Future Timeline

Well, I live too far away from any current cryonics and brain preservation facilities, so collaboration with them would be difficult. I devised the chronoscaphe as an option to be used exactly in such situation. Not that I predict many people going this route in the near future, the interest in 'con...

Sure, reverse engineering of the biological basis of species based on the accumulated knowledge of their external appearance, behavior, nutrition, etc., will be one way to pull it off in the future. Given the complete understanding of developmental biology and genetics, in principle a corresponding ...

Enhancements will slowly evolve out of prosthetics for the disabled, including mental augmentation via technologies like Neuralink. While the 'fit' and the 'normal' will harbor distaste and aversion towards the idea of enhancement, It is the suffering and the damaged, such as the war veterans that w...

After Jurassic Park came out, scientists were quick to dismiss the idea of cloning extinct animals as nonsense, repeating the same thing over and over again. Thus, no dinosaurs will ever walk the Earth again, since there is no DNA left behind. Their myopic prediction is based on the results from PCR...

It is a dream of mine to build an autonomous biostatic capsule that may give an individual a shot at the future. Currently it is at the theoretical and preliminary level of planning. Real work will follow when the construction begins, which may take a few years, depending on personal factors. I will...

Thanks! I am glad I could stir up some thoughts. There are some general arguments to provide introduction to the project, as I am in the process of writing a book-length treatment of those issues. In some ways, the time-boat is meant to be a speculative answer to the most 'conservative' possible vie...

Yes, it is true that it is not enough. Right now, and for me personally, it is an amusing concept to explore and develop. Biostasis has attracted few supporters so far, but this may change in the next few decades if some interesting theoretical proposals are turned into practice. I don't see that ha...

The capsule is designed to be incompressible - it can't be crushed. It is protected from mechanic impacts by a thick, composite shell and filled in totality with an inert fluid to counteract hydrostatic pressure (see schematic drawings). At the bottom of the ocean, there is very little visibility, i...

Hi everyone, Biostasis (cryonics, brain-preservation, etc.) has been a subject of rising interest among futurists and transhumanists. However, as currently practiced, it is expensive and often locally unavailable. There are two cryonic organizations in the US, one in Russia, and that is all as far a...
