Why don’t we have cryosleep yet? You know, freezing people and waking them up later. Turns out, the problem is WATER.
Our bodies are filled with water. But when water freezes, it expands and forms sharp crystals. If we froze you right now, those ice crystals would shred ya to bits from the inside! To freeze you without shredding you, we’d need to replace most of that water with special antifreeze – and cool it all down quickly and evenly, turning that antifreeze mixture solid in a process called “vitrification,” end effectively pausing your body in time.
But unfortunately, you’re the wrong shape. Right now you’d either end up full of warm toxic antifreeze, or full of frozen deadly crystals. The math just doesn’t work yet. But the math DOES work for tiny cells like human eggs and embryos.

Are you just dreaming the whole time you’re in there? Or can you just..think?
So that means,ill get snowgraved?
They already are doing full people for decades
We do put the too sleep with cold plasma in the room
But there are people cryo frozen so what of them i know they were frozen dead but like whats the point
I don't want to wake up and find Nick Fury in New York city and loses people that I love
I would not mind sleeping thru the winter some years or sleeping weeks to save money between jobs – wait I could be homeless and move from a cold shelter area to warmer for free then from hot to cooler shelter – problem solved
just turn me into a na’vi gang
But what happens to the soul when you freeze the physical body?
I guess what these people are saying is that they are betting on the development of future tech, so undergoing cryonics would be a bet on future tech reviving the person, not current technology developed in our lifetimes.
There's a piece by Tim Urban called "Why Cryonics Makes Sense" which discusses the topic further.
Cryonics proponents say that a 0.000001% of revival is better than 0%.
But I am still highly skeptical, even in the infinitesimal chance this will work, I can think of better ways of spending my money (even if it's payable with 30 bucks a month life insurance)
Cheers.
To shreds you say?
Imagine getting sick in cryosleep and not knowing it I don't know how well your health would be monitored so say your immune system suppressed or whatever and virus and deadly diseases are a higher risk and you're sleeping Lol. I don't know if this would be true
The one problem is also the long term affects. Almost done if some right. Can't be Russian on this; this matters too much. Sorry not sorry some of you just ain't Grown up enough even after 55 plus come on someone is watching to be you & do your actions.
You are just so gorgeous
Do you think the heat of the sun can melt the ice between us?
Well I failed in many ways before, but never have I thought that my surface area is too small for my volume. Can't even physics right
I don`t what to see a alians
What about electrical activity?
Thing is… we could totally do something that's 'as good' as cryo. That is a combination of artificial hibernation and rejuvenation. The intact genes could be slotted into the genome of humans, and a chemical trigger could be used to initiate it. Though it would have to be one humans don't produce naturally but can easily handle. As for the rejuvenation part… well once we can readily make and control pluri-potent or omni-potent stem cells, that's basically all we'd need.
Try freeze drying them 😊
This is called cryogenic and it is already been done.
Wouldn't medically stoping the aging process work better..just saying 😂
Forget cryo sleep I want to download my conscious into a robot body.
You are totally dreaming.. ISLAM FOR ALL
