This discussion centers on the concept of time travel through cryonics, specifically the idea of being frozen after death and revived in the future. Participants argue that if a person is frozen at age 45 and revived 500 years later, they would experience a form of time travel, as their consciousness would not perceive the time elapsed. The conversation also touches on the limitations of this concept, emphasizing that while one may perceive a jump in time, biological aging continues. The discussion references the urban legend of Walt Disney's cryogenic preservation, questioning its validity and implications.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for futurists, bioethicists, and individuals interested in the intersection of technology and human consciousness, particularly those exploring the implications of cryonics and time travel theories.

bozo the clown said:If I say die at 45 have have myself frozen and in 500 years time they unthaw me medicine is advanced they can bring me back to life with my memory just as how I knew it before I passed away than from my point of view id have trvelled in time to 500 years into future right ? no diff from a time machine as all I know is being in 21st century then 26th century with no conception of time passing.
