Ray Kurzweil called it:

So by 2032, we'll be able to go through all the different possibilities. So you'll get back at least a year. As you go past 2032, you'll actually get back more than a year, but you won't die of aging at that point.

On the record. Nobody can edit it, including Ray.

No test — this claim will not resolve

No machine-checkable test was locked with this record, so it is preserved rather than scored. Thonest never invents a threshold or deadline the speaker did not give.

This is kept for what it is: something said, on a date, from a source anyone can check. No test was locked, so nothing settles it and it is never counted for or against anyone. Thonest will not invent a threshold or a date that was never said — a claim scored against criteria written afterwards would prove nothing.

Reactions are about the record being worth keeping — never about whether the person was right. They are never counted for or against anyone, and never used to rank anything.

✓ The anchored proof cannot be rewritten, and the published record is append-only by default. Everything that happened afterward is in the history above — corrections are appended, never silently edited in.

Verify this record yourself

The check runs in your browser and reads the anchored root straight from a public Base node — not from Thonest. How this works.

Disputes

No disputes have been filed. If something here is wrong — a misquote, a wrong date, a misattributed source — say so and it gets answered on the record. How disputes work.
