"If this interpretation of the data is correct, then aging is a natural process that can be reduced to nanoscale thermal physics" - this was utter crap. No wonder this guy is at a liberal arts college. You can't equate atomic force breakage to senescence. Without any scientific linkage it's like linking the sinusoidal pattern of seasonal temperatures to the amplitude of an alternating current. Welp, must mean that the basis of temperature is electricity right? "But the sheer number of possibilities being put forward refutes the very possibility. They can’t all be the cause of aging." - Wrong, more likely it's a mix of all of them. You can cruise PLoS One and realize that most researches in this area realize that it's likely a combination of many underlying factors from other researchers' discoveries that contribute to aging. One more thing, how does an open system become limited to the second law of thermo like a closed one? Stay scientific Hoffman.
