Something to do with repairing the ends of our chromosomes as they get eroded away by cell replication I think. Naked mole rats do that. Minutephysics said so.
Does anyone subscribe to the transhumanist style of thought that says human existence can be best preserved by uploading our consciousnesses to computers/ robots, so that we might continue until entropy literally breaks us down?
I like that idea.
