Torpor, Dormancy, Hibernation

[Guest guest]

Very Inspired today, so I write it down.

My thoughts on the paper.

Let's begin with an funny question:

What came first? The egg or the chicken?

The egg did. This was the answer of Cinthia Kenyion.

The chicken is only another way to make new eggs.

The tree is only a way to make new seeds, so the seed

came first.

Only the genes are immortal.

If genes are immortal, why don't we?

The realizing of such a thing makes me wonder.

Why age?

Why death?

Why caloric restriction?

The mechanisms of caloric restriction are well know

from the

cientists. Three mechanisms: Torpor, dormancy and

hibernation.

**Torpor: This condition is an inductive condition

caused by CNS.

Somebody feel decreased energy, because the brain

somehow senses that

energy is finihing and goes to sleep in order

to save energy. Note that it is a believed hipothesis,

that the goal of the sleep is to save and conserve

energy.

(I can justify it by papers).

**Dormancy: This condition exists in seeds. Seeds are

in dormant state.

Seeds are alive, but in suspended life. Seeds are

dehidrated and

have a zero metabolic rate. A radical state. Similar to

that of

some primates that can be put in such a suspended

state (see imortalist manifesto of Ettinger).

This state is not a desirable one, at least for

somebody that

wishes to live. Who will like to be dehidrated?

And have the life suspended? (See psicological note at

the end)

Is BTW like crionics. Gene silence by the chromatin,

IMO falls into

this category.

**Hibernation: A condition found in several mammals.

The metabolic rate and

temperature decreases, and by the ROL theory, this is a

way to increase

lifespan. Living in a lower speed = Live longer because

of the temperature.

Aging is our primary enemy. The basic truth.

And as the necessary condition for having low oxidation

in something that is

emplumed is to eliminate fat and dehidrat.

I supose that the same is needed to the body that

needs to have the aging retarded. Dehidratation and low

fat. coffee does

some of these things. That's why I drink it. I supose

also that it is DNA

protective.

Then, I've got my termomether and measured my temp:

35.9 C. < 36.0 and

my heart rate:

58 bpm < 60 bpm. The idea of

being dehidrated and becaming an stuffed bird than came

into my mind.

I became then depressed thinking about

the inconvenience of being immortal and make some

coffee for myself. Than the stimulation of caffeine in

my brain

made me fell happy, awake and inspired again.

Mathematicians are machines to transform coffee into

theorems.

Math ideas came into my mind. The

first one was that of periodicity. Getting out of dauer

state in nematodes

is a way to reverse aging.

Aging a little, reversing a little, aging a little

reversing a little.

Sounds like a periodic orbit of an automaton. You

mantain yourself stationated

at that chronological age.

Can a medicine putted inside

each cell of the body do this or at least induce this

reversion?

I supose so by the new dicoveries of the science.

Reinitializantion by assexual reproduction

is another way to go. Warren and people of science

magazine knows it.

Reinitialization will be achievable in the next

years to come, and will give us a new fascinating

youthful life.

But will cost a lot. So other cheapeast ways are

needed. The

aging-reversal-stationating medicines I mentioned (they

exist at least in

my sick mind hahaha ...)could be this way.

The brain would behave in this

situation similar to an CPU of an computer IMO.

CPUs do not get oxidased and live very very long

(forever if some transistor

do not fail, but neurons have much more adaptative

behavior

than broken transistors...).

I heard news today about and old man (friend of

mine). He is very debilitaded

and he's no able to work anymore. He is 88 years old.

I'm 28. But

if nothing is done in a future I'll be like him, poor

guy.

That makes me want to cry, because when I was a child

I loose another friend

of mine because of old age. He died at age of 98. And

I was 18 at that time.

Everybody found it " natural for his age " . But not me. I

refused to accept

such concept of natural.

We will be able to have such bodies we have by now

for ever and ever.

But until this date, we need to *accept* that we need to

age to live longer.

The best way to die young is to starve to death, at

present ...

These new ideas of mine I'll be shared by the

scientific comunity in the newer

future, I hope. No aging, no death, no suffering.

Criticisms are welcome. I'll not be an tractor.

Cheers.
