Print Will Never Die!
Maybe all print needs to do is enter a little Ted Williams freeze, thereby building nostalgic reverie for ink smudges on fingertips, and then have scientists revive it in a few centuries how they’ve now done with a dormant 120,000 year old bug.
Scientists have brought a newly-discovered bug back to life after more than 120,000 years in hibernation. It raises hopes that dormant life might be revived on Mars.
The tiny purple microbe, dubbed called Herminiimonas glaciei, lay trapped beneath nearly two miles of ice in Greenland. It took 11 months to revive it by gently warming it in an incubator.
Finally the bug sprang back to life and began producing fresh colonies of purple brown bacteria.
Space scientists are excited by the find because it suggests alien creatures might be resurrected on other frozen worlds – especially the Red Planet.
Awesome.
