title: [Unifying theory of aging].
abstract: Every aging theory intended to find the ultimate cause of aging, however, so far all have failed to present the clue as to why aging occurs. Senescence is a complex process and the aging hypotheses concentrated on only one or very few elements of this process. The goal of the Unifying Theory of Aging is to organize these theories into an organic complex. Despite all our hopes aging is inevitable, the present information level of the human system allows only a temporary existence of an individual in time. During aging the system gradually drifts away from the developmentally differentiated state, which results in loosing step-by step the capability to cope with the deteriorating entropy force of the environment. Nevertheless, it is still possible to increase the mean life span of the human population but without altering the present information level of the human system aging still remains an incurable disease.
