297# Living Forever | Myth, Science & The Edge of Immortality

from Never a straight answer · host Never a straight answer

297# Living Forever | Myth, Science & The Edge of ImmortalityTonight’s episode sits right at the crossroads of myth… and reality. Because for as long as humans have existed, we’ve asked one question above all others: Can we escape ageing? From ancient stories of magical plants and hidden fountains… to modern laboratories attempting to reset the biological clock itself… the idea of living forever has never gone away. But something has changed. For the first time in history, we’re not just imagining immortality… We’re experimenting with it. So tonight, we’re bringing everything together — the myths, the strange historical figures, and the cutting-edge science that might one day turn fiction into reality. Because the question is no longer just “is it possible?” It’s becoming… “how far can we go?”
