Section I
The Impossible Dream

From time immemorial we have dreamt of becoming immortal.
That was, of course, impossible, but the dream was always there.

In the dark ages alchemists sought to transmute base metals into gold, wizards sought to find the elixir of life, a potion that would allow us to live forever. But for centuries the dream eluded the dreamer.

Finally, around the middle of the last century, nuclear physicists did manage to transmute some elements into others. Most notable amongst these was the transmutation of hydrogen into helium - and the hydrogen bomb. But the means of staving off aging still eluded us.

Now, at the beginning of the 21st Century, all this is about to change. Recent discoveries into the aging process are about to usher us through a new portal, a portal which may well take us through the aging process without the usual burden of decrepitude and decay: the portal that ushers us onto the Road to Longevity.
