Peter Diamandis explains longevity escape velocity: the point where medical advances add more than one year of life for every year you live. Ray Kurzweil predicts we'll hit it by 2030, and his forecasts have been 86% accurate.
Longevity escape velocity is the idea that today, for every year that you're alive, science is extending your life for about a quarter to a third of a year. But there's going to be a point that for every year that you're alive, science is extending your life for more than a year. And the question is, when is that going to happen? And so Ray's prediction, and if you Google Ray's predictions, it's like he's got an 86% accuracy rate, which is pretty extraordinary. On all of his predictions. On all of his predictions. It's like when we're going to have AI, when we're going to have these robots, we're going to have nanotechnology. His prediction on longevity escape velocity is by the end of the year 2030.
