For several years scientists were aware of a particular creature living in the sea. It is a jellyfish, very little times from that we are used to seeing. The fact that he is immortal, is a very interesting puzzle and experts are trying to shed light on the immortality of the candle.
The lifespan of the lamp belongs nutricola Turritopsis species, which is actually really interesting. On the outside of the body, the lamp has a few cells that have the ability to reproduce and give the body a new skill, in necessary situations. These cells remain covered throughout life, which makes jellyfish his normal life and when he becomes older, or is facing a stressful situation, dies, except those cells.
The body of the candle remains a gelatinous mass that serves for protection, while the cells developed again covered. In this way the lamp starts to grow again and return to the state of an adult, while still maintaining such cells in his body. In this way it manages to regenerate again. Practically from the biological standpoint, this is immortal jellyfish. In fact it is not immortality, as we understand. It is as if we conserve some identical cells in the laboratory, such as when we are simply an embryo. At the moment we die, these cells can grow back and give life to what might be our brother. Adult embryo is genetically identical to that which is dead.
Of course, the immortality of the body covers only prolong life, in the sense that it would be possible for a man to have the same ability to candle, to be immortal. This can be done, but only to resist aging.
His ability does not actually save the other causes of death, for example in case it ends up in the digestive tract of predator.
