If kept in pristine conditions (perfectly sealed to prevent evaporation leading to dehydration, deep freeze), is there a particular chemical needed for life that we might expect to break down first?
Since chemical reactions happen in the freezer just slower...
- New study [2]: 7 months (with 100% survival rate)
So further study seems to be needed.
