Ah, well, yes, that estimate came from Dr Aubrey de Grey, who is chief scientific officer at a charity in California called SENS.
They're out to promote research into regenerative medicine, which they say will slow ageing.
His theory is that technology will advance at such a pace that by the time I reach old age, there will be enough technology around to keep me alive for another 30 years.
which in turn will be enough for further technological advances, which will keep me going for another 30 years and so on.
He told me, over a slightly fuzzy line from the Swiss Alps, that it's not as crazy as it seems.
I understand the logic, but why 1,000?
Well, Dr de Grey says that something will kill you eventually, even if you keep the effects of ageing at bay.
Yes, don't worry, Tim.
I'm always careful.
See you next week.
