First scientists figured out how to turn worms into homosexuals. Now they’ve learned how to make them live almost forever. Can they do the same for us?

An antidepressant drug called mianserin extended the lifespan of nematode worms by almost a third. According to BBC News, “the drug seems to mimic the effects on the body of the only known animal long-life regime?virtual starvation.”

Researcher Linda Buck says, “We don’t have any explanation for this. All we can say is that if we give the drug to calorific-restricted animals, it doesn’t increase their lifespan any further.” So at least we won’t have to starve too!

In June of 1998, Whitley Strieber found himself in a conversation with a man he has come to call the Master of the Key. During this conversation, recorded in Whitley’s book, The Key, the Master said, “There are more galaxies in your universe than there are stars in your galaxy, and more universes in the firmament than there are galaxies in your universe.” At the time, the idea that there is only one universe was scientific bedrock, but now that belief is being challenged by one of the most extraordinary discoveries in the history of science. True to the Master of the Key’s statement, it appears that another whole universe has been found.

In Whitley’s latest journal he writes: “This morning I opened the latest issue of the New Scientist and found myself reading that a SECOND universe is apparently out there beyond our own. I have to admit that I was, quite simply, knocked speechless. This is because, when I was talking to the Master of the Key, he said that there were universes beyond our own. However, at the time, I rejected his statement as obviously incorrect, and changed the subject.” Was he ever surprised!
