Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I honestly thought it was just a rumour until I saw your video now it’s confirmed. Here’s my question: What’s the size and lifespan of a tardigrade? If it can survive all types of climates why haven’t we studied and adapted those abilities for humans? Just imagine the possibilities

Size less than a millimeter, lifespan 2.5 years with hibernation up to 30. Humans are very different morphologically than tardigrades :)

Wait.. how does it survive 30 years just by hibernating? Does its body stop aging completely?
