Longevity Escape Velocity is the hypothetical point in time where advances in anti-aging medicine increase a person’s remaining life expectancy by more than one year for every year that passes. At this stage, the pace of medical breakthrough outstrips the pace of biological decay, essentially allowing an individual to “stay ahead” of death from old age indefinitely.

The term is a direct analogy to the escape velocity required for a rocket to break free from Earth’s gravity.
