TINY WORM COMES BACK TO LIFE AFTER 24,000 YEARS

24,000 YEARS OLD TINY WORM IDENTIFIED

It's a microscopic organism has wriggled back to life and reproduced asexually after lying frozen in the vast permafrost lands of northeastern Siberia for 24,000 years.

Russian scientists found the tiny, ancient animal called the bdelloid rotifer in soil taken from the river Alazeya in Russia's region of Yakutia in the far north.

The bdelloid rotifer, a multicellular organism found in freshwater habitats across the world, is known to be able to withstand extreme cold.

Rotifers live in freshwater marine environments, and are mostly omnivorous. The organisms—which are entirely female—are also one of Mother Nature’s more resilient creatures.

What is multicellular organism ?
Multicellular organisms are organisms that consist of more than one cell, in contrast to unicellular organisms.
Example : Human beings , Plants , Animals , Birds & Insects. ]

Previous research suggested it could survive for a decade when frozen at -20 degrees Celsius.

This new case, which was detailed in a study in the journal Current Biology, is by far the creature's longest recorded survival period in a frozen state.

The organism was recovered from samples taken 3.5 metres below ground. The material was dated from between 23,960 and 24,485 years ago, the study said.

Reason to withstand thousands of years !

“Our report is the hardest proof as of today that multicellular animals could withstand tens of thousands of years in cryptobiosis, the state of almost completely arrested metabolism,” Malavin said in a press statement.

[ TO CLARIFY ...
What is Cryptobiosis ?
Cryptobiosis is a state of extreme inactivity in response to adverse environmental conditions. In the cryptobiotic state, all metabolic procedures stop, preventing reproduction, development, and repair. ]

Land encased in permafrost - where the ground is frozen all year round - has for years thrown up startling scientific discoveries.

Scientists earlier revived microscopic worms called nematodes from sediment in two places in northern Siberia that were dated over 30,000 years old.

SPACE PUPS BORN FROM MOUSE SPERM STORED ON ISS

MOUSE SPERM STORED ON AN INDIAN SPACE STATION IN A FREEZE DRIED FORM The Japanese researchers behind the new work, which they published on June 11 in a news paper, wanted to know how space radiation affects fertility in mammals. As we know the radiation can damage the DNA within cells , causing mutations (this is why dermatologists recommend using sunscreen) & also Environments on Earth with heavy radiation exposure can cause defects in the offspring of animals. Japanese researchers found mouse sperm exposed to high levels of cosmic radiation for nearly six years produced a large brood of healthy, unremarkable "space pups." The sperm was stored in the International Space Station in freeze-dried form. [ To clear , What is cosmic radiation ? Cosmic radiation is an ionizing radiation produced when primary photons and α particles from outside the solar system interact with components of the earth's atmosphere. NSRL is one of the few facilities in the world follows high

China's 'Artificial Sun' sets a World Record , Will it be a Technological Revolution ?

China's 'Artificial Sun' fusion reactor sets a world record..! China's Artificial Sun For 20 seconds , China's 'artificial sun' EAST achieved a peak temperature of 288 million degrees Fahrenheit , which is over ten times hotter than the sun. What is EAST and how does it work ? What is China’s ‘artificial sun’ EAST? Fusion Reactor China successfully powered up its “artificial sun” nuclear fusion reactor for the first time & the reactor is often called an "artificial sun". The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) reactor is an advanced nuclear fusion experimental research device located at the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (ASIPP) in Hefei, China. The purpose of the artificial sun is to replicate the process of nuclear fusion, which is the same reaction that powers the sun. The ultimate goal of EAST is to create nuclear fusion like the Sun, using deuterium abo

MEXICO SINKHOLE UPDATE : MYSTERIOUS 400-FEET SINKHOLE DEVELOPING IN MEXICO

SINK HOLES CONTINUES TO GROW IN MEXICO Mexico's Sinkhole A sinkhole measuring about 400 feet wide and 50 feet deep has opened in farmland in Mexico. The sinkhole has been expanding since it appeared first. . A huge sinkhole appears in central Mexico - due to a geological fault. The hole, which is filled with water, was about 30 meters wide on Sunday. “A sinkhole of at least 60 meters in diameter by 15 meters deep, within which there is water, was opened in the community of Zacatepec , municipality of Juan C. Bonilla.. It quickly grew to 60 meters on Monday and about 80 meters on Tuesday, officials said, coming dangerously close to a house A large sinkhole that appeared in late May in a farm in central Mexico has already grown larger than a football field authorities say it is likely to continue expanding. The sinkhole is now over 400 feet (125 meters) across and has begun swallowing a house. The Mexican government has sent in soldiers to keep people 2,000 feet (600 meters) away
