This technology will make humans 'immortal', what is the concept of cryosleep

Image: Wikipedia



If you like science fiction movies then you must have heard about cryosleep. This concept is something in which a person goes into a deep sleep. A sleep so deep that waking up years later is like reliving it. This concept is seen in Hollywood films like Interstellar, Captain America and The Boys. In all these films the characters are buried in ice or put into a deep sleep with the help of some chemical.

Where did this journey begin?
 There are many people who want to live for years and the result of this desire is cryosleep. Scientists all over the world are working on this technology. The idea of ​​cryosleep originates from cryonics. The concept of cryonics begins with a book. Professor Robert Ettinger of Michigan has mentioned this in his book 'The Prospect of Immortality'. The word cryonics is derived from Greek which means 'cold'. In this process, the human body is subjected to -196 degrees Celsius. So that it can be woken up from sleep in the future. There are many people around the world whose bodies have been frozen and stored in a safe place. In this process, the human body is cooled to -200 degrees Celsius and placed in a container filled with liquid nitrogen. No one has been saved under this procedure, but this hypothesis will lead science down a new path.

What is the cryosleep process?
 Cryosleep is a process in which the motion of the human body is stopped with a drug, chamber or other means. These people are preserved in the hope that they will be revived when needed. There are many such scenes in movies, but in reality this is not the case. In 2016, something similar happened to a young man named Justin Smith in Pennsylvania. 26-year-old Justin left home at night and did not return. When his family searched for him, they found him buried in the snow for hours. He did not die despite being buried in the snow for almost 9 hours. His body was frozen. He was not even breathing. Doctors and family members had given up hope. The body temperature of this young man was so low that it was not possible to treat him. Doctors then took him to a hospital that has ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) facility. This machine helps to warm the blood in the body and pump it back into the body. Justin Smith regained consciousness about 30 days after treatment began.

Work Enterprise and NASA are working on this project
 Attempts to make this technology a reality have been going on for a long time. Work Enterprise and NASA are working together on this technology. Both these organizations are trying to develop a static chamber that can make cryosleep a reality. Both the organizations believe that if this concept is ready, it will become much easier to complete any space mission. Before sending a person into space, he has to be physically and mentally prepared. Hence, if this technology becomes possible then the impacts during space travel can be minimized.

Ray of hope for scientists! A rare meteorite found in Gujarat may reveal the secrets of other planets

Image
A meteorite fell in Banaskantha of Gujarat last year in the month of August. This type of astronomical phenomenon was observed after about 170 years. Before this, this kind of astronomical phenomenon was seen in 1852. Scientists stationed in the Space Department of Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad have written extensively about this meteorite. The recent meteorites found in Gujarat can prove to be a very important source for understanding planetary processes. Scientists say that this meteorite is Obrite. They have confirmed that this meteorite may have formed from the rarest heterogeneous material found in our solar system. These meteorites were named Deodar meteorites. It fell on August 17, 2022 in Deodar taluk of Gujarat and is hence named as such. According to reports, the villagers saw no sign of him in the sky, only the sound of thunder. A major part of the meteorite fell in Deodar, while another part fell in the nearby village of Rawal. Here the villagers collected lar...

Ordeal before sending Gaganyaan! ISRO will do a big job on October 21, know the mission objective

Image
Gaganyaan Space: The TV-D1 test flight for Gaganyaan will be launched on October 21 at 7 am from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota. However, after this test, three more test vehicle missions will be conducted. The test involves launching the crew module into outer space and recovering it from the Bay of Bengal after touchdown. This includes testing the Crew Escape System (CIS), which will be used to bring the crew back to Earth if the spacecraft encounters a problem. How important is the mission? This mission of ISRO is very different and special from all the missions till now. So far all the space missions carried out by India have been unmanned. But in this mission, man will be sent from earth to space through space shuttle. After spending seven days there, he will return to earth. This process is very dangerous that is why there are very few countries in the world that have successfully carried out this type of space mission. (Photo-Twitter/ ISRO) The first test w...

Indian computers will now be ruled by indigenous operating systems, the magic of 'MAYA' will cover the Navy, Army and other forces.

Image
The Ministry of Defense has developed MAYA os with the help of various government agencies including Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), Center for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) and National Informatics Center (NIC). It is free and more secure. The Indian government is considering replacing the Windows operating system on computers used in the Ministry of Defense with a new indigenous operating system called Maya OS. What is Maya? MAYA os is a new operating system based on Ubuntu. Ubuntu is a popular Linux distribution that uses free and open source software. Keeping up with new operating system (OS) is also a challenge for the government but the ministry claimed that MAYA OS was introduced to thwart cyber threats and reduce dependence on OS made by global tech companies like Microsoft. MAYA OS is free, so the government will no longer need to own a genuine Windows license or pay for expensive Microsoft Word and other services. Safe from cyber threats ...

84 Earth years are equal to 1 year on this planet, captured by James Webb using infrared wavelengths.

Image
Washington, April 27, 2023, Thursday Some give great importance to the number 84 in the philosophy of life according to the scriptures. There are millions of galaxies and billions of stars in the universe. One of the planets around the solar system is Uranus, the American space agency NASA has shared a picture of Uranus. This image was taken from the James Webb Space Telescope. Uranus is the 7th planet of the solar system orbiting the Sun. When the Voyager 2 spacecraft passed through Uranus Pass in 1986, the camera imaged Uranus as a blue-green round light, but no surrounding ring of light. According to NASA, the image taken by James Webb of Uranus using infrared wavelengths shows that the planet has bright rings around it. A special feature of Uranus compared to other planets in the solar system is that it orbits at a 90 degree tilt on its axis. Hence any season on Uranus is extreme. Here in the polar region the sun is bright for years and then it is dark for as many years. This is...
