I think it we are all trying to extend life span and health span and most importantly health span. If most people were given a choice live until 75 but look like and have the heath of 30 year old or live to 100 but with your average aging we would choose the first one. But the I think the disappointment is we are all looking into this mystery on how to extend life span and health and we looked to ray for this and had higher expectations and ray wasn’t born with this knowledge he had to learn it along the way , but if he had all this knowledge at 20 and avoided damage from food and the environment he might of lived to 150.
Benjamin Ferencz, a former prosecutor of the Nuremberg trials told this story about 16th century astronomer Tycho Brahe in a documentary I watched.
Let me tell you a story. Tycho Brahe was an astronomer who felt that he wanted to find out the meaning of the universe. So he persuaded the king in power that he should build him an astronomical laboratory on the island of Hven, and there he built his observatory. And every night, he went out and he viewed the stars and he put them down in a chart. And he had done that for about 25 years.
New king came on the throne. They said, look, we've got something going on there near Elsinore. So the treasury people came out and they said, old man, wake up, wake up, king wants to know what you've been doing here these last 25 years. All he said, I've been watching the skies.
Watching the skies? What for? He said, well, to make a chart. And I have 97 volumes, exact. Each one I have measured myself. And I can tell you the movement of every one of those stars.
Well, what's the use of it? What do you intend to do with that? He said, I hope to live to get 100. 100 volumes of the same thing? What's the utility? What can you do with that? Well, he said, I admit that I was trying to find out the meaning of the universe, and I haven't found it yet. But I believe that someday, somebody will, and I will have saved that person 25 years of labor. And when the American astronauts landed on the moon, they had with them the tables of Tycho.
So there it is. It's an inspirational story, the watcher of the sky. I am watching the sky. That's it.
So not only did Ray save lives of thousands and improve the health of many of us ,Ray Peat saved us 80 years of labor @haidut and hundred of others using rays work to find the meaning of the universe, along with health and life span. So one day when find the missing pieces that completes rays work he will get credit for his work like when American astronauts took the tables of Tycho with them when they landed in the moon.
