Ageing is mathematically inevitable. There's logically, theoretically, mathematically no way out, says an expert. Efforts to find the secret to everlasting youth may be futile, as scientists have mathematically proven that it is impossible to halt ageing in human beings. Current understanding of the evolution of ageing leaves open the possibility that ageing could be stopped if only science could figure out a way to make selection between organisms perfect.One way to do that might be to use competition between cells to eliminate poorly functioning "sluggish" cells linked to ageing, while keeping other cells intact.
However, the solution is not that simple, researchers said. Two things happen to the body on a cellular level as it ages, the researcher said. One is that cells slow down and start to lose function, like when your hair cells, for example, stop making pigment. The other thing…
