I definitely didn't forget the hamsters :) Maybe crtl+f didn't work correctly?

Here's Lovelock's original paper if you're curious: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1365902/pdf/jph...

Nitpicking, but 0° to 1°C isn’t cryogenic, merely deeply hypothermic.

Therapeutic near-body temp hypothermia is often used post-cardiac arrest, while recovery from hypothermic states as a result of misadventure has often been documented.

Awesome article and glad you pointed towards the YouTube video, where Lovelock was interviewed, which ultimately answered my question: can Cryogenics be used to freeze humans? According to that fascinating and interesting video, answer (for now) is no because "it's partly a matter of how quickly you can get anti-freeze agent to diffuse into the cells ... humans too big."

Oh yes! I missed it, sorry.

Ok, my google search is becoming increasingly weird now[1], but apparently that did happen[2]. Now I am compelled to share it with people at work.

> A history of microwave ovens without mention of reanimating cryogenically frozen hamsters?

There is:

> 1954: James Lovelock et al. reanimated cryogenically-frozen hamsters using an ad-hoc microwave oven.

Mentions the Tom Scott video where he interview Lovelock (who passed a year later, in 2022):
