Ageing is not a biological inevitability. Scientists are studying every aspect of the body which could lead to treatments that could slow down, or even stop, the ageing process.
In this talk by Andrew Steele, discover how understanding the scientific implications of ageing could lead to the greatest revolution in the history of medicine. One that has the potential to transform the human condition.

Andrew's book 'Ageless' is out now: geni.us/t50pxZv
Andrew Steele is a London-based scientist, writer and presenter.
After completing a PhD in Physics, he decided to make the unusual leap to biology as he saw understanding ageing as the greatest humanitarian mission of our time. A recent Research Fellow at the Francis Crick Institute in London, he has used computers to decode our DNA and unravel the secrets hidden in some of modern biology’s biggest data.
He has featured in or on the Guardian, Sky News, The One Show, and Discovery’s Impossible Engineering and Through the Wormhole, BBC Radio 4’s Inside Science and Newshour.
His latest book 'AGELESS: The New Science of Getting Older Without Getting Old' is available from Amazon at geni.us/t50pxZv.
This talk was recorded at the Royal Institution on 16 March 2022.

As several of you pointed out, the original title of this video was inaccurate! Instead of 'Getting old without getting older', we've changed it to 'Getting older without getting old'. Apologies to Andrew Steele for getting it wrong - perhaps our brains need some of that anti-ageing science.

I was diagnosed with cancer age 44 and know many others who have been too at a relatively young age. I ate organic unprocessed food, exercised, mediated etc for many years before diagnosis. No family history, no genetic factors or risk factors. Environmental factors are huge, especially in hormone driven cancers. We need to clean up our toxic world to avoid cancer, it's not just ageing.

When I was a young man I worked at a Health food store. Over and over again I would meet these 80+ year old people (couples) who looked 40 maybe 50. I asked them what their secret was and they all said eating healthy foods in their natural form and taking some vitamins. They all took vitamin C and flaxseed and a few other antioxidant type vitamins. And they exercised daily in moderation. They looked and moved like athletic middle aged people.

I would save your money and not buy the book, or trust "science" which exists to sell you a pill at a tremendous profit. Good clean food, herbal remedies, minerals, vitamins, and other supplements, rest, love, family, trust in the Lord make life worth living no matter how long you live and often does increase one's life span. Also avoid prescription drugs and over the counter medications. Over the long term they mess up your body.

Interesting observation, but there's something called "sampling bias." In this case, it seems reasonable to assume that patrons of a health food store, as a group, would be more interested in their health than a random person (as well as wealthier, more educated, etc ) and likely to eat the kind of whole foods sold at, well, health food stores. Their interest in health would also be plausibly make them more likely to take supplements. Finally, this biased (non-random) sample is also healthy enough to go shopping independently, despite their advanced age, something whole-food eating invalids aren't. Some things to consider when drawing conclusions about cause and effect.

I really appreciate holding my hand as I navigated this complex process. And it does a very decent job in tackling tough social, economic and demographic issues.

Thanks so much to him and The Royal Institution for sharing this information, he is very articulate, easy to watch, and his excitement is contagious. I just hope that people will start donating to research into curing ageing, rather than donating so many billions to curing each of it's individual symptoms! There's another few trillion dollars into the world economies once/if a cure for ageing can one day be found. 🙏✌

Is not the truth of the matter that from the moment that men (human beings) are born, or first draw breath, they embark upon a process identical in every respect to either jumping or being pushed from a very high place, which can only possibly have one result or consequence? What the speaker seems to be contemplating is that it is possible to commence or start that process of falling *without* eventually coming into contact the ground or whatever is adamant at high speed, or that it is or might be, possible to go in for falling *without* landing on the ground. Is it not exactly correct state that there is absolutely nothing that anyone might try after entering the process of life or falling that can possibly alter that inexorable consequences or results of falling which started from the moment that you either jumped or were pushed? Is it not true to say that for all practical purposes, given that jumping or being pushed, or living can only have one possible outcome jumping or falling or living are in every possible respect identical to hitting the ground? - Because one is the inescapable consequence of the other because that was a certainty from the moment that you were born, first drew breath, jumped, or were pushed, or were born, for all practical purposes given that the outcome of jumping is hitting the ground. Furthermore it strikes me that while you are alive or falling, no amount of worrying or being afraid and no amount of doing anything can possibly affect the inescapable consequence or outcome. Why would anyone be frightened something that they have never experienced? Is it not true to say that no amount of fear or care can possibly alter the inevitable outcome of jumping or being pushed or living? - Do you not hit the ground the very second you jump or are born or commence what is called living which in point of fact and reality(whatever that might be) that it can only possibly have one *absolutely certain* outcome unless of course you happen have a note from your mummy saying that diddums is excused gravity, so the title the piece is best rephrased as “how to jump or fall/jump from a higher place without hitting the ground which is identical to saying: “how to go swimming without getting wet” Thus birth is jumping, and living is falling. Right now dear reader you and I are rather like the man that jumps from the top of a very high building of say, two hundred storeys and going by an open window on the 50th floor and saying to whoever happens to be looking out of the window: “so far so good.” That being the case the title of the piece is little more than: “how to jump from the top of a skyscraper without actually hitting the ground.” I rather suppose that there is a word or someone that supposes or imagines that that is possible given that for practical purposes jumping or falling and landing, are one and the same thing, or some might suggest that is possible to fall more slowly and that to them, they appear to be falling so slowly that they may suppose that they will never get the ground, and I also suppose there is a word for someone like that. You and I, dear reader are falling at this very moment, are we not? Do you suppose that there is *anything* that you and I can possibly do that can materially alter the inevitable outcome of jumping or being pushed, or living, or falling? Do you perhaps suppose that it is possible to fall*Up*?

Interesting talk on the subject of aging. It’s primarily about anti-aging drugs that will be available in the future. If that’s the case, and they’re affordable, I’ll try it. In the time being, it makes sense to take good care of yourself and stay active to slow down the aging process as much as possible. Now for my story. As a teenager and preteen kid I was one of those wimpy weakling types, largely useless at sports and school physical education class. Fast forward to the present I’m 61 years old, healthy and quite fit, and from what others have told me I look about 8 years younger than my actual age. Why? What happened? It’s because I smartened up, have taken decent care of my health, and keep active, ignoring all those ageisms that someone my age shouldn’t be doing the things I do like mountain biking. If I can do it, so can anyone else. I recently saw a video about a woman 73 year old mountain biking down steep slopes in British Columbia. Also I see Paul McCartney is still rocking at 80 years old and last but not least I saw a clip on TV of a 100 year old man still driving the tractor and working his farm near Teeswater, Ontario. See what happens when you stay active?

When I started "restudying" biology as an adult many pennies finally dropped compared to what I learned in school, to break it down I realized yes you are literally what you eat and more on the philosophical side of things, yes we really are all one. It made me think about ageing and what those implications would be if we lasted even a decade longer. If everyone had the more reasonable life span of 100 years instead of maybe making it to our 80s/90s I think it may have the opposite effect on the population. I think most species only breed out of nessecessity and lack of time. We "know" we only have so long to have a family and on an emotional level it may be to replace the family already lost etc. But what if we have more time? That might change. Also on the most selfish side some people try to live their youthful dreams through their kids, again what if we have more time to realise those dreams for ourselves? As far as America and where it throws money, I don't think all the Healthcare companies would let money go to that research when they make so much from diseases and suffering. Vicious cycle.

Looking forward to being able to give up employment in their 60s is what keeps them going day to day. The requirement for most people to labor in an unfulfilling way for most of their lives is a much more serious societal issue than ageing. The lack of resources would also be a very serious challenge with increased population due to extended lifespan, but it's already a very serious challenge with people dying on average in their 70s. These don't have to be either/or, all or nothing propositions.

Unrelated to all the moral issues and monetary benefits, I see a huge potential in academics. Usually aging puts a massive damper on your academic career. As I have taught programming to 13 and 40 year olds alike, you can clearly see the slowdown with age. Programming is a especially good indicator since it deviates from almost everything you learn in school and daily life. You really need a flexible mind and children are very good at that. If you could bring just a little bit of that flexibility and curiosity back to a 60 year old researcher, we could narrow the gap to the next breakthrough in anything basically.

I believe you are underestimating the importance "forgetting" plays on the development of new theories. I strongly suggest you watch Richard Feynman's lectures on physics from the 1960s. There's a particular moment where one of the professors in the audience tries to defend "classical optics" - only for Feynman to shoot him down in spectacular fashion based on recent experiments confirming certain predictions provided by quantum-mechanics. We need to face facts here - a human brain with a Ph.D already takes an average of 31 years to build. By any reasonable standard, it's already approaching mid-life and becoming obsolete as is. Asking a brain that's been specializing on one specific subset of problems for 30 years to keep producing discoveries when its 30 years out of date with much of its own field let alone applicable discoveries from every other field is almost pointless. It's not about the quality of the individual brain, it's about the quality of the information stored within.

OP and Grizzabeebles you both made such interesting points. From my own personal thoughts, I've always thought that the work systems, mostly globally, but especially in the west, and in countries that adopt western ways, are deeply flawed in how only a very very specific and small demographic is considered by society of greatest value, contributions worthy and capable to being a productive member of society. Work structures are created so that anybody older isn't viewed as valuable, and are unashamedly rejected. No matter the different ways the human mind scientifically computes as it lives, we still acquire wisdom through experiences and an endless degree of other things, something a young person would never be able to contribute with. That said youth IS also very valuable. We just reject incredible productivity, their guidance and personal historical information from our elders, solely due to some baffling obsession with youth. When I speak to older people, I'm blown away by their stories, every single time, by the way they think and how they perceive life. They're treasure troves, and should be a part of society/life as such.

@@ts4686 -- This is just my opinion, but have you ever noticed how people of different ages search for missing objects? Children under a certain age tend to run from room to room randomly, teenagers and adults in their 20s start tending toward retracing their steps and doing systematic searches. And people above a certain age tend to shout instructions based on personal experience and historical patterns without getting out of their chairs. There's also the phenomena of people age 30+ starting to walk past the object they're looking for multiple times because they're expecting to see the object in a familiar place or see the object from a particular angle. Adults who don't have children often forget to check to see if an object is buried under other objects, etc. I suspect humans evolved under conditions where people of a variety of ages worked together to solve problems. As such, brains of different ages are more sensitive to different types of patterns and different types of problem-solving. But how is that supposed to be leveraged when it comes to problems like solving string theory or marine rescue or designing skyscrapers? There's a certain minimum of technical knowledge that takes decades to learn or extreme safety risks that make bringing children to the problem *more* troublesome rather than less. What I'm suggesting is that the same probably holds true for the other age-related brain development cohorts. We as a species have generally let our social and economic systems stratify based on arbitrary lines. But age isn't arbitrary - it *HAS* consistent and measurable effects on the way a person thinks. It is my belief that there are just some problems that an 8 year-old is better suited to solve than than a 38 year-old or an 83 year-old. A society composed of only one type of mind only produces one type of solution. A society mostly composed of old minds, for example, results in nothing but a lot of shouting and no actual movement.

Already, the Japanese society seems to be on the verge of a critical number of young workers getting so frustrated with having their voices suppressed by an aging generation that they are choosing to eschew traditional work and material possessions and are simply waiting until enough of the elderly population dies off for political and economic reform to be possible. This phenomenon manifests in many ways and is known by many names - "lying flat", "parasite singles", NEETs, Hikiomori, etc. What else are young people supposed to do in a society which either hires you straight out of school or requires 5+ years of experience? All they *can* do is form their own insular subcultures and parallel societies their *WHOLE* lives.

Neil Armstrong thought people would probably only have a certain amount of allotted heartbeats in a lifetime. However, I don't know how many heart beats he did on the Moon's surface in 1/6 G. Maybe set and setting has something to say during the "course" of a "life".

I now want to live longer in the hopes of hearing more lectures by Mr. Steele. By way of encomium, only one word comes to mind: Stupendous. Totally blown away by this guy. The deftness of his arguments and delivery; his irrepressible zeal and energy-the academic equivalent of a number by the Nicholas brothers- are their own arguments for why we might want to try to preserve youth.

Great video, thank you. I have been taking Metformin for a year now even though I don't have diabetes. I'm also taking Apigenin every day and Fisetin for 5 days each month. I can tell you that I feel so much better now than I have for the past few years. Also, it is subtle, but I do look younger today that I did a few years back. My neighbor and his wife mentioned that in passing during a conversation a few months back. After that, I told them about all this stuff about aging. I also happen to do intermittent fasting. I have been doing that for about 20 years now. I'm currently 67 years old. Let's live long enough to live healthy forever.

A fascinating topic, I will continue to follow this topic, since I am 77 and my body is definitely expressing that reality; monthly eye injections for wet macular degeneration, skin becoming saggier, surgery to remove a bone in my wrist to stop pain. However, as I look around myself, I'm often shocked how much slower this process is occurring in my physical appearance. When I go to senior events, most people look 30-40 older than myself. I'll keep watching and learning and I wish this guy could speak quite a bit more slowly, but that probably wouldn't be possible since his mind is delving into such complex topics.

I found him borderline dishonest and unethical in presenting those arguments at the last 1/3rd, at a minimum deliberately misinformed. For one: that "global population graph" he used: The entire global population of humans in 1950 was 2.2 Billion. He's showing a truncated graph for just 20 years. And saying a 2 Billion person increase is "only 16%, so no big deal"? That's adding more people to Earth than ALL the humans living in 1950- the ENTIRE GLOBAL POPULATION. No wonder he truncated the graph. Ri is typically excellent. This was very disappointing. He's more shady lawyer than science presenter. Ghastly. He needs to amend his opinion presentation in the last third to include the honest population growth of humans.

Maturing through the years that we live (regardless of how many) does not inevitably mean we will develop chronic or degenerating conditions. Our potential and our foundation of strengths and weaknesses are genetic. However, acquired conditions can also be determined by habitual, lifelong actions whether one gets “old” in the sense of deterioration or cleanses and renews through what we consume, what situations we have in our environment, in addition to any type of traumatic influence. It is best to communicate by using word correctly and precisely.

I'm 70 - so far getting old has been the most enriching experience of my life. For those of you who don't want to liver forever and put off aging, here is what might be in store for you...My writing is stronger than ever before, my music more emotional and complex...and making love to my wife creates the most exquisite ecstasy - orgasms last so so much longer than when I was younger...last night I made sounds I have never before made...the depth of feeling for my wife was so joyful... Even though my memory is declining my cognitive ability is increasing - problem solving, relationships, understanding the mystery of life along with the mystery of my own life. Why put off the best experience of your life? The youth culture is lost..,.but they will find themselves sometime in their mid forties or they will be come adult-children - which is not a pleasant experience...Adults should naturally be adult.
