This is true in theory but in practice it doesn't really make the problem solvable. Go show me your machine that turns an omelette into an egg.

- Filligree 5y agoIt's called a chicken.
- voldacar 5y agoYou have not really restored the omelette to its original state. That just destroys the egg and uses its energy to power a machine that creates a new one. The aging analogy would be destroying old people and feeding them to pregnant mothers. This is obviously not a solution to aging.
- dwaltrip 5y agoIt seems to me that aging is not as destructive as cracking an egg. It is certainly more gradual. So perhaps that is a more tractable problem.

- scarmig 5y agoWell, we know how to unboil an egg: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2015/01/28/how-and-why-chemists-figured-out-how-to-unboil-an-egg/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2... Give me a $100M budget, and I'm pretty confident I could run a project to revert an omelette into an egg.
