CLAUDE SHANNON’S 1948 SOLUTION TO RECOVERING LOST INFORMATION DURING DATA TRANSMISSIONS LED TO CELL PHONES AND THE INTERNET. It may also be the solution to reversing aging. Source: C. E. Shannon, “A Mathematical Theory of Communication,” Bell System Technical Journal 27, no. 3 (July 1948): 379–423 and 27, no. 4 (October 1948): 623–66. To end aging as we know it, we need to find three more things that Shannon knew were essential for a signal to be restored even if it is obscured by noise: An “observer” who records the original data The original “correction data” And a “correcting device” to
