Is biological immortality possible /sci/?
>>
>>7995570
Yes
>>
>>7995570
Depends on what precisely you mean by "biological immortality"
>>
>>7995575
Immortality without reliance on things like cybernetics or other machines.
>>
>>7995578
Immortality as in invincibility?
As in never dying of old age?
Or both?
>>
>>7995586
Never dying of old age. Although, I suppose invincibility would be nice as well.
>>
>>7995570
No. Entropy would eventually catch up.
Now, living a million years is another thing altogether.

>>7995603
How is the heath death of the universe a meme, anon?
>>
>>7995588
>>7995578
Then yes it is possible, although I suspect mental degradation would be hard/impossible to avoid
>>
Some organisms are actually able to live forever but predation occurs. It's like a sea creature or something, idk tho I got from vsauce I think
>>
>>7995570
Yes.

There are several organisms whose lifespans are not limited by "aging," but by other circumstances.
>>
>>7995605
Heat death won't be a factor for prolly another 100 billion years.

>>7995600
A humanity existing for 100 million years will have found a way to persist through it or circumvent it.
>>
>>7995637
>Persist through the heat death of the universe

And I thought brainlet was just a meme
>>
>>7995630
So basically if u had a tank with perfect conditions for it, it would be immortal until something alters the conditions
>>
>>7995641
You fail to consider the extent to which our kraft will have expanded.

If it is possible to do so, we may even have developed the ability to leave this universe.

Watch Kaiba, play Soma, change mind
>>
>>7996333
Soma says nothing about biological immortality though
>>
Soon we will be able to inject stem cells that will proliferate a s neural cells and we can reverse mental degradation

screencap this for 2210
>>
>>7995570
lobsters manage it
>>
>>7995857

In dunno why that sounds so unrealistic.
In one million years who knows what we'll be capable of. Time travel, bending nd ripping through the fabrics of space, intradimensional travel, it's all theoretically possible.
>>
>>7995570

There are some jellyfish that are immortal by reversing their aging process and just reverting back to child stage
