eternal despair

By VickyPublished 2 years ago 3 min read

Introduction: When it comes to the topic of immortality, everyone must want to live forever. Even the first generation of emperor Qin Shi Huang embarked on the road of finding immortality and taking medicine in his later years. So everyone wants to live forever, especially those who are rich and have inexhaustible wealth and wealth, and they want to live longer than anyone else.

Is it a good thing to live longer?

People seem to be trying to prolong their lives now. Scientists have also released some corresponding research reports, and introduced to us what kind of lifestyle can lead to physical damage, and also told us what kind of life can prolong people's lifespan.

From the current point of view, compared with the world a hundred years ago, people's life expectancy has obviously been extended, because people lived to the age of 70 can already be regarded as long-lived old people, but now people live to 100 years old everywhere. , it can be found that human lifespan has indeed been extended, thanks to the current scientific and medical progress.

However, in a sense, immortality cannot be achieved. Immortality refers to the constant existence of consciousness, because the human body will grow old and weaken, and the number of cell divisions in our body is limited, so if Transferring human consciousness to a machine, or using some kind of drug control, may be able to achieve the effect of prolonging life.

1. Immortality violates the laws of nature

Some scientists have found that people cannot obtain immortality at all, because immortality violates the laws of nature, and all creatures that can obtain immortality will not end well.

Every time long-lived animals are mentioned in the world, people will naturally think of tortoises. Some studies have found that ordinary tortoises can live between 150 and 200 years old, and we have found that the longest tortoise is only 175 years old. . The reason why people think that this kind of creature is very long-lived is also because they move very slowly, so this kind of creature is also known as an auspicious creature.

Corresponding ornaments are also offered at the birthday banquet for the elderly. The tortoise has also become a family pet, corresponding to auspiciousness and longevity. And there is a creature on earth that lives longer than it, that is, the arctic round clam, which can live up to 405 years old. By studying this biological scientist seems to have found a way to live longer.

Because as long as we can analyze the genes of this kind of creature, we can find out why they can maintain such a long lifespan. Just when everyone is delighted with this long-lived life, the appearance of another creature makes everyone feel more connected. Different.

2. Jellyfish can survive indefinitely

This kind of creature is a jellyfish, which is a very common marine creature, but the existence environment of jellyfish really violates the natural laws of creatures, because jellyfish can "rejuvenate" countless times. will become small and continue to grow.

Therefore, when the natural environment is not destroyed, the jellyfish can live forever, and there is no age limit at all. But in fact, although the jellyfish can live all the time, it needs to ensure that the waters in which it grows are healthy. If it leaves the healthy waters of this generation, it will die immediately.

Conclusion:

In various studies, scientists have concluded that organisms with longer lifespans tend to have simpler structures and therefore more fragile life. When the water temperature changes, jellyfish will die quickly, so compared to humans, jellyfish are much less resistant to bad weather and bad environment, so those creatures that can often achieve immortality are not very good. .
