Worms that have been dead for over 45,000 years have been brought back to life

[John Clark]

Scientists have brought back to life Nematode worms that have been buried 130 feet under the Siberian permafrost for between 45,839 and 47,769  years according to Carbon-14 tests. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute in Germany have now bred these worms for over 100 generations (worm generations are about 10 days long) and they say it is a species of Nematode that has never been seen before. They call it "Panagrolaimus kolymaensis". The lead researcher says:

"Basically, you only have to bring the worms into amenable conditions, on a culture (agar) plate with some bacteria, some humidity and room temperature, they just start crawling around then. They also just start reproducing. In this case this is even easier, as it is an all-female (asexual) species. They don‘t need to find males and have sex, they just start making eggs, which develop."

You sir, have been something of an enthusiast for the Big Chill as a means of survival, so this looks like evidence to me that you may be correct?

It's favorable evidence but it doesn't prove that human Cryonics will work, however it certainly proves that the old cliché that claims freezing and then thawing a cell always turns it into undifferentiated mush is not true.  Human Cryonics will be proven to work on the very day it becomes obsolete and is no longer needed, the day that Drexler style Nanotechnology becomes available .

If we go by Kurzweil, and I am open to his views, that day will be 7 years away in 2030. His view? Medical nanotechnology that will make K. Eric Drexler, a happy primate. Perhaps yourself, as well? On the other hand, laws and economics will then have to be changed, and you may be forced by eddict to pursue income, perhaps off-planet, so as to allow the young folks to have gainful employment, IF AI permits this?

Drexler didn't say that Nanotechnology will necessarily make human primates happier, he said that when we enter the age of Nanotechnology things will become eye-wateringly different. Personally I think the Singularity will be a meat grinder, an individual might survive it and they might not, there's no way to tell. That's why they call it a singularity.

Hamsters and rats can be frozen and reanimated by microwaves:

It was theorized that it would work with larger mammals but the technical problem is heating the entire animal all at once.

Contrary to the common belief that microwaves heat from the inside out, they heat from the outside in.
