A Scientist Says Humans Will Go Backwards in Time Within Just 3 Years
2026-04-30
Misleading title. The reporter means increasing longevity, not time travel.
[Popular Mechanics] Computer scientist and futurist Ray Kurzweil believes humanity will achieve "longevity escape velocity" in just three years.

The concept basically states that due to medical and technological advances, we will soon reach a point where our life expectancies lengthen by more than one year per year, effectively giving us time back on the clock.

This is a very controversial concept, and one that—even if possible—would require widespread access to cutting edge medical technology.
