How come we are still unsure about the cause of aging?

1.73K views

Do we not understand enough about the human body? I have heard that we don’t fully understand the mechanism behind aging and this got me wondering. I mean our body seems to be like one of the first things we’d investigate, and yet we seem to know less than I had originally thought.

Even though it feels like we know so much about the universe, the world, and ourselves, I believe that we’re still very profoundly primitive in our understanding of any of it. We just don’t know what we don’t know. There might be another piece about the universe that we aren’t even aware of that may have an affect on aging. Does something happen at the quantum level that we have no way of measuring? We don’t even really understand how we think and what makes us, us. It’s pretty fascinating and I think humbling to feel that there are still so many secrets out there to discover that will change our understandings of life and humanity. We may never run out of questions to ask.
