Living forever has already been achieved, just not in the way you think. Let's find out with Chrome. Meet the only animal that can't die of old age, the Tori top-nissed door knife. This is probably the only creature that will be around to see humans evolve. Or devolve. Yes, some of us are devolving, yeah. But to figure out why this jellyfish is immortal, we're gonna go use Chrome. What you're looking at right now is an article on jellyfish immortality. I'm not gonna lie, this is a pretty long article, but it's okay. We could just bring in Gemini and Chrome right here. We just need to ask, explain how this jellyfish can live forever in simple terms. Like I'm explaining it to a friend. So Chrome says, "In this jellyfish, it's matured cells actually change identity. A muscle cell can change itself to become a nerve cell or even a reproductive cell. Must be nice." So when this jellyfish gets old instead of dying, it cells literally reprogram itself back to baby cells. And this process is called transdifferentiation. This is probably the most happiest creature of all time. Or the most depressed creature of all time. Actually, that'd be me. But here's the crazy part. Apparently, scientists are studying this jellyfish to understand human aging. But let's make sure that's correct first. We open up a research paper to get the right information here. I have two tabs open about immortal jellyfish. Can you fact-check if scientists are using them to study human aging? And what did they find? Researchers are studying Tori top and his dorn eye because it cells reverse aging without ever becoming cancerous. A process that can unlock breakthroughs in human aging. Here's how it works. Every time you're self-divided, the protective caps on your chromosome get a little shorter. That's aging. But this jellyfish has extra genes that rebuild those caps and reset that process. But that doesn't mean every jellyfish lives forever. Turtles eat them, fish eat them, shoot, I eat them. And Chrome just broke down all that research in just a few seconds. Try it out. Maybe you'll find a way to be immortal too. I'm Billy. I'm Matt. And it's a big weird world.
