Earth's Oxygen to Vanish in a Billion Years, NASA-Led Study Predicts
A NASA-led study, in collaboration with Toho University, forecasts that Earth's oxygen will deplete in a billion years. The aging sun, growing hotter and more luminous, will disrupt the carbon cycle, diminishing plant life and oxygen production. This will lead to an atmosphere rich in methane, making complex life unsustainable, leaving only hardy microbes. Climate change is a short-term threat, while this is a long-term event.

Muscle Function Resilient Despite Significant NAD Depletion, Challenging Anti-Aging Hype
A recent study challenges the widely accepted role of NAD in muscle health and aging. Researchers found that significant NAD depletion in mice skeletal muscles did not impair muscle function, exercise capacity, or accelerate aging. This research questions the effectiveness of NAD-boosting supplements and calls for a re-evaluation of NAD's role in energy metabolism and age-related decline.

NASA, Universities Predict Earth's Oxygen Depletion in One Billion Years
Research indicates Earth's oxygen levels will decline in about one billion years as the aging Sun heats the planet, disrupting climate systems and weakening the carbon cycle. The atmosphere will revert to a state similar to early Earth, rich in methane and poor in oxygen, leading to the extinction of complex life. Scientists emphasize that while this is a long-term concern, climate change remains a pressing challenge.
