5 sources for · 0 against

Biological aging and the limits of longevity are governed by thermodynamic constraints, specifically entropy production and information loss, which theoretical and empirical models indicate make biological immortality unachievable.

Life’s a Gas: A Thermodynamic Theory of Biological Evolution
2015 · cited by 61
The paper uses thermodynamic principles and entropy production to frame biological evolution and the inevitable dynamics of living systems.

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently support the thermodynamic perspective on aging and life spans. Papers like [6] and [9] explicitly link thermodynamic biological age and entropy production to the limits of age reversal and the impossibility of halting the aging drift. Papers [2], [4], and [10] provide the broader thermodynamic context of living systems maintaining non-equilibrium states. None of the papers refute the claim.
