    Google has always prided itself on trying for the extraordinary. Having succesfully mapped a massive chunk of the world above sea level with driven vehicles, they’ve turned their attention to the oceans. When they aren’t photographing the Great Barrier Reef or translating the web into 64 different languages, they’re trying to make you immortal. Meet project Calico.

    Announced by co-founder Larry Page, Calico will “focus on health and well-being, in particular the challenge of ageing and associated diseases.”

    Page continued, saying:

    Illness and ageing affect all our families. With some longer term, moonshot thinking around healthcare and biotechnology, I believe we can improve millions of lives. It’s impossible to imagine anyone better than Art—one of the leading scientists, entrepreneurs and CEOs of our generation—to take this new venture forward.

    Are people really focused on the right things? One of the things I thought was amazing is that if you solve cancer, you’d add about three years to people’s average life expectancy.”

    We think of solving cancer as this huge thing that’ll totally change the world. But when you really take a step back and look at it, yeah, there are many, many tragic cases of cancer, and it’s very, very sad, but in the aggregate, it’s not as big an advance as you might think.

    Arthur D. Levinson, the Chairman of Apple, has been announced as Calico’s CEO.
