The topic of immortality has not been interrupted since ancient times, and some emperors in ancient times, in order to achieve immortality, search for elixirs, refine elixirs and other methods have tried, but in the end they have failed.
It may be that from the perspective of many people, eternal life is impossible, but from a scientific point of view, it is not so, and perhaps many people think that finding the path to eternal life is a dream of the ancients, and modern people will not think about it. But this is not the case, and there are many scientists who have been exploring the path of eternal life.
If we want to achieve immortality, we first need to understand why it is hindering human beings from achieving immortality, and scientists have discovered through continuous research and exploration that everything is a gene ghost, and it is genes that do not allow us to achieve immortality.
I believe that many friends know that there are a large number of cells in our body, in a sense, the existence of cells is to serve human beings, they are human "tool people". If cells have their own minds, they will also think about eternal life and look for answers to why they cannot achieve eternal life.
Why can't cells achieve immortality? Because humans do not agree, for the human body, we need newborn cells to constantly replace those old cells, only in this way can humans better absorb nutrients and better maintain health.
If cells had achieved immortality, there would have been no birth of new cells, after all, the total number of cells is constant. Intestinal villi cells achieve immortality, without the new intestinal villi cells, then the human gastrointestinal function will decline, thus affecting the absorption and digestion of nutrients.
The epidermal cells achieve immortality, the human skin will not have the luster of the past, and various skin problems will appear. In the same way, other types of cells have achieved immortality, which is an absolute disaster for human beings, in order to survive healthily, human beings do not allow "tool man" cells to achieve immortality.
In the same way, human beings cannot achieve eternal life, and they are also controlled by a higher level, because they do not allow us to live forever. So who controls humanity? They are not extraterrestrial life or high-dimensional life, they are genes that we all know.
Genes are not unfamiliar, they are smaller levels of composition in the human body, cells are made of genes, is the core of life. In a sense, whether it is a cell or we humans are the "tool people" of genes, we are working for genes, living organisms are only the carriers of genes, genes are the real masters behind them, and the reason why humans cannot live forever is because genes do not allow it.
Why do genes not allow humans to achieve immortality? Isn't eternal life good for genes? The answer is yes, as mentioned earlier, if the cell achieves immortality, it is a bad thing for human beings, it will seriously affect our physical health, we need the constant renewal of cells to make the human body healthier and more perfect.
The purpose of genes is also to allow themselves to continue, and also to be able to achieve the sublimation of life, to become a higher level of genes, and to achieve these need to be faster renewal of life, rather than maintaining the same all the time, this is what we know as evolution.
Evolution is the continuous elimination of genes to update, so that the wrong genes, imperfect genes are replaced by better genes, and genes want to achieve more efficient evolution, they need to carry the faster replacement of this life form, that is, the frequency of death is higher, and the life span is shorter.
What happens if genes don't limit the body's longevity? It would be a good thing for living beings, whose lifespans have increased dramatically and can stay in this world for longer periods of time, but for genes, their continuation and evolution will be threatened, especially since evolution may stop and cannot be upgraded to higher genes.
The genetic diversity of the biological population is very important for genes, it can make the quality of genes continue to improve, more conducive to the continuation and evolution of genes, but if the organism achieves longevity, the diversity of genes may become less and less, the quality of genes may continue to decline, and even finally genes will end.
Immortality will also bring another side effect that is the rapid consumption of resources, as the organism no longer dies, more and more newborn individuals, resource consumption is getting faster and faster, and eventually we need to face two endings, one is to completely stop fertility, one is to collectively go to death, no matter which one, it is not a good thing for genes, the organism is going to extinction, it also means that genes are coming to an end, without a carrier, genes can not survive.
Genes control the lifespan of living organisms, which is a good thing for genes, but it is a bad thing for the development of human civilization. I believe that many friends know that human beings are intelligent beings and have also formed their own civilization, and the development and continuation of human civilization depends on wisdom, and wisdom needs the accumulation of knowledge to play a more powerful role.
With the advent of humanity into the era of science and technology, human civilization has ushered in a huge leap forward, followed by more knowledge that we need to digest and absorb, and the ancients only need to learn some of the Four Books and Five Classics, which do not take too long to learn. However, after embarking on the era of science and technology, more and more knowledge will be learned, and the time spent on learning will become longer and longer.
Now we start from elementary school to college, the knowledge learned is only a small part, more knowledge to learn, and it takes a lot of time later. A scientist wants to really have a major breakthrough, the basis is to learn a certain field or multiple fields of scientific and technological knowledge, so that the time spent may take decades, until all the learning is completed, scientists have also entered the middle-aged and elderly era.
Human life expectancy is limited, if the average life expectancy of 80 years to calculate, a brilliant period of time is about 40 years old, and scientists want to learn a variety of areas of scientific and technological knowledge, the speed of fast also need to be about 40 years old, slow learning may need to be about 50 years old.
When scientists have learned this knowledge, the most brilliant period of time has passed, and the human brain's reaction speed, thinking, physical fitness, etc. have begun to decline, and the research cannot be carried out for a few years, so it is difficult to make some major scientific and technological breakthroughs.
Einstein's major scientific breakthroughs were also made at a young age, and in his later years, he was also physically limited, and there were no major scientific breakthroughs. Great scientists like Einstein have only been able to conduct research energetically for only about 20 years, not to mention ordinary scientists, who can really energetically conduct scientific research for about ten years at most, which is too short.
If Einstein could have a longer lifespan and can live until now, then human technology will not be what it is now, it is possible that it has gone out of the parent star and realized the development and migration of the planets of the solar system, which shows how important a great scientist is to the development of human beings, but unfortunately, genes limit human lifespan, do not want us to live longer, and hinder the rapid development of human civilization.
If human civilization wants to usher in a more brilliant era, it needs to break the limit of life expectancy and have a longer time to contribute to mankind. Just imagine, if human beings can live for thousands of years, then spend 100 years to learn all kinds of knowledge, and then spend longer time to carry out scientific research, then the speed of human scientific and technological development will inevitably rise a few steps higher than now, so that we can enter the interstellar era faster and become really powerful.
Therefore, breaking the limit of genes on human life expectancy is very important for us, and to do this, we need to work hard to study gene technology, become the master of genes as soon as possible, and let genes become tools for human beings.
