For a few years now, we have been creating animations for “42 – The Answer to Almost Everything” that work in a hybrid form: animated elements meet live-action footage.
In this .tv series, profound questions about life and the universe are met with scientific insight and witty humor. Narrated by brilliant thinkers and well-known voices like Nora Tschirner or Sibel Kekilli, the show is seeking answers to life, the universe, and everything in between.
In episode no. 37, “Will We Live Forever?”, we follow scientists around the world who are exploring how to extend human life. In Singapore, Andrea Maier tests existing drugs that could slow aging, while Claudia Waskow studies “zombie cells” - old cells that cause damage to their surroundings. Experiments in mice show that clearing these cells can extend lifespan, but for humans, the key will be a mix of science and lifestyle to extend life and stay healthy along the way.
Although this episode is no longer available online, you can discover more fascinating “42” stories on .tv (link in bio). And stay tuned, we will be sharing more of our work from the series soon!
