Zomato founder and Eternal CEO Deepinder Goyal has teased the upcoming launch of Temple, an experimental device designed to monitor brain blood flow in real time.
Sharing a brief glimpse of the product on Instagram with the caption “Getting there,” Goyal reignited curiosity around the small golden device he was recently spotted wearing on his right temple.
Earlier on LinkedIn, Goyal described Temple as an “experimental device to calculate Brain Flow accurately, real-time, and continuously,” developed during his work on the much-discussed Gravity Ageing Hypothesis.
Last month, Goyal published a series of posts outlining his unconventional scientific theory that gravity could directly influence human ageing. “I’m not sharing this as the CEO of Eternal but as a fellow human curious enough to follow a strange thread… Newton gave us a word for it. Einstein said it bends spacetime. I am saying gravity shortens lifespan,” he wrote.
He also explored possible links between three established concepts:
Minor reductions in brain blood flow caused by upright posture,
Extreme sensitivity of hypothalamus and brainstem neurons to small dips in circulation, and
The crucial role these brain regions play in ageing regulation.
Goyal revealed that he has been personally testing Temple for a year and believes it could evolve into a major health-tech wearable. “Brain Flow is already well accepted as a biomarker for ageing, longevity and cognition. So this device is useful and relevant even if the Gravity Ageing Hypothesis turns out to be wrong,” he wrote.
Addressing speculation that the hypothesis was created to promote Temple, Goyal clarified: “Temple is going to be a small, cute company, if at all. Nothing compared to Eternal… We did not cook up the Gravity Ageing Hypothesis to sell Temple. Not my game to lose the trust our customers have in me over a marketing gimmick.”
The research behind Temple is being conducted by Continue Research, Goyal’s Human Existence Exploration Project, which he says has spent the past two years studying biology in search of ways to slow down human ageing.
