When will the first human to live to 1000 years old be born?

[Rabrrrrrr]

I predict that by the year 2200, the first (eventually) 1000 year old human being will be born.

Of course, we'll never have any of knowing if any of our predictions are correct, unless for some reason it is out generation that lives to be 1000 and someone predicts that. But, even knowing that, let's play the game anyway.

When do you think the first human who will live to be 1000 years old will be born?

1. It depends

When was Methuselah born?

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Methuselah is myth.

Plus, he is said to only have made it to 900 something years old.

3. "only"

:eyes:

5. And he acheieved that feat without the benefit of science, I might add

[laconicsax]

7. He also acheived it without ever existing.

22. Methuselah is said to have lived to be 969

Which is 19 years older than Noach was when he snuffed it.

1000 has special meaning in Gematria — it's the number of completion. For a Bible figure to live to 1000, he'd have to be perfect. Jesus might have qualified, but since He was a prophet, He had to die in Jerusalem — them's the rules.

4. I've already been born.

And I plan to live for a while. :P

6. It all depends how you measure the years.

Say one month is equal to one year. So any person who lived to 83.33 years would live to 1000 years. Simple.

8. He's talking about taking 1000 trips around the sun. n/t

9. I know.

:rofl:

16. I know you know, but I was just giving a snark comment.

:hi:

10. I will be when I become immortal.

[Fran Kubelik]

17. You already are immoral

:patriot:

[Fox Mulder]

19. Yeah, I am immoral...

but not immortal.

:D

Jack LaLanne has a leg up on everybody because he started this health shit decades ago.

12. Jon Bon Jovi

was born in 1962

13. Oh Christ! What an awful thing to wish on anyone! n/t

[Ahpook]

14. If ever possible, would someone want to?

It is an interesting thought.

This topic plus time travel often comes up at certain times:)

[triguy46]

15. This is a cool concept, Heinlen wrote about this quite we.

[Swede]

18. I think it is around the corner.

Nano technology will eliminate lots of the things that end our lives.

20. 1958

So far, so good.

But faster than light travel is equivalent to regressive time travel and therefor violates causality assuming Special Relativity is true.
