As we age, we get the sense that time is speeding up. In these four part series, Michio Kaku poses some really interesting questions. Does Knowledge of Time affect human existence? Can we live forever?

Michio Kaku introduces the viewer to the Methuselah tree, which is over five thousand years old and, you guessed it, still fertile.

In this four-program series, string theory pioneer Michio Kaku goes on an extraordinary exploration of the world in search of time.

He discovers our sense of time passing and the clocks that drive our bodies. He reveals the forces of time that make and destroy us in a lifetime. He journeys to some of the Earth's most spectacular geological sites to look for clues to the extraordinary depths of time at a planetary level. Finally, he takes us on a cosmic journey in search of the beginning (and the end) of time itself.

I just saw one of these four episodes on the Science Channel and wanted to share it with you folks. These series are actually very good and contain very interesting topics from a scientific and social perspective on the implications of living forever.

The secret? Keep on living...don't die!!!

“… in contrast, think back to childhood… because then time seems endless… Psychologists believe that having lots of new and vivid emotional experiences in quick succession, can actually slow down our perception of time.” M. Kaku

“… now, this means that our perception of the passage of time depends upon how many new experiences we can [have] into a given week or a month. So to slow down my time I need to create fresh experiences… learn to do something new…” or do something very ordinary in a totally different way perhaps! M. Kaku
