thats why being bored has its benefits...it makes me think hard and deep...Originally posted by fishyang:I think taht experiment was damn cool!How did you suddenly think of doing tt
thats why i mentioned they got spiracles (breathing holes) along the abdomen so they wont drown before they get frozen...Originally posted by ruixiangz:but wun the insects be drowned in the cylinder of water before they can be frozen?
and think too much...Originally posted by SixSentinels:thats why being bored has its benefits...it makes me think hard and deep...
hmm...should i experiment with you and throw you into the oceans of the antartic, and let you freeze inside?Originally posted by SixSentinels:If humans had exoskeletons, we could survive centuries, frozen in time, in ice. Then we would be thawed in the future and it'll be as if we were awaken from a deep sleep, only to continue life after it has been stopped, or suspended, for hundreds of years. This branch of science, known as Cryonics, may be possible after all, but only if humans had thicker skin, and organs which spread out all over the body instead of in specific places in the body...

Then, I took the cylinder out and I saw that the insects were frozen solid in a block of ice. I let the ice melt for 5 minutes and retrieved the bodies. The insects were motionless. They didnt move for another 5 minutes. Then suddenly, their feelers and legs started waving about in the air, and within 10 minutes, each insect was as alive and healthy as it were before I froze them. This is really incredible! I've always thought that suspended animation only occured in simple micro-organisms. I had NEVER thought this would happen to a complex life form such as an insectoid.
