(via We Spoke with the Scientist Studying How to Live As Long As Possible)
Snippet..
Scientifically speaking, the odds of living to 127 at the moment are one in a trillion, which means it’s not happening. Living to anywhere between 115 and 120, you have what I call “probable impossible,” I’d say there’s about a 1 percent chance, but there’s still a possibility. Between 120 and 127, the odds of surviving really begin to disappear totally. When we look at the statistics, we have currently 2,500 cases of people 110 plus. Of those, by the age of 118, only two. When you’re going from 2,500 to two in just eight years, to me that’s scary. That’s just that there’s a maximum life span. The death result is much higher than random chance––if you got hit by a bus, got shot, got sick. There must be a biological component. And studies show that there’s a maximum life span for every mammal that’s different. The oldest cat was 38. The oldest dog was about 30. The oldest mouse was four. The oldest elephant was 78. The oldest human was 122. Whales seem to live longer than humans. The oldest one on record was 211. Tortoises live to about 200. More…. Click Above
