Worms frozen in permafrost for up to 42,000 years come back to life

For like a minute you just had the worlds most fucking mind blowing experience. I envy you that.
Damnit, every single time I see this thread title it STILL says "woman" for a fraction of a second before my brain rearranges the word to its correct form!
The fuck is this devil magic!!
The fuck is this devil magic!!
Wow yes me also. I was absolutely sure this thread was bullshit. Then I saw pictures of worms and my mind had done a trick on me.
Not concerned! We haven't all died of that anthrax that was released two years ago in Siberia when it thawed so by comparison this is way way less likely to kill us all. I'm sure there are things that can kill us waiting to thaw, but I mean there's not really anything we can do about it at this point. Relax.
It took halfway down the second page for someone to mention this. The forum is a bit disappointing.This is literally the plot to one of the best X-Files episodes.
I look forward to dying of an ancient bacterial strain that my immune system can't defend against.
Milankovitch cycles can account for the increased in temperature excluding the Anthropocene period. I.E. now.
Not to dispute the article but Hydra's are biologically immortal though we cannot calculate there age. Outside of the animal kingdom Endoliths are predicted living for 10 million years, from the 2013 Goldschmidt conference.
sorry mr Microsoft, i tried to be funny but failed. maybe next time i'll do better!
We already have many, many, many, many pieces of "undeniable" scientific evidence that the Earth is older than 7000 years, and none of it has convinced these people. A couple worms won't either.
God put those worms there to test our faith. Bad news for you, you didn't pass.
For some reason that didn't click for me until you said it.
Mind blowing.
Isn't there an immortal jellyfish or something?, but I suppose it's kind of cheating by starting over and over.
Fucking this. That'd be some Prehistoric Captain America shit.
UGH. Please don't.
I'm still worried about what sciences they used to gauge the age of these worms though. That's gonna be the angle the young Earth creationists attack from when they try to undermind the discovery.
Why would you be worried about what Young Earth creationists think?
Because people take them seriously based on their adherence to "the good book", and the biggest, most influential religion on the planet has sway over people in high places. Sway enough to harm people with their strict devotion to rejecting scientific discoveries that affect our lives. Anti-vaxxers, climate change deniers... folks like that.
