Did the scientists at least think the worms were getting better on the drums?

I wonder how this is going to advance the status of cryogenic freezing.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It won't. That's simply not possible for an organism as large and complex as a human being. You can watch this for a more detailed explanation.

Not yet atleast, until human genetic engineering is legalized

How would that solve the issue presented in the paper the video mentions?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

One of the issues with cryonics in large animals is sufficiently saturating all of the tissues with cryoprotectants to prevent frostbite. Some have speculated that it might be possible to engineer an organism to produce it's own cryoprotectant proteins inside all of its cells, as some arctic fish and insects do.

That wouldn't help with getting even heat into all of the tissues for thawing though.

The Russians were pissed when all of their soldiers died and only SG-1 made it out alive.

The dictionary definition says more than two, but it also says it mean some; which has a definition of an unspecified amount.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Unspecified amount which is greater than two.

One funny thing about the dictionary is that complex words are explained in simple language and simple words are explained in complex language.
