Arthur Clarke's idea of reduced gravity prolonging significantly human life. Sadly, the available evidence does not quite point in this direction. But for a sci-fi story it might be quite OK (e.g. it is discovered that microgravity prevents Alzheimers').
Even though it could make for an interesting story, I would be very wary of making up scientific facts that future research may render obsolete.
