Actual Scientific Ways Space Travel Could Work

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. 

Disclaimer: I am not an expert!

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.

How do we prevent aging though?

Well if the heart is not beating how can people age?

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

sooo...everyone becomes tardigrades

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 

ah, hmmmmm.

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

What about Rigor Mortis?

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

Rigor Mortis Tends to last only four days

you dare defy the tardigrades p e a s a n t

ok im kidding but uhhh...i dunno science...i like science, and i want to know more about it, but uuh yeah not yet im not quite there

It’s weird

Science is weird, nature is weird, the universe is weird, but one thing trumps all the universe in weirdness

p e o p l e

y e s

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

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

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?

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

yeah i get that xd

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

Science bros You’ll see why i put this vid here

its not a rickroll

SCOTT NOOOOOO

Kattozilla

You messed up his name, and now I can’t hear it the right way now

lol

All of my knowledge comes from movies tho. But I like everyone's ideas.

Interstellar is vera very very very very very accurate 

i dont know minecraft ytbers lol
