Everything about Eternal Youth totally explained
Eternal youth is the concept of human physical
immortality free of
aging. The
youth referred to is usually meant to be in contrast the depredations of aging, rather than a specific age of the human lifespan.
So far eternal youth remains beyond the capabilities of science to achieve. Much research, however, is currently being conducted in the sciences of genetics which may allow manipulation of the aging process at some time in the future. It remains a popular theme in
fiction.
Mythology
The difference between eternal life and the more specific eternal youth is a recurrent theme in
Greek and
Roman mythology. The
mytheme of requesting the boon of immortality from a god, but forgetting to ask for eternal youth appears in the story of
Tithonus. A similar theme is found in
Ovid regarding the
Cumaean Sibyl.
In
Norse mythology,
Iðunn is described as providing the gods
apples that grant them eternal youthfulness in the 13th century
Prose Edda.
