Asteroid Psyche. Its value is equal to the modern world economy in 100,000 years. The "gold mine" is in space. Humanity is depleting the resources of the planet. But there are a lot of these resources in space. The asteroid Psyche is shown below. Its value has been estimated at ten quintillion dollars. 96 trillion dollars is the world's GDP in 2021. The value of this asteroid is 100 thousand times the size of the world economy in one year. Can you imagine if all mankind will live approximately at current level then in 100 thousand years will be able to earn on the cost of this asteroid. Its diameter is about 255 km. And the whole thing is full of useful resources! The asteroid consists of iron and nickel (in perfect condition - there is no free oxygen!). Gold and platinum were also found in it. Reasonable question - but can mankind extract resources from this asteroid? It's quite possible! Join

Why is human freezing and subsequent defrosting incompatible with life? When blood crystallizes, the resulting crystals pierce the capillary walls like a sieve. An unfrozen person simply won't come back to life because of widespread internal hemorrhaging and microfracturing of tissues. In the frog, at least in one species, some substance prevents the formation of crystals. Instead, it produces a kind of round bubbles. This is why it lives after defrosting. Join

Alchemy in the 21st century. Turning ordinary metals into gold is a task that alchemists have been struggling with to no avail. Nowadays it is quite possible with the help of a nuclear reactor or a particle acceleration device. However, the cost of such synthesis is many times higher than the market price of gold, which makes this procedure pointless. Join
