Most life on Earth is dormant, after pulling an 'emergency brake'

&gt; Karla Helena-Bueno discovered a common hibernation factor when she accidentally left an Arctic bacterium on ice for too long.<p>I love how this story follows the magic pattern of so much of innovation and discovery - an accident. It&#x27;s refreshingly human and not a mode of discovery that machine learning is going to completely take away from us.

This reminds me of the fact that humans used to be able to hibernate (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;pmc&#x2F;articles&#x2F;PMC1117993&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;pmc&#x2F;articles&#x2F;PMC1117993&#x2F;</a>) and (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.popularmechanics.com&#x2F;science&#x2F;a35033907&#x2F;early-humans-hibernation&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.popularmechanics.com&#x2F;science&#x2F;a35033907&#x2F;early-hum...</a>)

&gt; Instead of complaining about what we’re missing when we’re asleep, maybe we can experience it as a process that connects us to all life on Earth, including microbes sleeping deep in the Arctic permafrost.<p>I&#x27;m quite happy to know that &quot;microbes sleeping deep in the Arctic permafrost&quot; are asleep. I&#x27;d rather not have to think what might happen when they wake up.

Wow. This is nature&#x27;s mechanism for lazy evaluation.

Nobody seems to be mentioning the therapeutic possibilities. I&#x27;d love to be able to make a bacterial infection dormant. Or a tumor.

I&#x27;m having visions of old people freezing their bodies and inducing &quot;dormancy&quot; so they can wake up when the world is a better place. I would invest in that company.

Makes me wonder if organisms on Mars (if they ever existed) used such a mechanism

Sshhh. Noone tell the proles that it&#x27;s perfectly natural to have a bit of slack where many individuals in complex systems are doing nothing and, far from being a leech on society, it is actually essential to keeping the overall system alive.

To me, seems like this is what we describe today as a “comatose” state. Is the individual “brain dead” or did the person sustain so much damage that it required an “emergency brake”.<p>The body and mind is healing itself but today’s scientists and doctors cannot fully quantify it. Only using “primitive” tools (EEGs, CT, MRI) which only allow us to see through a tiny keyhole of what is a vast number of possibilities.

When you get caught up on the hustle of modern society and lose yourself in modern technology, it&#x27;s so easy to forget that you are a part of a larger whole and there is more life on Earth besides human.<p>For some reason knowing that other animals exist just for the sake of existing and even sleep off when life gets harder gives a new perspective. I feel that we humans use too much knowledge and complicate problems even when there&#x27;s a simple solution. I think that our bodies are highly intelligent and humans intrude a lot in it&#x27;s natural functioning by inventing too much techniques and methods. Like I want to stay awake, drink coffee. Drink coffee, get insomnia. Insomnia leads to unhappiness. Take insomnia meds, get withdrawals. Generating more problems along the way while forgetting what the solutions were even for in the first place. If we just listened to our bodies signs, it pretty much tells us why you you are lethargic and need coffee in the first place.<p>Sometimes we should just trust nature to do it&#x27;s work. This article was a refreshing read.

Cant wait to see what types of bacteria and viruses are dormant in permafrost that is thawing &#x2F;s

&quot;Biologists discovered a widespread protein that abruptly shuts down a cell’s activity — and turns it back on just as fast.&quot;<p>Maybe we need this for dogs, so their lifespan isn&#x27;t substantially squandered when their owners are at work.
