I guess we all know a TedX presentation is 20 minutes. This TedX is David Sinclair
speaking of his research as a representative of a field called Aging Science, Longevity Science
He says "The last 25 years are nothing short of revolutionary" that if he was not from Harvard Medical School we would probably not consider what he says to be credible.
Chronological age is the number of time the earth has circled the sun since one was born. "Real" age is the condition of our genomes and epigenomes over which our lifestyles do provide us with some amount of control.
This TedX talk goes beyond that and tells us what science is achieving in that respect.
The analogy he uses to discuss the state of the genome and the epigenome is compared to music on a scratched CD, and undoing the scratches to restore it.
I am inclined to consider the field to be Quality of Life science, and to ask: are you getting old or are you becoming older and wiser?

NOTE FROM TED: Research around aging discussed in this talk remains an ongoing field of study. Please do not look to this talk for health advice. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t...
Have you ever wondered how long you will live? And if so, how could you change that number to live drastically longer? The science might be in your favor: follow David Sinclair, Australian biologist and professor of genetics at Harvard University, as he shares his research on slowing and reversing the process of aging in mice, and how the same technology may someday be transferable to humans. David Sinclair, Australian biologist and professor of genetics at Harvard University, shares his insightful research into the science of age reversal and anti-aging medicine.
