Re: Factor X have we finally found the fountain of Youth?
I've been taking NR (NAD+ regenerator) for the past two years or so. I've not noticed much of a difference. Then again I was feeling just fine (and full of piss an vinegar) prior to starting it. Ask me in another 5 to 10 years. Given the number of start-ups in the field, it looks like we're within h...

Re: Factor X have we finally found the fountain of Youth?
Reading between the lines on Liz Parrish's endeavor, I draw a different conclusion. Her therapy worked in the technical sense that it delivered the gene therapy into the cells that she wanted it to. However, all of the recent (post 2015 work) research suggests that teleomere shortening is not a caus...

Re: SpaceX News
I think Musk is looking towards the military there, even if he is not saying it. I am sure the DOD is very interested in the ability to rapidly deploy 800 soldiers to anywhere in the world within less than an hour. And on top of that, the thing lands vertically. It does not need a runway. This is P...

Re: SpaceX News
Where is the information that shows that BFR sub-orbitals can compete with conventional sub-sonic airliners for intercontinental travel. Is it the NIAC presentation? What is the link? I find it difficult to believe the economics of this sub-orbital transport (although having done my share of 10-14 h...

Re: Regrowing telomeres
I still maintain the primary cause of aging is mitochondrial dysfunction (either mDNA damage or damage to the mPTP), a therapy to fix which can also be developed in the near future. From what i've read, mitochondrial dysfunction appears to be the primary reason why cells go into senescence. Once th...

Re: Regrowing telomeres
Then I'll have to give Quercitin a try and find out for myself.

Re: Regrowing telomeres
An RNA vaccine or treatment could be developed to do this. It could even be done in a home lab and be even cheaper to develop than the CRISPR therapy Liz Parrish developed in her home lab to accomplish the same purpose two years ago. However, I think it unlikely that telomere shortening is a major c...

Re: Factor X have we finally found the fountain of Youth?
Its becoming clearer that mitochondrial DNA damage is the root of aging. The other things such as lysosomal aggregate accumulation, accumulation of senescent cells, and the like are likely secondary effects. Church's CRISPR Cas9 may fix this problem. Another approach, MitoSENS, is to simply relocate...

Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change
all of psychology and all of sociology are apparently useless. Most certainly. All of the "soft" fields are garbage. preventative health? useless. A lot of it is, which is why I avoid doctors. Most of what they are calling preventative health is nothing more than vaccines, colonoscopies, and statin...

Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change
The reality test of science is if it results in technological innovation. Science that does not result in technological innovation may be real or it may be bogus, but its certainly useless.

Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change
Bill gates did meet with some polywell guys a while back ; but by the end of next year Elon Musk will be solving the power problem "FOR the WORLD because he will have finished his second solar cell plant and that can account for 2 percent of the production needed to make the WORLD solar powered.

Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change
I have a feeling that not a cent of that will go to a fusion research. The entire AGW is an idea designed to provide excuse for government growth and overreach and since warming is not a real problem nobody looks for real solutions like fusion. I really hope I am wrong and substantial funds from th...

Re: Too early for Polywell?
The Chinese are starting to replace coal burning plants with pebble-bed fission reactors. They are also investing a lot of money and time in developing molten salt reactors, very high temperature reactors and the like. The reason isn't so much of this global warming charade (which I think is a hoax)...

Re: Too early for Polywell?
My question is if we find a source of energy that almost eliminates the non-monetary costs and provides a reduction in the monetary costs (that I think many of us here argue is what Polywell will do), are we losing an opportunity to change our relationship with mother Earth? Is the loss of that opp...

Re: Mach Effect progress
Both the dielectric and electrostrictive materials (what you're calling the piezoelectric) have to operate in the GHz range and show no thermal decay or variance due to thermal effects. The current colossal dielectrics do not work well in the GHz range and tend to decay due to thermal effects. The l...
