I decapodi non invecchiano sono immortali

Nei mari esiste una specie vivente che è immortale, anche gli scienziati ammettono che non è in grado neanche di invecchiare. Una specie che conosciamo tutti non è in grado di invecchiare e ha sorpreso gli scienziati. Il desiderio di eterna giovinezza è un tema che ha affascinato l��umanità fin dagli albori della civiltà. Leggende e miti di diverse culture raccontano di elisir di lunga vita e di fonti miracolose capaci di fermare il tempo. Gli esseri umani hanno sempre sognato di mantenere il vigore e la bellezza della gioventù. La scienza e la medicina moderne hanno fatto passi da gigante nel tentativo di comprendere e rallentare il processo di invecchiamento. Le ricerche sul DNA, sui telomeri e sulla biologia cellulare hanno aperto nuove prospettive, facendo intravedere la possibilità di prolungare la giovinezza. L’industria cosmetica e farmaceutica è da sempre alla ricerca di rimedi contro l’invecchiamento. Tuttavia, questi rimedi, pur efficaci nel breve termine, non riescono a fermare il naturale processo di invecchiamento. Il desiderio di eterna giovinezza si manifesta anche attraverso le pratiche di medicina estetica e chirurgia plastica. Interventi di lifting, botox e filler sono sempre più comuni e accettati nella società moderna. L’immortalità nel regno animale Nel mondo animale, esistono esempi sorprendenti di longevità che ci fanno riflettere sulla possibilità di sfuggire all’invecchiamento. Alcune specie, come le tartarughe giganti delle Galapagos e le balene della Groenlandia, vivono per più di cento anni.

La ricerca scientifica è sempre più interessata a comprendere i segreti della longevità animale per applicarli alla medicina umana. Studiare il DNA, i processi cellulari e i fattori ambientali che contribuiscono alla lunga vita di queste specie potrebbe offrire nuove prospettive su come prolungare la giovinezza e migliorare la qualità della vita. La straordinaria longevità di queste specie Un recente caso ha attirato l’attenzione: un ristoratore ha rilasciato in mare un astice dopo averlo allevato per 20 anni nel suo acquario. Questo astice, con un peso di ben 10 kg e un’età stimata di 130 anni, ha sollevato interrogativi sulla sua capacità di sopravvivere in natura dopo tanto tempo in cattività. Le aragoste e gli astici, infatti, non invecchiano come gli altri esseri viventi. La telomerasi è un enzima che protegge le estremità dei cromosomi, impedendo loro di accorciarsi durante la divisione cellulare. Negli esseri umani, essi si accorciano ad ogni divisione cellulare portandole inevitabilmente alla morte. Le aragoste, invece, riescono a mantenere queste estremità intatte. La loro crescita continua per tutta la vita cambiando regolarmente il loro esoscheletro. Questo processo diventa sempre più difficile man mano che crescono e, alla fine, muoiono non di vecchiaia, ma perché non riescono più a completare la muta. Read the full article

Crazy Spasm

For anyone that has pain with your multiple sclerosis or pain with any other disorder, I honestly have a lot of sympathy for you. I experienced a spasm that caused so much pain I couldn’t even move. It started as what I call an indigestion bubble. You ever get that gas bubble that travels trough your body and it can be painful. I always have to try to move or stretch for it to go away. Lately it…

My favourite quotes from Niki Lauda's book: "Reden wir Über Geld'

I expected him to spontaneously give me the finger - p6

I hate it when I go through security at the airport and the coins clatter around again. For this reason alone, the comparison with Scrooge McDuck, who likes to swim in money, is completely nonsense - p9

My mother regularly drove me to a Dentist behind the Vienna city hall, where I was tormented for years with regulations. I was more of a wimp, or as they say in Vienna: a slob - p13

My grandfather lived more like a real millionaire. He was the country's model industrialist and lived in a palace on the Ringstrasse with liveried servants who wore black uniforms and white gloves. Hans Lauda was the general director of the Veitsch Magnesitwerke. The Nazis dismissed him in 1938, but he returned to his post after the war. As president of the Austrian Industrial Association, he was one of the pioneers of social partnership and the economic miracle. He was also president of the Red Cross until 1974 and was therefore personally acquainted with Princess Grace Patricia, who was the president of the Red Cross in Monaco. In 1956 he organized aid for thousands of Hungarian refugees. I was only seven at the time, but I know from stories. - p14

Still in my pajamas, I heated up a toy steam engine. Beforehand, I mixed the water in the boiler with iron filings. Which of course wasn't such a good idea. There was an explosion and the hot steam burned my right thigh. My parents were done. I mostly argued with my brother Florian. To this day, we have no common interests, just the fact that we are brothers. One time I was lying in bed when Florian climbed onto the bedside table and tried to jump on me. I tipped the table over with my foot and my brother hit the floor. Then my father came and gave me a slap. Sometimes we played fire brigade together. To make the whole thing a bit more authentic and challenging, one day I brought a canister over, poured the petrol out lit it and ordered Florian to put out the fire. Although the hoses were ready, the fire briefly got out of control. The garage almost burned down and a few fruit trees were singed. - p15-16

I never dreamed of flying, and I certainly didn't see flying as a worthwhile hobby. I wanted to be faster. I wanted to save time. Because I was already earning a decent amount of money at the time, I had brought a Cessna Golden Eagle, had my own pilot and learned the practical side of things by flying with others. I became a student pilot and my preferred route was Salzburg-Bolgona. That made double sense. That's how I got into flying, got one license after another and four years later I founded an airline as the first Formula 1 driver and professional pilot. - p28

I also wanted to coax a private Ferrari out of the Commendatore, but he only gave me a Fiat - p34

I usually carry around 300 to 400 euros with me, 500 at the most. If there are several notes, I hold them together with a money clip. I've never had a wallet. I avoid coins in everyday life. Not that I don't value small change, but it's too heavy in my pockets and I don't like the clatter - p36

Max and Mia also like to play 'police' they drive wildly through the house on their astic scooters and I have to say: "Stop! You were driving too fast. That will cost you thirty euros." They then count to thirty together, in English. - p37

Brigit once asked me to take the bus because the twins like doing it so much. "Sure!" I said, "I'll do it. How do you pay?" In the end I let it go. - p38

I loved spinach even as a small child, because of popeye the sailor - p39

In Spielberg I once asked him: "Lewis, do you see anything about me that needs to be improved?" He didn't know whether to laugh or cry at that moment. Then he explained to me: "You should throw away that brown sweater immediately! That is the worst color for a man. And you need different pants! Not always the same ones and besides, they just don't fit." I enjoyed listening to that and thinking about it. But then I came to the following conclusion: Why should I change anything if everything is fine for me? "Thanks for the input", I said to Lewis, "but even if my blue jeans are down to my knees hang down, I just feel so comfortable in them." - p39/40

It was also Forghieri who came up with the idea of suggesting a sponsor for my red cap. "Watch out," he said one day, "there is a salami company that now wants to get into milk production, which would be interested in advertising." - p43-4

I crossed the finish line in a first Grand Prix, with Clay Regazzoni behind me, so it was a double victory for Ferrari, a true triumph. That night, they played Blue Danube Waltz in the disco in my honour. - p45

When I sit in the cockpit, for example, I notice every speck of dust. As a farewell gift, employees of LaudaAir gave me a man size brush as a nod to my cleanliness obsession - p52

Willi Dungl wanted to find out whether I had suffered trauma from the inferno. He once lit a fire in the fireplace at my home in Salzburg and said, "look at that Niki!" I looked inside, but nothing was moving. I also couldn't care less about the fire in the accident photo - p57-8

I had waited my whole life for a guy like Attila Dogudan - p91

Is Attila Dogudan my friend? I don't want to say anything wrong now. My perception of friendship around this is that people meet in the evenings and spend their hours talking about their worries. The only person who sometimes notices my worries is Birgit - sometimes she whistles at me! -p95/6

I would describe Atilla as my long-term companion - p96

If he didn't answer I would send him an SMS: "I'll cancel the entire catering if you don't call in five minutes." Of course he calls back immediately - p97

My brother Florian, who is 18 months younger than me, is a Buddhist - p107

But the main issue was a heart operation for a three year old boy called Soumitra. That cost a few thousand euros, which we transferred straight away. We then received photos of the child before and after the operation. Since then, when I meet Claudia, I always ask her; "how is my heart?" I mean the heart of this little Indian boy, who has been able to live a normal life since the operation. P109

Fourfiveseconds by Rihanna is such an incredibly great song. Lewis Hamilton, who now makes music himself, sometimes goes with me to promotional events. He is always amazed at the songs I have saved, like an old idiot. 'Some nights' by fun, or George Ezra'a Budapest. I have hundreds of songs like that saved on my iphone and listen to them over and over again - p114

When Birigt wants something from me and I'm feeling defiant, I play her, 'Hero' by Family of the year - p115

When we have a little tangle I play her 'Blame it on me' - p115

Sometimes Birgit, who loves red wine, jokes; "drink another glass of wine, my kidney needs it!" I then sip the glass because I just don't like red wine - like alchol in general - p117

In 2000 I came up with the idea of flying into space. There are several programs running for such flights. I already tried it out in a simulator in Houston, Texas - p122

Later on I explained to my boys that there are also people with two ears. We laughed together. - p143

When Lukas was 15, I took him to a strip club. Sex education. I was shocked myself at how close women were to him. They danced around and took off one thing after another. Lukas watched it all. When it was over he stood up, took off his shirt, and put it around the dancers shoulders so that she wouldn't freeze. It was a really caring gesture. Then I knew: that guy not only has manners, but also heart. Lukas wanted to invite her out but I advised him against it. - p143/144

Sometimes Marlene went crazy when she found out about one of my escapades but she never said a bad word about me in front of the children - p144

In her boundless generosity, Marlene would have taken Christoph into our family, but his mother didn't want that - p145
