Doesn't need for that extreme. Humans bones would ironically split into children like structure which would simply be a unfusing process which would most likely be painful depending on the speed of the process (we know this based on people with gigantism, they complain from speedy growth pains)... but then the bones would refuse together and then the big issue .. what happens to a mammalian when it's cells revert, the shrinking is pretty much impossible, as even in that extreme our bones would stretch us to fit the structure... but odds are we wouldn't shrink as we don't have a pupate state. We have a infancy state which is starkly different. There are children with full adult features in rare cases. So when that stuff happens typically our body keeps the mishaps as is. This hypothetically means the revert in humans would resemble a almost ideal version of this jellyfish superpower... we also see this in other creatures, dogs for example have been breeded to hold and maintain infantile features. It's where the main changes from when they were wolves actually comes in... just a matter of chance which trait they carried on... there is one bit unmentioned in the science about this jellyfish... it's DNA is being repaired by it's rna... p.s only reason I know this is my wife attends a bio mediçal university in Australia where this jelly fish is found.... in conclusion the Aussies are pretty certain within the next 50 years or so they will have that process available for humans. It's just a matter of world science rules being adapted and changed

Cellular differentiation happens when a cell takes on certain properties of the body part it is to be a part of. The idea that a developed lifeform could turn that off and switch back to essentially being stem cells is insanely interesting. Personally, I know we wouldn't want to utilize this method, though. We would likely lose all of our knowledge and have to be raised all over again. In essence, we would die and a clone would take our place. That's not the best choice. We'd also likely have to be born again too, all depending on how far back we go in the process.

As telemeres shrink, it allows the DNA to become damaged by 'unwinding'. This means the DNA frays, breaking nucleotides, and causing damage to the cells and their functionality. The degredation results in cellular division slowing, which is what looks like aging, and the cells produced are gradually less healthy/intact resulting in decreased function which is: memory loss, skeletal issues, muscular issues, hormonal levels dropping, coloration changes, vascular issues, slowed healing, decreased reflexes, etc.

@PettersenFredrik

7 ай бұрын

It is because the DNA in our cells is gradually damaged over time. Our cells need oxygen to produce energy to live. but oxygen is also dangerous for our DNA, so over time DNA is damaged by the oxygen the cell uses. That is why we should eat antioxidants to protect our cells. over time, the cells' DNA is damaged, so when a cell copies itself, all damage to the DNA follows. this is also why the older you get, the greater your chance of getting cancer. The cells' DNA is so damaged that they become cancerous with the next cell copy. So the only way nature has managed to fix this for humans is to reproduce us. because when we have children, the DNA repairs itself to its full length in the child. and so on with the next generation.

2 different things..immortal and living forever. If human today became immortal population would grow for awhile then the death rate would catch up. People living to 1000 would be few and far between. Living forever would have to avoid all accidents diseases random lightning strikes etc. And ultimately the heat death of the universe.

I once read that longevity is possible by restricted diet, regular vigorous physical activities, and the willingness to get angry over trivialities. By being sort of hungry, busy as hell, and pissed off over nothing, many of the seniors that I have met have managed to live well into their nineties. The hungry thing, yeah, makes sense. By eating less your body is taking smaller amounts of carbs, which can release free-radical ions during the digestive process. Those free-radicals can do significant damage to your DNA if you are eating a lot. OK, that checks... Vigorous activities, exercise if you will. That too seems sensible, a healthy body holds up better to time and gravity. Right, that scans too... Bitterness and wrath, I kind of get it, but I think that it would simply be too exhausting for a person to be that bent over a period of decades...so I am giving it a "maybe " with a bit of skepticism on the side. I have met some incredibly jolly old people who were not in the least the sort to shout insults at the sky. I believe that attitude may make a difference, when combined with the dieting and exercise... But I could be wrong, I am not a professional person, just a random guy watching KZread. Still, the first two, they seem like the real thing....

Prolonging life doesn’t sound good but the aging part? Definitely. At least some aspects of it, like the creaking joints and the belly that won’t go away 😭

Life and death, an interesting concept worth some philosophising. I still am going with persistence of information as one aspect of it. I feel that having offspring also does count as one way of living on and not fully dying albeit in a diluted state, at least for sexually reproducing species. Our genetic code can be quite long lived when you think about it. Unfortunately for us with higher brain functions, there is a lot of signal processing and storage and consciousness that is lost in the process of one individual dying, but as we pass our wisdom along. So, when do we truly die really? Food for thought.

I love when I learned something new, especially when these days KZread seems to be the same stories just told in different ways.

Nature invented the otherwise hapless Ocean Sunfish to ensure that immortal jellyfish would never rule the universe.

We got taught that our cells reproduce identical copies. I always thought if this was true we would never age. However in my opinion it appears to copy like a analogue radio cassette, each new copy from the last copy deteriorate a little. It would be amazing if we could reverse to the original like the jellyfish.

No error correction is perfect and protects against any number of external factors, such as ambient radiation. You will get a corrupt file after a finite amount of time, whether you keep copying it or just let it sit. DNA itself is actually digital information, and there are various mechanisms that cells use to get rid of errors. But mutations that stay still happen every now and then, once there is just enough of those errors to be irreparable. It is in fact highly impressive that after over 2 billion years the information managed to stay intact enough to make a working cell, by favouring the somewhat altered copies that are better at making backups of itself. And only due to the truly massive amount of backups that were made along that time. In fact, I was thinking about using actual plants to store digital information in this self- backing up fashion, since some plants can get along with unbelievably long genomes, that could store hundreds of gigabytes. In one cell. And they don't need most of it to work, so you could put your computer files in there instead. Granted, the whole plant would store the same information, but that is still impressive. Imagine a cyberpunk movie where the mcGuffin is a genetically modified potato containing some highly valuable and dangerous data. The plant would go through all kinds of action, only for the last tuber to get eaten as fries by the main character in the end, to keep it from falling into the wrong hands, left with no other options. But the skin! They realize after triumphantly retutning home. Bits of the potato skin were left on the parring knife and kitchen table, and are now being sequenced prompting a sequel where the villain gets a superweapon based on the designs stored within. As it always happens with movies nowadays, one part is never enough.
