Why You Have Less Energy as You Age The Physics Behind Fatigue — Feynman's Unsettling Answer

Описание: #PhysicsOfLife #Mitochondria #LongevityScience #Metabolism #HealthEducation #Entropy #Fatigue #ScienceExplained
What if feeling tired isn't just "getting old" but something the laws of physics actually predicted? You eat the same food, get the same sleep, yet somehow, you just don't have the energy you used to.
Turns out, your body creates and recycles over 50 kilograms of a molecule called ATP every single day, more than your body weight. And the machinery responsible for that? It's been slowly degrading since you were born.
This seems like a simple metabolic problem. But when you look deeper, you find something unsettling. The same laws that govern stars and engines apply to your cells. And those laws have something uncomfortable to say about why you feel the way you do.
In this video, we explore what Richard Feynman might have said about energy, entropy, and aging, drawing on thermodynamic principles, Schrödinger's "What is Life?", and modern research on mitochondrial function. It's a physics lecture disguised as a biology lesson.
