Project Zeroyth was initiated by Ivana, an engineer, hacker, and founder based in 🇳🇱 & 🇸🇪.
Driven by curiosity, this project aims to explore and innovate in exciting ways to extend our healthspan and lifespan.
Why do we age? How do we age? Is aging a disease? Can we eliminate natural death? These are the questions that captivate me. There's a quote by Richard Feynman that particularly intrigues me—not just because I admire his life story and his profound contributions to quantum mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, and particle physics, but also because it underscores the undeniable nature of natural laws.
❛❛ There is nothing in biology yet found that indicates the inevitability of death. This suggests to me that it is not at all inevitable and that it is only a matter of time before biologists discover what it is that is causing us the trouble.❜❜
- Richard Feynman(1918-1988)
A highly influential American physicist especially in quantum physics
This quote by Richard Feynman seems to reflect his belief that death is not a fundamental necessity of biological life. Instead, he suggests that death results from specific biological processes that we do not yet fully understand. His optimism lies in the idea that with continued scientific research, biologists will eventually identify and potentially mitigate or eliminate these processes, leading to a significant extension of human lifespan or even the elimination of natural death altogether.
If you think he's out of his mind, he's not alone. Many scientists, such as David Sinclair (a tenured Professor in the Department of Genetics at the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research at Harvard Medical School) and Aubrey De Grey (biomedical gerontologist and researcher known for his work on aging and longevity), along with tech mogul Bryan Johnson, are actively exploring ways to challenge and extend human healthspan and lifespan.
This also serves as a good segue for me to discuss what many refer to as "spirituality" or the unknown. "Logical" individuals tend to only accept things that can be empirically proven, and I used to share the same value. However, it begs the question: are we not somewhat arrogant to dismiss phenomena simply because they cannot be perceived through our limited five senses?
Here is the pattern I've noticed among people I admire and consider highly intelligent: the smarter they are, the more they recognize and embrace their own ignorance while continuously learning and exploring their interests with utmost curiosity.
❛❛ I'm smart enough to know that I'm dumb.❜❜
- Richard Feynman
❛❛I think one of the really most important things that physics teaches you is just our limitations but also abilities. So the fact that we can deduce the existance of something that we don't directly see is really a tribute to people, that we can do that.
But it's also something that tells you that you can't overly rely on your direct senses. If you just relied on just what you see directly, you would miss so much of what's happening in the world. ❜❜

Prominent theoretical physicist and professor at Harvard University. Randall has made
significant contributions to the field of theoretical physics, particularly in the study
of extra dimensions of space, which she explored in her groundbreaking book "Warped Passages: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions."
Anyway, In this project, I'll feature everything that interests me—materials, products, sources, and more. I'll only endorse items I personally use and share materials that I believe are worth exploring.
I hope this inspires you to join me on this exciting journey ahead.
