Longevity research has a bullshit problem |
|
|
Debunking a case that is widely accepted by the scientific community is like seeing a piece of a movie set fall over: You realize in a moment that the saloon in the spaghetti western is not a two-story building but a painted two-dimensional prop made of plywood. You have the illusion of solidity in one moment, an incredulous feeling of having been tricked in the next, and after a stunned second you begin looking at the entire street thinking, “I bet that brothel’s made of cardboard.” |
I had this feeling on a regular basis once I began investigating the world’s oldest people. |

You’ll hear things that you don’t normally hear. Your heart beat, your blood flow. A lot of people report hearing a quiet, high-pitched whine, which is your nervous system. |
