Would I be able to make immortality for myself if I learned everything about science?.

Science isn't about the answers themselves. It's a process that helps us find answers, correcting for bias, flawed perception, and imperfect logic along the way. If you magically knew everything there is to know, then maybe. That's the problem with what we don't know - a lot of it is stuff we don't know that we don't know. If you mean knowing the current sum of human knowledge, then the answer is no. What we know about biology hasn't even gotten us close to immortality, and probably won't in the foreseeable future.

Haha.
I watched a video today in biology class that explained how we could possibly be able to live longer. For all of you who don't believe its possible, read and learn. The video was actually on cancer cells and it also explained the DNA in cells.
As we grow, cells in our body undergo mitosis. That is the duplication of DNA, distribution of DNA, and the splitting of the cell. As DNA is duplicated, enzymes that copy the DNA often miss part of the chromosome. This end is "chopped off" and it disappears. Cells that have completely no more readable DNA to copy just die. That is why we die; the cells in old bodies don't have the physical ability to reproduce.
However, there is another enzyme that helps to rebuild the part of the DNA that breaks off. This enzyme adds the new genes to the DNA and entirely rebuilds the chromosome. Sadly for humans, the genes needed to produce this DNA building enzyme is only present when we are undergoing meiosis, when we are just a tiny bunch of cells growing (right after a sperm and egg cell combine). After we are fully grown as a baby, we do not have the genes to build this enzyme.
Scientists are researching this enzyme. They have actually tested it on mice and they have appeared young again. If humans would gain this enzyme in their older years, then we could live forever.
The source gives information about the telomeres, that help to control the chromosomes by not allowing the ends to fuse with other chromosomes. However, this end gets shorter every time the cell undergoes mitosis.

No.
Science has not learned the secret of immortality.
Even if you knew EVERYTHING about science , you cannot know what science does not know, and you WOULD NOT know how to make yourself immortal.

No, its not possible to be immortal, you can't stop accidents or other people intent on hurting others.
-
No because even though you have the knowledge do you have the means to apply the knowledge?
Our tech is not on par with our intellect.

you watch too much science fiction
