i decided i wanted to throw some random eccentric billionaire thoughts around again if you didn't mind. so here's my take, if batteries need a positive and negative to complete a circuit, to have the ions transfer from + to - in use to create the energy to be used, if one were to make a metal with energy strong enough to push its own ions in a singular cycle that would cycle back to itself without needs to transfer from + to - but would jsut be pushed in one perfect circle without the need for outside intervention, would it be able to produce energy theoretically infinitely based on its ability to constantly go in a singular cycle and create electricity as a by product that is then leeched off the cycle and used for other purposes.
Secondly, since the main reason the human body degrades and dies is because the cells themselves are copied repeatedly and end up losing the features it needs as a photo repeatedly photocopied will, what if one were to say every 6 months take a sample of a humans stem cells and introduce a chemical that would inhibit a response making them replicate and then be reinserted into key parts of the body at the next visit 6 months later, therefore extending the human bodies life exponentially, slowing down the degrading effects of time on the body and leaving the cells themselves renewed, making the effect of the 6 month visit itself useful, but the renewal increasing the effectiveness of the replication of the cells due to the cells being constantly refreshed with younger cells.

@HoundOfGod,
Sounds like a poor substitute for monopolar magnets.
well its jsut random thoughts i had and i wanted other opinions on it and if it were even possible given the progression of technology, as we are constantly discovering new elements in the HC and new ways to put things together, i also wanted to find out if anyone had made such things or leaps in science, so thank you so far for your insights guys
@roger,
would u care to enlighten a ignorant schlep as myself on what you are speaking of?
@HoundOfGod,
Sorry, whenever I try to get into technical details I end up providing misinformation.

Hound, Rog is simply kidding you a little
but long story short, would it be possible to have a material without a +/- and have it generate a single continuous circuit of power that could generate electricity or some useful byproduct in a useful size to the size required of the material that could go on near indefinitely if only siphoned off instead of used directly.

This doesn't mean anything.
@contrex,
as in lets say, im letting a waterfall move a water wheel, now yes i can use the water wheel to directly crush wheat, but if i siphoned the energy instead of directly using it i get a "power plant" of sorts.

What does "siphon energy off" mean? How do you siphon it off without using it?
@dalehileman,
You didn't have to tell him, Dale.
@contrex,
well use the byproduct of the system not directly using the system. like the human body produced heat when physical activity occurs, now the heat isnt directly needed by the body to do what it wants to continue working, but if u were to lets say use that created heat as energy for another task, u are not directly using the human body, but siphoning off excess byproducts.
So how does that apply to magic metal with infinite energy?
How old are you?
@contrex,
u dont have to be an ass. i said if lets say a lithuim battery works through positive ions moving into a negative material during use and the reverse during charging hence the need for charging, if u had a material that could push ions through a complete circuit without needing to switch from + to - to create a current then u could use the made current without interfering directly, making the system run much longer if at a lower usage then possible.

You started it, posting stuff which doesn't actually make sense. Maybe you should review this material:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpetual_motion
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamics
@HoundOfGod,
Supercooled materials have extremely low resistance to electrical flow and may approach the type of "material" you hypothesize. And recent physics theories propose that dark matter may be made up of particles which have a torus shaped electrical field instead of a polar one. But regardless of those two possibilities, you can't get any "work" out of an energy flow like that without draining it or introducing resistance. So none of those types of systems would be perpetual motion, they would simply be stable electrochemical formations.
As for the genetic modifications you describe, I just don't know the details of what's possible, or likely yet. But I'm sure there are many people working on various methodologies to compensate for the degradation of telomeres in genetic replication.
