Man, I am getting old or what...
Getting old means missing a silly meme

I thought radiation was the biggest cause of our bodies wearing out?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-radical_theory

well, it kinda goes hand-in-hand I would say. The energy transferred from (background) radiation can have a similar effect by creating radicals. Normally both are weak forces in our daily life and our cells have systems to counter their effects, but it's thought that over our life-time it ultimately accumulates until it caps our lifespan*/our body aged.
*among other factors

It's just that it's ironic in the case of oxygen :D


Though maybe you also refer more specifically to UV radiation, because yeah, excessive sunbathing etc. will make your skin age really fast.



Keanu probably uses an reducing molecule to breath ;)
