Aging is best explained by declining mitochondrial function over time. This answers its own “why.” Mitochondria produce the energy needed for repair so if any of it gets lost it sets up a vicious cycle. And some *always* gets lost. But how much is under your control. From Joe Rogan Experience 2420. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBn54YNnKD0 #joeroganexperience #mitochondria #aging It’s a vicious cycle initiated by the second law of thermodynamics which requires a constant input of energy to pre

Riemann rectangles are a way to approximate the area under a curve by dividing the interval into smaller subintervals and constructing rectangles whose heights correspond to the function’s value at selected points within each subinterval. The width of each rectangle is called “dx” (or Δx), and as dx decreases—meaning the rectangles get thinner—the approximation becomes more accurate. This is because thinner rectangles better conform to the curve’s shape, reducing the amount of overestimation or
