He is wrong. If we did accomplish it. Someone from the future would have visited the past by now.

Gonna be really obvious which commenters don’t read the article.

Does anyone read articles and not just headlines? „The concept basically states that due to medical and technological advances, we will soon reach a point where our life expectancies lengthen by more than one year per year, effectively giving us time back on the clock.“ It’s not time travel.

isnt popular mechanics supposed to be legit? I’m not even going to click on this nonsense. Anyone who has even a passing interest in this stuff knows why travelling back in time is impossible

We all know this is impossible. If it weren’t the insane asylums of 2014 would’ve been filled with people trying to kill Trump.

It’s true for the rich, just me and my blood boys, some hormones, a lotta pills and a treadmill. I’m gonna reverse age, roll up in my convertible at the end of cheerleading practice like the fonz! Gonna take a couple decades to accumulate the wealth .

I see none of the commenters even opened the article. It’s not talking about time travel. It is talking about eternal youth/stopping/reversing aging.
That within 5 years, science will start extending lives faster than people age. So if you are 25 now, by the time you are 30 your life expectancy may be 80. By 31 it will be 81.1, by 32 it will be 82.3, by 40 it will be 100, etc etc.

If you look at the recent US election we have already traveled back in time and didn’t need 5 years to do it.

I opened the article and I’m still going to make a comment about time travel, because fuck that headline.
I traveled back in time just to comment here and now.

He’s only 76. I hope he lives to see it too. Been a fan for a long time. I’ll be 45, and as much as I’d love a miracle cure to make me 25 again, I’d be happy taking a drug regimen to age at a rate of -1 year per year until I got there. The whole point of making all this money is to be able to afford to live forever once we got the technology.

It feels like we’ve been going backwards for a while now.

Morally, we went back to the early 1800s, and politically to pre WW2.

Scientist and futurist Ray Kurzweil believes that humanity will achieve longevity escape velocity by the year 2029 – just five years away – giving his explanation for this prediction being the rapid advancements happening in medicine and technology, and using the example of the Covid vaccine’s rapid rollout as a prime example. The scientist argued that while things like the cures for cancers will likely not be achieved by then, and while natural accidents could still end up ending the lives of people who reach longevity escape velocity, past 2029 „you’ll get back more than a year. Go backwards in time. Once you can get back at least a year, you’ve reached longevity escape velocity.”
