Rejuvenation
Rejuvenation is a medical discipline focused on the practical reversal of the aging process. Rejuvenation is distinct from life extension. Life extension strategies often study the causes of aging and try to oppose those causes to slow aging. Rejuvenation is the ''reversal'' of aging and thus requires a different strategy, namely repair of the damage that is associated with aging or replacement of damaged tissue with new tissue. Rejuvenation can be a means of life extension, but most life extension strategies do not involve rejuvenation. Historical and cultural background Various myths tell the stories about the quest for rejuvenation. It was believed that magic or intervention of a supernatural power can bring back youth and many mythical adventurers set out on a journey to do that, for themselves, their relatives or some authority that sent them anonymously. An ancient Chinese emperor sent out ships of young men and women to find a pearl that would rejuvenate him. This le ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chroniton
A chronon is a proposed quantum of time, that is, a discrete and indivisible "unit" of time as part of a hypothesis that proposes that time is not continuous. In simple language, a chronon is the smallest, discrete, non-decomposable unit of time. In a one-dimensional model, a chronon is a ''time interval'' or ''period'', while in an ''n''-dimensional model it is a non-decomposable region in ''n''-dimensional time. It is not easy to see how it could possibly be recast so as to postulate only a discrete spacetime (or even a merely dense one). For a set of instants to be dense, every instant not in the set must have a sequence of instants in the set that converge (get arbitrarily close) to it. For it to be a continuum, however, something more is required— that every set of instants earlier (later) than any given one should have a tight upper (lower) bound that is also an instant (see least upper bound property). It is continuity that enables modern mathematics to surmount the para ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
