A clinical-trial style tour of the hallmarks of aging, the interventions actually being tested in humans, and the honest limits of what biology will allow. Key sections include: LONGEVITY / What we know about extending healthspan; From 30 to 80 in a century — and almost none of it from anti-aging.; Lifespan vs healthspan . The goal isn't more years. It's more good years.; The Hallmarks of Aging López-Otín et al., 2013 · updated 2023; Caloric restriction moderate evidence; mTOR & rapamycin moderate evidence; Senolytics early human; Yamanaka factors preclinical Resetting the epigenetic clock; Metformin — the boring candidate moderate evidence; Exercise strongest evidence The intervention with no equal in 2026..

Classical bits are switches: 0 or 1, definite at every instant. A qubit is a quantum object whose state is a continuous combination — a superposition — of 0 and 1, collapsing only when measured. Key sections include: QUANTUM COMPUTING A different kind of computer.; A bit holds one answer. A qubit holds both.; Superposition. Entanglement.; The Bloch sphere; Feynman, 1982; Shor's algorithm breaks RSA; Grover: √N search; Four serious hardware bets; Qubits are delicate; Logical qubits, demonstrated.
