WHAT IS AGING?
WHAT IS AGING ?
It is almost a Zen Koan. The body is formed of organs which in turn are formed of tissues, cells, protoplasm, molecules and atoms. Molecules and atoms do not age. They simply move from one body to another body and get organized by life force. Life force does not age it simply assembles another body and moves on as a traveler who moves form one abode to another.
If atoms do not age if life force does not age then how come a combination of these two which forms the human body age ? Aging is reality or is it? If it is aging where does it start ?
In Human body it is the connective tissue which apparently ages. All the other tissues do not “age” as such. Connective tissue is made up of proteins which show alterations in their configuration depending on the age of the tissue. These proteins are made up of amino acids which again are made up of atoms of nitrogen and C H and O.
Is it the interface of body (matter) and life force(energy) which ages ? Interface is ill defined. It may be some space.
Does “space” age? If so what element in space undergoes aging?
Atoms are known to contain energy which holds the elements in atom together. Thus there is energy inside the atom and some external energy called life force is directing the atoms to perform various tasks. The atoms take their place in human body according to some prearrangement which is under the control of life force. The atoms get out of the human body if the life force ceases to occupy the human body. Nothing can stop them from doing so.
The external appearance of the body changes. The cognitive functions become less functional. The motor functions show some decline in function. This happens although the constituent atoms forming the body are same.
The body is the interface of external and internal environment. It is affected by things inside and things outside. Is it possible balance the external and internal environment in such a way that the quality of the interface remains unchanged?
Breathing is the sign of life force residing in the body. It is thus the sign of energy occupying matter. Matter contains this energy called life force and energy contains the matter called subatomic particles.
Physics tells us that matter and energy are inter-convertible. Where is the place of life force in this convertibility? Is life force a kind of atomic energy released by matter in an unknown way? This energy then self regulates, till mysteriously, this self regulation is no more possible and the organism dies.
Is it possible to explain life in quantum mechanical terms? How will life explain life ?
Mechanical things also age. They have no facility of a life force residing in them. They age because of mechanical friction with their external or internal environment. Their function thus suffers. Apart from friction there is no other force which ages mechanical contraptions.
Human body counters this friction through healing. A chalk will reduce in size with friction against the blackboard but a joint cartilage will regenerate due to life force. Apparently this is gradually insufficient and the aging starts. Gravity greatly assists in aging as it is vital for joint friction to occur.
Plants take lifeless minerals and convert them or bring them under control of their life force. Animals first release the life force from plants or other animals and then eat them and then bring the same lifeless molecules under their own life force. Thus atoms and molecules which were part of a deer soon are under control of the life force of a tiger. How come this life force allows the animal to age ?
How to control or direct this life force? Life must know how to influence life. Where is the key?

REally profound thoughts on Aging, Sir.....That word is something dreaded by the entire mankind!!!!!
But how do you explain the vast differences between the process of aging among the different populations???Is it the upbringing? Is it the awareness? Is it the ecenomic background? Or is it the Thrifty Gene ????? Can we do something about it????

Can you explain about aging of organs & remedies for it.
