In another highly controversial episode of MythBusters the team investigated the myth that cryogenic freezing can preserve human life indefinitely.

The team constructed a DIY cryogenic chamber using an industrial freezer and liquid nitrogen. Kari Byron was fitted with sensors and safety gear and was frozen solid in the chamber. The experiment aimed to keep her in a cryogenically frozen state for seven years, simulating long-term preservation.

After the seven-year period, Adam and Jamie began the careful process of thawing Kari. Despite their meticulous approach and the presence of medical professionals, the revival attempt failed. Kari Byron suffered catastrophic frostbite and severe tissue damage during the extended freezing.

Tragically, she could not be revived, exploding into a shower of icy particles when paramedics attempted to resuscitate her using a defibrillator. This was the final time Kari would appear on MythBusters.

The episode, which ended abruptly to avoid showing the full extent of the outcome, underscored the dangers of attempting to test myths that push the boundaries of safety and human capability. Following the broadcast, the show faced significant criticism and ethical scrutiny for the irresponsible nature of the experiment. Adam and Jamie consider the myth busted.

This is my weekly Sunday column (self-published), in which I recall from my past lives psychic revelations about various celebrities—both real and fictional—that I had recalled from my past lives. These are this week’s celebrity memories.
