Will cryogenics really bring back the dead?

Answer 1

What you're talking about is called "cryonics."

The Earth is at least 1 billion years old. Homo sapiens (or Homo sapiens sapiens) has only been around for around 100,000 years (at least been in evolutionary development for 1 million years). Civilization has been around between 50,000 and 30,000 years. Industrial advancement and progress in high-tech has been happening for between 400 and 500 years (relatively speaking). Two further examples: we've had automobiles for roughly 150 years (or less), and we've had computers (not like the abacus but computers as we know it) for about 70 years.

Notice a pattern?

The more advanced "stuff" progressively happens in a shorter amount of time and in greater frequency as time goes on.

It's like dropping a stationary object from space onto Earth; at first, it moves really, really slow as gravity's force is weaker further away from the center of Earth...but, as the object gets closer and closer to Earth, the object moves faster and faster and faster towards Earth's surface (let's leave the notion of "terminal velocity" out of this analogy for now, all you physicists out there...lol).

There are advancements in science every year. The more our population grows, the more people end-up in scientific fields. The greater number of scientists in the world plus greater utilization of computers to hold existing knowledge and to help attain new knowledge, the more energy can be expended in new research and development.

At your local library or college/university, just pick up a copy of Discover magazine...or New Scientist...or Scientific American...or lesser-known scientific publications. You'd be surprised what new "things" have been discovered or implemented every year...or even every month!...and these things are often also published in peer-reviewed scientific journals that other scientists critique and test in repeated experiments, so it's not like you're reading about lies in a mainstream magazine.

With all that said, I believe it's only a matter of time before humans find a way to "revive" cryopreserved human beings. With method of cryopreservation being "primitive" at first and becoming progressively more complex and improved over time, the first ones (and maybe the easiest ones) to bring back would be the ones most recently cryopreserved by the time they figure out how to revive...and then working backwards so that the very first human to be cryopreserved would be the last one to be brought back (last in, first out)...maybe centuries from now...who knows.

Our sun isn't supposed to nova for approximately another 3 billion years...and how long have humans been around?...and how much have we accomplished in that amount of time compared with other species? Never say never.

Answer 2

I think it may be possible. We can bring people back to life with CPR and Defibrillators. There are species of insects and frogs that nearly freeze solid during the winter and come back to life in the spring. I think that "life force" is strong enough that it will find a way, someday, to act on thawed-out cryogenically frozen people. The same force that makes a cell divide, is the same force that makes an organism function. So if the heart is beating and the organs are intact, what is to stop it from functioning? Some may say a lack of a soul....I wonder

Answer 3

Surely cryogenics freezes things... and it would be the "mad scientist" that actually brings people back from the dead?

Answer 4

cryogenics just buys time. It will not, in itself, bring back the dead.

Answer 5

No, it will not. But the process believes that advanced science or technology will be available or discovered at a future time sufficient in scope to revive that person from their frozen state.

Answer 6

Nope. it will help in preserving the dead from decomposition....

Answer 7

Hopefully not

Answer 8

they have`nt succeeded yet, "and" I doubt they will.

Answer 9

Gross dude.

Answer 10

not if they're already decomposed....
