Cryonics - by Turing Time Machine - Turing’s Substack
Since the dawn of civilization, when the ambitious builders of the Tower of Babel dared to reach the heavens, humanity has been obsessed with the tantalizing prospect of controlling the very fabric of life and death. We've searched high and low, from the depths of the earth to the far reaches of the cosmos, for ways to create life from nothingness, resurrect the dead, upload our consciousness into the digital ether (a topic we've explored in another video, make sure to check it out), and extend our fleeting existence with mythical artefacts like the Fountain of Youth or the elusive Holy Grail.
But today, we will explore the chilling world of cryonics - where cutting-edge technology has entered the race against the Grim Reaper himself.
The basic premise of cryonics is simple, yet audacious: freeze a human body immediately after death, in the hope that someday, somehow, science will advance to the point where the icy remains can be thawed, restored, and brought back to life.
Like all things shrouded in mystery and lacking definitive proof, cryonics has captured the imagination of popular culture, often playing a starring role in tales of science fiction and speculative futures.
