Olshansky's Theorem

Olshansky's Theorem relates to the growth of human populations and the potential for longevity. It suggests that while life expectancy has increased significantly, there is a limit to how long humans can live, influenced by biological factors. Essentially, the theorem posits that while some individuals may live exceedingly long lives, the average lifespan for humanity reaches a point of saturation. In other words, we can improve health and longevity, but there is a natural boundary to how long we can live due to genetic and physiological constraints.
