If only there were an elixir one could take a swig of to forever remain alive. God alone knows where that fountain of youth is, if there is at all one. But closer home, Texas has a more legit way of helping us attain immortality. Christened Timeship Building, the complex has finally begun construction in Comfort, and will house over 50,000 dead bodies only to spring them back to life in the future. Not only bodies, the house will also store biological materials such as organs, cells and tissues. A one-of-its-kind project, the ultimate aim of Timeship will be to work on life extension research and cryopreservation.

Cryopreservation is a process which freezes bodies of humans and animals at very low temperatures, with the hope of bringing them back to life in the future. The idea is to simply subvert certain death by keeping bodies preserved until the day comes when technological advancements can make their revival possible.

With a futuristic vision, Timeship will be "taking people to the future", said Stephen Valentine - the architect behind the project - to New Scientist.

Timeship's mission is simple: "to conquer aging and eventually death".

For anyone wondering how Timeship plans to survive the many dangers of the world, the site has that covered:

"Timeship has been designed to provide that security at every level, from defense against terrorist attack, to sea level changes due to global warming, to interruption of energy supplies due to any catastrophe."
