  • To make long distance space travel possible, we need to figure out how to hibernate. But we're primates, and primates just can't do that! Or can we...?

    Hummingbirds seem like a great Bizarre Beast -- nightly torpor led to them being seen as a symbol of immortality, as they seem dead until the sun warms them in the morning. Flying backwards, their diet, tiny size, they seem pretty Bizarre to me! And they'll make for awesome pins, too!

    I thought Hydrogen sulfide was our best chance for hibernation in space travel? Have we given up on that and research on the hydrogen sulfide genetic scar?
    Also for survival off stored fat, we are the only greater primate who has an abundance of white fat and very little brown so would be best suited for it if not for the brain problem. Even in an induced coma you would need alot of stored energy and you would also have to start Ketosis before hand to protect organ muscle, the ketones produced would actual raise brain metabolism as well so that doesn't help.
