naked mole-rats, lobsters, and hydras, which have unique aging processes, and considers how they might inform human longevity. Finally, it discusses the future of aging, potential solutions to entropy, and the societal implications of extended lifespans.
