@Context2X Is there a chance that he brings a clean precooked batch of food that he eats instead? I want to believe.

@Chibi34original @sciencegirl If it could be, dying should be optional. Why the hell wouldn’t you want that?

@sciencegirl Umm, who in the fuck wants to live forever. Why would you want to do that lol. Now, if he is just saying that he wants to reduce the aging process in terms of cosmetics and some performance areas, that’s fine, but leave the lifespan alone.

A teenage prodigy in quantum physics is aiming to tackle one of science’s biggest challenges: human aging.
Laurent Simons earned his PhD in quantum physics from the University of Antwerp at just 15. Rather than slowing down, he has already begun a second doctorate, this time focusing on medical science and artificial intelligence.
His long-term ambition is to better understand aging and disease, with the hope of helping extend healthy human lifespan. He has described death as a complex “puzzle,” made up of many interconnected pieces across biology, physics, and engineering. His strategy is to study these layers together, using AI to analyze biological systems and identify patterns that would be difficult to detect otherwise.
Simons’ academic journey has been unusually fast. He completed high school by age 8, finished a bachelor’s degree at 12, and went on to earn both a master’s and PhD in quantum physics years ahead of typical timelines. His doctoral work explored advanced topics like Bose–Einstein condensates, where atoms behave as a single quantum system at extremely low temperatures.
Although highly theoretical, this research underpins technologies such as quantum computing and precision measurement. Now, his focus is shifting toward biology and medicine.
In AI-driven healthcare, researchers are already using machine learning to improve early disease detection, model protein structures, and accelerate drug development. In the field of aging, scientists are investigating ways to reduce cellular damage, eliminate dysfunctional cells, and better understand how the body changes over time.
However, experts stress that “solving aging” is extraordinarily complex. While lifespan extension has been achieved in simple organisms, applying those findings to humans remains a major scientific hurdle.
Simons himself acknowledges that meaningful progress could take decades. Even so, his path reflects a broader trend in science—where breakthroughs are increasingly happening at the intersection of disciplines, and younger researchers are setting ambitious, long-term goals.

daily reminder that your job should be treated as a golden opportunity to fund and start your side business, while you abuse all the benefits and put in a max of 50% effort. using the rest of your energy and time to build something of your own

@jacobrodri_ I don’t see fights been very feasible but a tinder solely for talking shit would cook.

I noticed something new this time traveling that I haven't seen before
Asking ChatGPT where to go, it would recommend us to go to specific places, so we went, and we were then surrounded by other foreigners who also were there, and then I saw some of them open their phone and yes there was them also asking where to go to....ChatGPT
So you now have ChatGPT being the travel guide for a substantial amount of people, and because it has a tendency to normal/average answers, you kinda end up at normie tourist traps
Then even if you ask for more authentic places, those thousands of other people also asked that, so it just funnels hundreds to thousands of people per day to the same exact places
You could call it ChatGPT Tourism?
