Record #03: Distance // Compendium of Humanity's End
You are mostly empty space. Oh, you may feel like you are a semi-solid, if not squishy object, but that could not be further from the truth. If you start to zoom in, you’ll see that you are made of trillions of tiny cells. But those cells are just gooey packages for various tiny organelles and even your DNA. DNA, though, is made up of long, complex sugars. Those sugars themselves actually consist of just five elements—hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorous—in various configurations.

Forecasting Immortality: Experts Predict Potential Achievement by 2030
While the common belief is that human immortality is unattainable, futurist Ray Kurzweil suggests it could be within reach in just seven years. Although reminiscent of science fiction, Kurzweil and his team are pushing the boundaries of reality with their bold predictions. According to him, immortality is not only on the horizon but intertwined with a singularity—a moment when AI surpasses human control and transforms society. The precise timing of this event is challenging to pinpoint, adding an element of uncertainty to Kurzweil's vision.

IS THE 1555 LES PROPHETES BOOK STILL ALIVE?
Let's select Just a few that might be of relevance in our current age. The sixteenth-century Mars mission. Michelle de Nostradamus was a French astrologer who became well-known during his time because, you guessed it, many of his predictions came true. Although it's still unclear if his predictions from long ago were accurate or the result of pure coincidence, people at the time accepted him and he became well-known for them until the day of his death. Nostradamus also left behind a book called Les Prophetes in which he made 942 predictions, many of which came true. For example, he foresaw both the moon landing mission of Apollo 11 and the ruthless reign of Adolf Hitler and even the COVID-19 pandemic. All these he talked about in the book which he published in 1555.
