The UB population projection of 11.2 billion for 2100 is only the middle of the medium scenario for the UN. The UN has been revising its population projections upward from 9.5 billion to 11.2 billion from projections made in 2000 to 2017. The 95% range of the medium projection is from 10 billion to 13 …
Can the technological, scientific, medical and economic progress of the 21st century surpass the 20th century? The richest countries in the world increased per capita income by 10 times from 1900 to 2000. It will take about 23 years in the 21st century for the US to double per capita income. (2000-2023) If this pace …
Bret Weinstein was interviewed on the Joe Rogan show and Bret claimed that the breeding protocols and telomeres of lab mice are broken. Bret claims that this problem is so severe that it calls into question the safety and correctness of decades of pharmaceutical studies.
Ray Kurzweil predicted the Technological Singularity will be reached in 2045. This actually means there will be strong AI, something like AGI that is 1 billion times more capable than the human brain in many aspects.
I missed Aubrey de Grey talking to Joe Rogan in February. I was traveling and missed this. Aubrey has promoted that the accumulation of seven types of damage of living are the cause of aging. If we fix the damage of aging extremely well damage then like repairing a car we can massively extend lifespan. …
George Church believes that enhancing human intelligence will stay ahead of artificial synthetic intelligence. George Church thinks that combining natural and artificial systems could result in hybrid biological organisms with advanced capabilities. These organisms are likely to improve as rapidly, or more rapidly, than silicon-based A.I., and could result in enhanced natural intelligence: An A.G.I. …
Harvard researchers identified several small molecules that appear to reverse cellular aging in premature aging disease. Small-Molecule PAPD5 Inhibitors Restore Telomerase Activity in Patient Stem Cells (Cell Stem Cell Journal) • High-throughput screening identified specific small-molecule PAPD5 inhibitor BCH001 • BCH001 restores telomere length in iPSCs from patients with dyskeratosis congenita • Repurposed HBsAg suppressors, …
Young blood plasma is known to confer beneficial effects on various organs in mice. However, it was not known whether young plasma rejuvenates cells and tissues at the epigenetic level; whether it alters the epigenetic clock, which is a highly-accurate molecular biomarker of aging. Researchers developed and validated six different epigenetic clocks for rat tissues …
The Coronavirus Pandemic is reshaping our current world and it is reshaping the future. The pandemic and global lockdown is causing a global economic depression, shattering the energy markets and killing previously might companies and industries. 18 months ago, Nextbigfuture looked at the world from 2018-2028. In 2010, the iPhone 4 was introduced and Apple …
Transient reprogramming, mediated by transient expression of mRNAs, promotes a rapid reversal of both cellular aging and of epigenetic clock in human fibroblasts and endothelial cells, reduces the inflammatory profile in human chondrocytes, and restores youthful regenerative response to aged, human muscle stem cells, in each case without abolishing cellular identity. Old human cells can …
After Shock is a collection of essays by Futurists. It is published in 2020 which is the 50 year anniversary of Alvin Toffler’s Future Shock book. There are many essays reviewing and framing the key developments of the internet, social media, artificial intelligence, smartphones and computers over the past fifty years. There are essays that …
