Embryonic stem cells and germ cells have also been described as immortal. [8] [9] Immortal cell lines of cancer cells can be created by induction of oncogenes or loss of tumor suppressor genes. One way to induce immortality is through viral-mediated induction of the large T-antigen, [10] commonly introduced through simian virus 40 (SV-40). [11]
Transforming a human into a cyborg can include brain implants or extracting a human processing unit and placing it in a robotic life-support system. [46] Even replacing biological organs with robotic ones could increase life span (e.g. pace makers) and depending on the definition, many technological upgrades to the body, like genetic ...
Steve was designed by game creator Markus Persson for Minecraft. He is a human character with a blocky appearance, which is consistent with the aesthetic and art style of the game. His design consists of a light blue top, a pair of blue trousers, and shoes, [1] [2] while his face is sometimes adorned with a goatee. [3]
Digital immortality (or "virtual immortality") [1] is the hypothetical concept of storing (or cloning) a person's personality in digital substrate, i.e., a computer, robot or cyberspace [2] (mind uploading). The result might look like an avatar behaving, reacting, and thinking like a person on the basis of that person's digital archive.
As best we can guess, life started on planet Earth about 3.5 billion years ago. There’s almost no scientific reason to believe humans won’t join them in a relatively insignificant amount of time.
Cryonics is the low-temperature freezing (usually at −196 °C or −320.8 °F or 77.1 K) of a human corpse, with the hope that resuscitation may be possible in the future. [ 57 ] [ 58 ] It is regarded with skepticism within the mainstream scientific community and has been characterized as quackery .
The only other airport that can receive commercial international flights, Hugo Chavez International Airport, is in the northern city of Cap-Haïtien. Today, the small airport serves as the only ...
The origins of some immortal cell lines – for example, HeLa human cells – are from naturally occurring cancers. HeLa, the first immortal human cell line on record to be successfully isolated and proliferated by a laboratory, was taken from Henrietta Lacks in 1951 at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.
