I did not ask what nanotechnology is. I have a sci-fi fans knowledge of the topic. I asked how did you draw that conclusion given the exchange between the two characters in the link to the YouTube clip.

I didn't watch the video clip until just now. In biology, there is a limited number of cell divisions per organism, this is part of the mechanism responsible for aging, I think this is an advantage in that it reduces unlimited cellular division in cancer. There is no physical reason why living things must age, the human body repairs itself to a limited extent, advanced technology may find a way around this aging mechanism and find a way to repair the human body indefinitely, but there is more to being a God than just biological immortality.
