So, they get very healthy but only live 24% longer no matter how many more times they use the treatment. I wonder what the telomere effect is. And what they are doing is not the same as what Aubrey’s mouse experiment is doing.


Altos Labs Co-founder and Chief Scientist Rick Klausner participated in a panel discussing efforts to increase human healthspan by combatting age-related diseases at this year’s Aspen Ideas Health conference.

Webb Telescope reveals Asteroid Collision in Neighboring Star System

Posted by in categories: asteroid/comet impacts, existential risks

Astronomers have captured what appears to be a snapshot of a massive collision of giant asteroids in Beta Pictoris, a neighboring star system known for its early age and tumultuous planet-forming activity.

The observations spotlight the volatile processes that shape star systems like our own, offering a unique glimpse into the primordial stages of planetary formation.

“Beta Pictoris is at an age when planet formation in the terrestrial planet zone is still ongoing through giant asteroid collisions, so what we could be seeing here is basically how rocky planets and other bodies are forming in real time,” said Christine Chen, a Johns Hopkins University astronomer who led the research.
