Disclaimer: I am not a professional or actual expert on the subject, my knowledge consists of research when I’m bored. And also this is also theoretical science, meaning there is much evidence to support it, but it’s definitely proved.

Ok moving on.

In any movie involving space travel, you have probably heard the term, Hyperspace, or light speed travel. Well Space Travel isn’t that easy. The Planet, Kepler-452b would take around 28 Million years to get to at the speed of light. Space Travel is dangerous too, astronauts risk their lives every day just by being there. So if Space Travel takes way too long and that’s enough time for bad things to happen, how could we ever travel? I have thought of two methods.

Wormholes

Wormholes are not confirmed to exist, so therefor this is not a viable option with our current understanding. But If they do exist, we could easily use them to travel and explore other planets.

Cryosleep

Also not real with current technology, but if we did figure it out then we could just wait out the long travel. Of course we’d need some type of protection.

If you have any ideas I’d love to hear them.

Well there is an actual way to hibernate. Doctors sometimes take out a patient's blood and put in chilled salt water (saline) to chill their bodyand put them to sleep to drastically decrease the risk of brain damage. If they create a program that will put their blood back and take the saline out in, let's say, 40 years, it might work.

The protection could be people who are woken up periodically and let's say, stay awake for a year, then the next people are woken up and the person who was awake goes back into hibernation.

keeping the cells alive, you’d need to keep them from diving, or find a way to keep them from breaking when they die, so you could jump start them

also I didn’t address the fact that Traveling faster than the speed of light is impossible. This is the fact because beyond it, Space time doesn’t exist

Tardigrades aren’t immortal, they still age. they just have high resistance

Or you could keep them on bypass. The blood is flowing but a machine is flowing it for them.

Yes but the cells would need to stay alive and stop dividing, that’s what causes aging

or we could kill them, then jumpstart them. The only problem is cells break apart when they die

Killing them and jump starting them would be a bit weird because it probably won't work after they have been dead for 10+ years.

why not, the atoms are still there, ready to be a chemical reaction. But the cells breaking is the problem

isn’t permanent, and that doesn’t account for cell damage

wait, i've been reminded of something...Immortal jellyfish anyone? are they actually immortal (as in, 'resetting' their age) or is that just a catchy name

i've officially left. thanks for the memories!

Djdndnejwnwn

Member2KMay-25-2021 6:48 PM

that’s a thing, but technically they just get young then old then young and again and again

expecting the worst, sets you up for thr worst

Kattozilla

MemberConversationalistMay-25-2021 6:53 PM

so...basically immortal

they can still die, just i don't think of age. maybe though.

also turns out there are a few other things that can do that

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_immortality

heres a thing on it

maybe we could do something with this?

i've officially left. thanks for the memories!

Member2KMay-25-2021 6:59 PM

Hmmm, maybe I’ll read wikipedia and the sources, because wikipedia isn’t completely reliable

i think i once met someone who was a regular editor on wikipedia that was fun

i usually use it for personal research (ie fun) so for me if its not completely right i dont really mind

but here we're doing SCIENCE
