A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.

That's a very interesting article. Every year or so, I look for a bit of news on what's up with geroscience, and I think this stuff with senescent cells sounds more promising than anything else I've read about. It would be nice if this works out.

Lab grown meat still far off, but definitely in sight.

They eliminated one potential source of systematic error, but I guess that's not glamorous enough as a headline. Don't get me wrong, it's a totally cool finding, but I'm hesitant to hope that New Physics has been discovered. 60 ns is a really small deviation and it will probably be some time before this is fully confirmed.
