Thread: Scientists Invent Particles That Will Let You Live Without Breathing (temporarily)

I love science.

You and me both, dude.

Those lab geeks will burn in hell for trying to play God.

REPENT!

Burning in hell. is the inventor of tweezer. GOD WANTED THAT SPLINTER TO KILL HIM! HOW DARE YOU DEFY GOD.

Nah but this is Awwwwweeesome... W000000000T... This could be a step in the right direction for surviving on planets with unbreathable atmospheres. Though I'd rather stay on earth than have a permanent IV....

Bleeh

This is real cool, no more holding my breath under water.

Insane, hats off to them!

Well, this sounds awesome o.o

I'm going to use it while licking pussy!

Time to break the world record for holding your breath the longest!

Ya know... that's not a bad idea.

In your dreams you don't have to breath to start with...

Yeah but you always run the risk that the woman will give birth to Freddy Kruger half way through.

This part concerns me:

We drew each other's blood, mixed it in a test tube with the microparticles, and watched blue blood turn immediately red, right before our eyes.

I was taught, and everything I can find agrees with this, that blood is never blue, ever. Blood is a deep red when oxygenated and a much darker red when without oxygen. The red hue comes from the hemoglobin, not the oxygen itself. I've searched a dozen sights which all agree blood is never blue, only red.

Yeah, i didn't understand that part either... not sure how they managed to turn blood blue.. or why..

Is, perhaps, 'blue' blood a term referring to the colour of deoxygenated blood? In the same sort of way that 'blue' steak is not really blue at all...

Possibly, and I hope so, because this is quite the breakthrough and could save a lot of people. Though I've never heard the term "blue" steak, is that an english idiom?

I think the concept is traditionally French, but I could be mistaken. It means having it almost as rare as possible without having it completely raw; seared on the outside, basically. Tasty.

I always go along with common misconceptions when attempting to explain how my satanic magic works, along with everything else on this flat earth that was created 6,000 years ago in 7 days.

Very interesting, though I didn't see anything on how it could prevent CO2 buildup which is going to limit how much time it could buy you even if the other problems with using it for longer than 30 minutes weren't a factor.

Even in its current state it could save a lot of lives. If they can improve the length of time it could be used for as well as find some way to neutralise the CO2 in the absence of a working respiratory system then that could lead to great things indeed. It would certainly give those with compromised lung function a much higher quality of life.

I believe that in normal pressure conditions it takes around 15 mins to get c02 poisoning, under water it takes around 7 (At least thats what I remember)

Why can't you just exhale the buildup?
