RE: Hydra: The Amazing Immortal Animal!
They're cool. Though.. moderately creepy as well. Lol.
Are you familiar with the turritopsis dohrnii?It is a type of jellyfish that is, according to scientists, immortal. When they begin to get old, they simply revert back to a state of adolescence and then start their life-cycle again. The cycle apparently repeats indefinitely.
I would love to know whether they are able to retain their memories during this process, because what is immortality if you're unable to remember the life you have lived?
Yes I have read about it. Not sure about memory retention though!
I think to ascertain such a thing is beyond the capabilities of modern science. It would certainly be interesting to know though..
For sure but maybe one day we will have the technology!
