From ancient times to the present, from China to foreign countries, human beings have tried every means to achieve the extension of physical or spiritual life. The pursuit of "eternal life" and "eternal life of the soul" has become the eternal desire of all living beings. According to historical records, many emperors in ancient times pursued immortality to enjoy glory and wealth. When they were old, they became more obsessed with finding the elixir of immortality. The most famous emperor was Qin Shihuang . He specially sent the famous alchemist Xu Fu to lead 3,000 boys and girls to Yingzhou (now Japan) to find the elixir of immortality for First Emperor , but he died without success. In addition, he also built a large-scale Terracotta Warriors to achieve the goal of continuing to lead the army after his death. In addition to Qin Shihuang, many emperors including wise emperors such as Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Taizong of Tang , as well as many emperors such as Emperor Ai of Jin , Emperor Xuanzong of Tang , Emperor Huizong of Song , and Ming Shizong of Ming have records of seeking immortality.
Since ancient times, not only Eastern people have pursued immortality, but Western people have also pursued the eternality of spiritual life. The emperors of ancient Western countries were influenced by various religious beliefs and ideas. Although they did not believe in the immortality of the flesh, they all pursued the eternal existence of the soul. For example, Ancient Egyptians believed that the body was just a container of the soul, and death was not the disappearance of life, but the soul had temporarily left the body. The pharaohs of ancient Egypt have always been committed to protecting the corpse from rotting, thus making the flesh into mummies, pursuing the eternal life of the soul, and being able to be resurrected in the future. For example, Christianity and Islam , which believe that human flesh is short and the world after death is eternal. After death, human souls are judged differently according to their performance during their lifetime, and strive to ascend to heaven to achieve eternal existence.
Since modern times, due to the rapid development of technological level, people have known that immortality is impossible, and the human soul is likely to not exist. Human beings no longer pursue the immortality of life, but they can still pursue prolonged life. Many scientists at home and abroad have conducted a lot of research on the issue of longevity and have proposed many explorations on life extension. Among them are frozen human experiments, human immunity theory, cancer cell research, biological clock theory, error theory, etc. Today's scientists believe that the highest lifespan of a human should be 8 to 10 times that of sexual maturity. If human sexual maturity is 14 to 15 years old, then the highest lifespan of a human should be between 110 and 150 years old; or the highest lifespan of a human should be 5 to 7 times that of a human growth period, and the growth period of a human should be about 20 to 25 years old, so the highest lifespan of a human should be 100 to 175 years old; the more recognized result is that human lifespan will become the norm for 120 years old!
Looking at recent years, many business tycoons and wealthy people in China and abroad have shown great interest in life sciences, and most of the rich people in the circle of rich people have the idea of "wanting to live longer". Chen Tianqiao , who once ranked as the richest man in China at the age of 31, invested billions to establish Tianqiao Brain Science Research Institute to explore the integration of human brain science and artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance brain function, can realize whole-brain AI interaction, release the full potential of the human brain, and extend the lifespan of the human brain. The richest Chinese super richest man in Hong Kong, China, Li Ka-shing , was exposed to the anti-aging drug developed by CDXC in the United States as early as 2017. The drug claims to be able to delay aging and prolong life. After taking the drug, Li Chaoren said that "it feels like he is back to 20 years old" and injected $25 million into the company. Pinduoduo founder Huang Zheng donated 100 million US dollars to his alma mater Zhejiang University to support his research in food medicine, life sciences and other fields.
born in 1915, the third leader of the Rockefeller family , David Rockefeller . It is reported that he had changed six hearts in his life to maintain his body functions in order to "life forever". Therefore, he lived to the age of 101 before he died.Former world richest man, Bezos invited top scientists such as Nobel Prize winners Shinya Yamanaka and Steve Horvath to join Altos Labs, which was known as the "strongest anti-aging company in history" in the industry. Later, Altos' epigenetic reprogramming research results have been frequently produced, successfully extending the survival of mice by about 1/3. It is reported that Bezos invested 20 billion yuan in this regard, with the purpose of "extending human life span by 50 years." Google co-founder Larry Page 9 years ago, we convened 6 world-class talented people to form a team to study the issue of immortality. Meanwhile, "Alien" " , He doesn't care about his body's immortality, but he hopes his mind and brain gain immortality through his new company Neuralink's " brain-computer interface " technology.
Although humans cannot live forever, there are still ways to live as long as possible. With the development of life sciences and medical technology, the average life expectancy of in modern people has approached 80 years old. In 2022, the average life expectancy of my country will reach 77.93 years. This is actually something that I dare not imagine in ancient times, because being able to live to 70 years old was a rare longevity. If I could live to 100 years old, I would be respected as an "immortal". Perhaps as Linda Graton, the author of "A Centenary Life", said: "With the development of technology, it is a fact that everyone is a hundred years old." At that time, everyone could become an "immortal".
