FROZEN Time Travel!
from What The If? Hosted by Philip Shane
In this episode of "What The IF?", we, Matt, Gaby, and Philip, start by musing about a hypothetical meal with a young, pre-beard Abraham Lincoln. We then explore the implications of the recent scientific discovery of worms resuscitated after being frozen for 46,000 years in Siberian permafrost. We dissect this extraordinary survival mechanism and examine its potential application to humans. The conversation culminates in an unusual scenario: walking into a Ben and Jerry's and requesting to be frozen for a similar time span. This episode offers an in-depth exploration of the concept of time travel, drawing on a recent scientific discovery and our collective imaginations. --- Find out more about Gaby's upcoming science fiction short story publication, coming soon!
