    Humans will never become immortal \u2013 and we probably won't live much past 120, scientific experts have claimed.<\/p>\n

    For decades, humans have been trying to unlock the secrets to never-ending life, but the closest the world has ever come to anything looking like immortality was a woman called Jeanne Calment, who was 122 years and 164 days old when she died in 1997. She outlived the second-oldest person, Kane Tanaka, who was 119 years and 107 days old when he died in April, 2022.<\/p>\n

    And despite science trying its best through serums, medicines and surgery, a leading expert has claimed that we will never be immortal because death is inevitable. Leonard Hayflick, a Professor of Anatomy at the University of California's School of Medicine and former Professor of Medical Microbiology at Stanford University School of Medicine, United States, said: \u201cEverything in the universe ages for the same reason.<\/p>\n

    \u201cYour car is brilliant because it knows how to age without any instructions, either in the car itself or in the blueprints. So why is the second law of thermodynamics the probable cause of ageing?<\/p>\n

    \u201cIt governs the behaviour of all molecules; it can explain the ultimate cause of all other theories of ageing; it is testable using current technologies; it\u2019s falsifiable; it is universal and applies to both animate and inanimate objects.\u201d<\/p>\n

    For those that don't have a PhD, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the Second Law of Thermodynamics states that \u201cheat cannot move from a reservoir of lower temperature to a reservoir of higher temperature in a cyclic process\u201d. And further casting doubt on humans ever becoming immortal is fellow expert Peter Hoffman.<\/p>\n
