![]() At present, more than one year of research is required for each additional year of expected life. The term is meant as an analogy to the concept of escape velocity in physics, which is the minimum speed required for an object to indefinitely move away from a gravitational body despite the gravitational force pulling the object towards the body.įor many years in the past, life expectancy at each age has increased slightly every year as treatment strategies and technologies have improved. For example, in a given year in which longevity escape velocity would be maintained, technological advances would increase people's remaining life expectancy more than the year that just went by. In the life extension movement, longevity escape velocity ( LEV) or actuarial escape velocity or biological escape velocity is a hypothetical situation in which one's remaining life expectancy (not life expectancy at birth) is extended longer than the time that is passing. ![]() ![]() ![]() "The first 1000-year-old is probably only ~10 years younger than the first 150-year-old."– Aubrey de Grey ![]()
