For those under the age of 50, there is now real and genuine hope of being able to live indefinitely.

[QUOTE=Detective P;22247884]I disagree with this timeline.
They're leaving out the part with the oil wars, Chinese/Russian invasion of the West, or Western invasion of Russia, the nuclear terrorist attack on (Pick one: Tel Aviv, DC, New York, Moscow, London), the nuclear skirmish between Pakistan and India and the resulting famines in China and Russia, the second Korean War, the great plague, the drying of the oil wells, the massive foot-based ground wars, the dissolution of governments, and the end of society.
None of the things in that timeline will happen, well, maybe some, but they won't last long, because it's all dependent on very limited resources and would cause only more destabilization of the world politically and economically and push us further apart.
By the end of our lives, I see it more likely to become Children of Men and not Minority Report.[/QUOTE]
Russia won't invade the west, but China might.
