(9,749 posts)Thinking that things like aging are going to go away violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
All the universe is nothing more than a huge thermodynamic system that processes energy and the process of doing that, according to the 2nd law, is never 100% efficient. It always creates by products. Usually these by-products are harmful to the thermodynamic system that created them. Don't put a muffler on a car and the gaseous by products will break down the engine.
This is why we can not create a perpetual motion machine. Why things age. Why things decay and break down. Why metals rust, and animals die and decay.
Saying that science will defeat all those things IS ANTI-SCIENCE. Because it directly ignores the scientific laws that you seem to be completely ignorant. Science can not defeat nature because all that composes science is knowledge of nature and how we obtain that knowledge. Science applications is not controlling nature so much as it is piggybacking on it.
To defeat those things would require infinite resources and time...something we do not have.
And I trust Albert Einstein, Carnot, Planck, Boltzman, Clausius, etc far more than your misunderstanding of Kurweil.
