Damn and it's Klaus. Can't believe I let that one slip through my fingers. Well played sir.
Nope. That heart rate you quoted is for an adult. Infant heart beats are typically in the 160-180 range. So slowing an infant's heart rate to that level would most likely ... be a really bad idea.Interesting article.
Ya, I know it's not a 1 for 1, but:
Heart info: Greenland's heartbeat is 8-10/min, human is ~55/min, or 6x.
Greenland's life = 272-512 yrs.
Human life = 75 yrs.
If at birth, a babies heartbeat was slowed to 9bpm, and isolated from sickness, could they live to be 450 years?
