New Drug 'shrinks lung cancer tumour'
The drug eliminated small cell lung cancer tumours in 50% of mice, and blocked the cells’ ability to resist standard chemotherapy treatment. Read mo’.
De Grey is the author of the mitochondrial free-radical theory of aging, and the general-audience book Ending Aging, a detailed description of how regenerative medicine may be able to thwart the aging process altogether within a few decades.
Aubrey de Grey (Born 1963), Cambridge Graduate, a engineer claims he has a found a solution towards the most common method of death: AGING.
He believes he can solve this problem and believes he has proved this to be true by extending the longevity of mice, which he believes is a significant milestone in the path to extending human lifespan to 1000 years or more.
He believes there are quantitative behaviors at the cellular level that cause human death, and these can be identified. Identify each one, and then fix each one. read mo’.
Within 20 years, we can achieve biological immortality, and it is reasonable to suggest that within 20 years from now, many young to middle aged people alive today may live 1000 years or longer.
Therefore - 20 years to IMMORTALITY if we act fast and INVITE
Googled!
It took telephones about 70 years to reach half of American homes, electricity about 50 years, color TV two decades. Yet the Internet reached more than half of Americans in a mere decade; Facebook built a community of 300 million users in just 5 years.
We’ll soon be building new hearts to order in just 24 hours say stem cell scientists
Although the research has so far been used only to produce a new rat’s heart, experts believe the prospects for the future are limitless. (via Mail Online)
One of the activities which we consider to be qualitatively human is our unique sexual experience; but as “human” becomes “post-human,” what happens to sex? We already have sexting, homegrown porno, and sex toys that would make your parents blush… but what comes next? Here, we explore a few ways in which sex has shifted with technology, and do a little speculation (fantasizing?) of our own. Read mo’
DNA Research - New study suggests 'telepathic' communication amongst strands.
In the study, scientists observed the behavior of fluorescently tagged DNA strands placed in water that contained no proteins or other material that could interfere with the experiment. Strands with identical nucleotide sequences were about twice as likely to gather together as DNA strands with different sequences. No one knows how individual DNA strands could possibly be communicating in this way, yet somehow they do. The “telepathic” effect is a source of wonder and amazement for scientists. Read mo’

Jeff Greason: NASA must invest in human space flight and travel.
Which cutting-edge technologies should NASA develop first? The very first element would be a technology for the handling and storage of propellant in space. If we had such a “gas station” it would significantly change the game in terms of what you could do: it would let you launch a much more capable, bigger mission with the same-size launchers. If you use chemical rockets, you want to be able to manufacture that propellant at your destination. That saves a huge chunk of initial mass because you don’t have to take the propellant with you to get you back to Earth. Then there’s a whole bunch of ideas for advanced space propulsion. An ion engine called VASIMR is a perfect example.
Surely the intention to win plays a role in nature. We see two male bulls fight for dominance, we see both males and females compete for mating choices. Every point of view in nature wants and needs to win in the game of life. We can all agree and see that we all want to win, and no matter the ideology which inflicts anyone, no matter how sophisticated or crude, the individual’s desire to win and attain is mutually shared amongst all of us from entrepreneur to gangster, to banker to political crook. Yes, even us bloggers want to win a higher Google ranking.
There appears to be three basic winning ‘scripts’ that encompass the perception and strategy in full.
1.)I want to win - you will lose. The Emperor Complex.
2.)I will lose so that you can win. The Messiah Complex.
3.)We can both win/attain this together. The rational alternative
