Episode synopsis
Some people dream of being cryogenically frozen. It's a way to defy death, to come back when things are better, or simply to know what the Earth will look like in a hundred years. But don't you have to be a little crazy to want to lock yourself in a freezer? Is it possible to stay frozen like that for decades and pick up your life right where you left off?
About 42: The Answer to Almost Everything
What would we be without mucus? Can we live on water? How much does life weigh? Finding out the answers is the aim of ARTE's new science show. In a nod to Douglas Adams's "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", where the figure 42 is the ultimate answer to all questions, 42 tries to provide the answers.
