Longevity escape velocity
DELongevity Escape Velocity (Lebenserwartungs-Fluchtgeschwindigkeit)
Longevity escape velocity describes a hypothetical threshold at which medical advances extend remaining life expectancy by more than one year per calendar year, effectively outrunning aging. Popularized by biogerontologist Aubrey de Grey in the early 2000s, it remains a speculative concept rather than an empirically validated milestone. Mainstream geroscience treats it as an aspirational framing rather than a near-term forecast.
