A few of my own thoughts on the nature of spacetime:

Spacetime is the viscous medium that determines the rate at which things can happen. The relative thickness of the medium at any point affects the rate of possible actions, such as changes in velocity or interactions between particles.

Viscosity in the spacetime medium doesn’t decelerate a moving object. Instead, it affects the ability for an object to change its current relativistic velocity. The faster an object moves or within a large enough gravity well, the slower its interactions are and its changes in velocity relative to the observer.

I post these meme collections from @[100000595164758:2048:Mi Robin] because if I posted all the ones that I like individually there would be too many on my timeline.

Anti-aging scientists are researching Glutathione antioxidant and it maintains mitochondrial function, so more of it could improve energy levels. Here are some calculations that I’ve done if you want to find out what amount is right for you. The scientists don’t prescribe a specific amount, and it might be different for people depending on their weight and age. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaxY7LpuSFo

I read the paper and created a calculation to translate the mmol/kg/day quantity to g/kg/day quantity. Basically how many grams per day you should take to replicate the experiment on yourself. I’d appreciate anyone checking my calculations. Though it’s been a very long time since I’ve taken Chemistry in school, I used this page to check my work on calculating molar mass to grams: https://planetcalc.com/6777/ I put in the compound formula, select moles to grams, enter the quantity in moles (not millimoles), select 4 digits after decimal point, then click calculate.

But first calculate your weight in kilograms from pounds. https://www.google.com/search?q=pounds+to+kg+calculator

From the paper: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1002/ctm2.372 OAs were provided capsules of glycine (1.33 mmol/kg/day) and cysteine (0.81 mmol/kg/day, provided as Nacetylcysteine [NAC]) prepared by a licensed pharmacist, and replenished every 4-weeks for 24-weeks. (What does this mean “replenished every 4-weeks for 24-weeks”?)

1.33 mmol = 0.00133 mol and 0.81 mmol = 0.00081 mol Glycine C₂H₅NO₂ (C2H5NO2) has molar mass = 75.067 N-acetylcysteine (C5H9NO3S) has molar mass = 163.197

Experiment quantity in mols (Xmol) * molar mass * body mass in kg Quantity (mol/kg) * molar mass (g/mol) * body mass (kg) = suggested use in grams Glycine C2H5NO2: 0.00133 * 75.067 * (body mass) = grams of Glycine N-acetylcysteine C5H9NO3S: 0.00081 * 163.197 * (body mass) = grams of N-acetylcysteine

There’s more to this though. I’m thinking there is a linear relationship in the loss of Glycine and N-acetylcysteine between the age groups. It was a small sample size, but: “Eight OA (five women, three men; 71–80 years) and eight gender-matched young adults (YAs) (21–30 years) who volunteered to participate in the study were recruited and enrolled” So I averaged them to be 25 y/o and 75 y/o age groups. Since I’m not 75 year old, maybe I need a smaller quantity, so here is another calculation to determine the smaller proportion for me. Proportion in grams based on age = (age – 25) / (75 – 25)

Glycine C2H5NO2: 7.5 * proportion = grams by proportion of Glycine N-acetylcysteine C5H9NO3S: 9.9 * proportion = grams by proportion of N-acetylcysteine

Most supplements that you find online are going to be in the quantities of 500 mg to 1000 mg, so you’ll probably have to round it.
