Everyone in the world seeks immortality, but they do not know that all things in the world, those who obtain true feelings are not afraid of life and death, but only fear separation.
"Records of the Grand Historian - The Original Annals of Qin Shihuang" records the emperor's desire for immortality, so he sent alchemists to seek immortal medicine.
The world's richest man funded "rebirth technology" and hoped that the organ would be rejuvenated
According to a report by MIT (MIThings 5), the richest people in the world are also working hard to prolong their lives. The world's richest man in the United States, founder of Amazon.com, Bezos , has invested in Altos Labs, a Silicon Valley startup, the latest startup dedicated to rejuvenating cells and extending their lifespan.
Altos Labs's key research direction is "biological reprogramming technology", which is committed to restore cells to the embryonic state. After the period is successful, the organs or the whole body can "restore youthful vitality".
Scientists say reprogramming has great potential in treating vision loss, spinal cord injury, brain injury and other age-related physical degeneration.
Altos Labs are full of talents
In a 2018 study, the biochemist of the Salk Institute, Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte, called it "elixir of immortality" and said that "aging is not an irreversible process."
In 2016, Izpisúa Belmonte's lab applied these factors to the entire living mouse, achieving signs of age reversal and leading him to reprogram a potential "elixir of immortality." Although the results of the mouse experiments of
are attractive, they are also terrifying. Depending on the extent to which reprogramming occurs, some mice developed ugly embryonic tumors called teratomas, while others showed signs that their tissues were getting younger.
Now, Izpisua Belmonte will also join Altos Labs.
Other outstanding scientists who joined the startup include Steve Hovas, a UC geneticist and developer of the "biological clock", which accurately measures human aging.
Yamanaakashiya (one of the founders of Shinya Yamanaka inducing multifunctional stem cells (iPScell).) shared the 2012 Nobel Prize for discovering reprogramming. He will become an unpaid senior scientist and will serve as chairman of the company's scientific advisory committee.

"Eternal Life" project is very popular in Silicon Valley
In 2013, Google launched Calico, a research and development laboratory for the treatment of aging. A year later, the Palo Alto Longevity Award gave researchers $1 million, which could make older creatures younger or extend their lifespan by 50%.
Today, researchers from 50 countries can earn approximately $30 million in bonuses through the National Medical College ’s “Health and Longevity” challenge. Nir Barzilai, director of the Institute for Aging at Albert Einstein Medical College in New York, is expected to invest $4.5 billion this year in life-extending science.
Stop disease and prolong life seems to be the main interest of Bezos
The 57-year-old founder of Amazon widely quoted British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in a letter to Amazon shareholders in 2020, saying: "Avoiding death is something you have to work for... The other party is a famous and outspoken atheist and evolutionary advocate today. John, chairman of the Colson Christian Worldview Center, responded to this: "It is not unusual for humans to desire immortality." Bezos is not the first person in history to want to "life", but he is currently the latest and most resourceful one."
John said: "Maybe, he is just responding to an ancient truth: endless wealth cannot satisfy a deep abyss created by God in the heart of man." For example, another wise man and billionaire in ancient times also lamented: "Later, I observed everything I managed and the success I achieved through hard work. Who knew that it was all void and all catching wind; it was of no benefit under the sun."
This sentence corresponds to a verse in " Diamond Sutra ":
"All appearances are false, and all conditioned laws are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows, like dew and lightning, and you should observe them like this."
