Inafaa sana kufahamu kwamba matokeo ya kwanza hayakuwa ya manufaa kwa ujumla. Utafiti (upelelezi) katika fani zingine uliendelezwa, kama kulipokuwa lengo la kuvumbua (unda) hali halisi ki sayansi na elimu ya viumbe kwa mfano kugandamiza kwa hali ya baridi mno,, katika hali hiyo kiumbe yoyote hata kiumbe wa kutatanisha (k.m. binadamu) huweza kuhifadhiwa katika hali ya kutokuwa na fahamu kwa muda mrefu (au kuzuia moyo kufanya kazi kwa nguvu - suspended animation) tayari kurudisha uwezo wake wakati ujao. Kwa hiyo ijapo hatuwezi kutoa kanuni maalum au dalili bayana juu ya urefu wa maisha usio wa kawaida juu ya Imam Aliyefichwa (Imam Mahdi); kutokana na Hiari ya Mungu, kuambatana na upanukaji wa uwezo wa binadamu na yawezekanayo na maendeleo ya binadamu, urefu wa Uhai wa Mahdi, unaweza kukubaliwa kikamilifu!
