Cryonics

[Wocker]

is it possible that a living person undergoes cryogenization and in the future be thawed and still alive?

this person would be traveling to the future?

 

[NaturalPhilosopher]

yup

 

[Wocker]

and how would that be scientifically possible?

instant freeze, instant thaw, thanks

Wonder if John Wayne will be brought back didnt he get frozen after death?

 

[NaturalPhilosopher]

the same method that cures cancer also reassambles cells on the subatomic level.
meaning, you can freeze someone and cause cellular damage then reverse it as you thaw.

Walt Disney was frozen when he died. Didn't know about John Wayne, there's no mention of it in his Wikipedia page.

That would work for travelling to the future, although, it's one-way time travel. You can't go back.

@Num7 - There are a lot of things Wikipedia chooses not to mention. It's not a reliable source.

And what do you mean by "You can't go back"? I think you certainly can go back in time, and maybe even change history. You're not counting out the multiple timelines theory either, are you?

I was just focused on the cryonics aspect. You can't freeze and unfreeze backward.

When it comes to everything else other than cryonics, then yes, there are possibilities for going back.

Oh, I see now.
