While in Puerto Rico, he started hearing rumors
of an island far to the north, called Bimini, where there was a water source
that restored vigor and youth to those that drank of it's water. This is the
story of the Fountain of Youth, located in Florida. Ponce de Le?n petitioned the
Spanish Crown, requesting permission to explore and subjugate these lands to the
north for Spain. His petition did not mention anything about the search for this
fountain, but did ask for the usual things, like converting natives to
Christianity, search for gold, silver, spices, pearls, slaves (although the
Queen did not approve of this, the King was of the feeling that the capture of
Indians for slave labor, was a necessity), etc
On February 23, 1512, Ponce de Le?n received
approval for the expedition, making him Adelantado and granting him civil and
criminal jurisdiction over all the territories he explored for the rest of his
life. Like most of these grants, he was expected to pay for the expense of the
venture with no help from the King. Although the King would receive his Qinto
(fifth) and other benefits from any treasures discovered.
Ponce de Le?n sailed from San German, San Juan
Bautista in the afternoon of March 3rd, 1513 with a fleet of three
ships and about 65 men. The settlers consisted of sailors to man the ships, some
soldiers and some adventurers. The went to Aguada to take on fresh water, and sailed bound to Bimini on March 4th...

The man who made the Statue of Liberty appear to vanish may soon claim to do the same for unsightly bags and wrinkles. Master illusionist David Copperfield says he has found the "Fountain of Youth" in the southern Bahamas, amid a cluster of four tiny islands he recently bought for $50 million (26.4 million pounds).One of his islands in the Exuma chain, Musha Cay, is a private resort that rents for up to $300,000 a week and the otherislands serve as buffers to keep prying eyes...Ponce de Leon and the Fountain of Youth
The activity of the Spanish adventurers in their search for
gold was unceasing, and this eager desire for riches led to a far more rapid
exploration of the American continent than could have been accomplished under
any other incitement. It was this that led Balboa in his perilous journey across
the Isthmus, and that was the inciting cause of the remarkable achievements of
Cortez and Pizarro. The same wild thirst for wealth led a succession of bold
adventurers northward, and gave ri...Anti-aging molecule discovered
A team of South Korean scientists on Sunday claimed to have created a "cellular fountain of youth," or a small molecule, which enables human cells to avoid aging and dying. The team, headed by Prof. Kim Tae-kook at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, argued the newly-synthesized molecule, named CGK733, can even make cells younger. The findings were featured by the Britain-based Nature Chemical Biology online early today and will be printed as a cover story in the jo...Finding the Fountain of Youth
Cynthia Kenyon wants to live to be 150 years old, if she's young and engaged in life. "Who wouldn't?" she asks in a breathless whisper, telling me that humans might be able to live a very long time, if not forever. Kenyon's long, angular face is framed by straight blond hair parted in the middle. She talks excitedly, waving long, graceful fingers as her words spill out almost too fast to follow about how her lab at the University of California at San Francisco has increased...Juan Ponce de Le?ns expedition to find the fountain of youth

Scientists have reversed the effects of ageing on the skin of mice by blocking the action of a specific protein. In two-year old mice, Californian researchers found that they could rejuvenate skin to look more youthful. Further analysis published in the journal Genes and Development showed the skin had the same genetic profile as the skin of newborn mice. The team said the research would most likely lead to treatments to improve healing in older human patients. They stressed it was unlikely to b...Will immortaility be possible in 20 years ?
World-renowned scientist Ray Kurzweil believes that it won"t be long before we can reverse aging.Kurzweil has also predicted that we will soon be able to replace any failing organ in the body with an artificial equivalent, that we will be able to scuba dive underwater for hours at a time and that it will be possible to write entire books within minutes. The basis for these predictions, in addition to his own experiences, isthe exponential rate at which technology is currently advancin...Fountain of Youth hidden in a fog of mysteries
More legends and myths are told about Bimini than any other Bahama Island. Bimini, some claim, is the peak of the ancient continent of Atlantis, and many visitors to the island are descendants of Atlanteans, who are magically drawn to the home of their forefathers. Theories such as this one are based mainly on the "visions" of self-declared U.S. American "psychic" Edgar Cayce as well as on an admittedly astounding formation of rocks in the sea near the island. The leg...
