Новата наука за това как да стареем, без да остаряваме. През 1960 г. броят на хората на възраст над 100 години е 20 хиляди. Днес е половин милион, а до 2050 г. се предвижда да стане 3 милиона, или нарастване от 150 пъти за по-малко от век. Дълго време стареенето е било възприемано като неизбежен и необратим процес, факт от живота, срещу който не можем да направим много. Болести, свързани с остаряването, са били лекувани поотделно, без да се мисли за това дали няма някаква обща причина за всички тях, някакъв ключ, който може да бъде изключен, за да се спре самият процес на стареене. Биологът и физик д-р Андрю Стийл, ... |

The Glory of the Bulgarian science ... Винаги, когато са срещали трудности и прегради по пътя на своя материален, социален и духовен прогрес, хората са се обръщали към силите на обществото, към свойствата на обективния свят, към богатствата на заобикалящата среда, за да умножат своята собствена сила и разчистят терен на историческия прогрес. Днес напълно господства концепцията, че решаващ фактор за социално-икономичското развитие на обществото е науката. Широкото разгръщане на научните изследвания и пълноценното използване на резултатите от тях в обществената практика за съжаление сега не е основна задача на нашата ... |
