Are hypersleep pods feasible sci? Is anyone realistically working on them? I mean the type you so you don't age in.

i'd imagine this would be some highly classified DARPA research (or funded in secret by a billionaire) that they want to use for themselves and their kin.
It's fundamentally a very 'destablizing' technology - the idea that some people are able to achieve immortality and the rest of us can't.

No matter how good these are, if you're in one a couple hundred years the decay of radioactive isotopes in your body will give you a lethal dose.

Probably wouldn't be feasible for years, but some animals undergo a form of "hypersleep" each winter, so you could realistically put people to sleep for the equivalent of several Earth months at a time followed by one month of recovery.

Probably not in the scifi sense no, but people already use cryopreservation (even though they can't be woken up yet lol)

There's historical mentions of humans reaching something like a mild hibernation when in polar regions. According to those writing, such people don't go into a complete sleep but during the coldest, darkest months, they move about very little, sleep most of the day, and eat very little.
But what's the point? You don't age while in hibernation? You also don't experience life either. Certainly for things like prolonged space flight or waiting out the aftermath of a cataclysmic event, there might be a use but for the average person, the uses seem limited.

Suspended animation is too complex to figure out at this time, assuming it's even truly possible at all. You can't just chemically stall an object, it also needs to be deep frozen down to a level where molecular and atomic interactions are significantly slowed. All of this needs to happen in a way that causes no changes to the body, causes no detrimental effects, and is perfectly reversible.
So what this entails are some kind of liquids that are perfectly compatible, that can replace all fluid compositions in the body, that do not freeze at deep cold temperatures, that despite not becoming physically immobile also halt cellular and chemical processes without damaging anything or causing long term side effects.
Anon also made a great point about radioisotope decay buildup.
Is it in some way theoretically feasible? Yes, probably.
It is also too complicated to achieve in this century.
Again, assuming it's physcially possible to begin with, there would have to be some kind of smart nanomachine thing going on with a pod that can perfectly monitor at the cellular level, to maintain the body in a near-zero activity state.
It would probably be easier to figure out android bodies or clone replacements and brain imprinting.
To that end, it would probably then be easier to just replace the human species with robotic intelligences. Which I hope we do. These meat monkeys I'm accursed with are stifling, weak, small of mind, too simple and shallow, too attached to their emotions.

There's no such thing as classified research at least not in the sense you're thinking, there's no hidden sci-fi technology.
The tech you see around you today is all there's. the F-35 came out 40 years after the F-16 and it's not some sic-fi alien technology that shoots lasers, it's just a marginally better fighter jet.
That's the level you should expect from "hidden tech". Stop eating up so much sci-fi bs.

You just need a spaceship and enough energy to accelerate to near lightspeed and relativity takes care of the rest. You could travel millions of years into the future while barely aging if you go fast enough. I expect some billionaires will eventually try this. The only drawbacks are the energy required and the possibility of collisions with dust at relativistic speeds but those are solvable with enough cash.

Woow, so a chance (that the tech materializes) at a chance (that your cells in the machine don't get exploded freezing/thawing) at a chance (that in the future, life extension tech will be invented) AT A CHANCE (that it actually will be applied to you after thawing).

They will never "wake up". Its nothing but a very expensive meat freezer. There will be no magic future tech that can reverse all the damage from freezing, storage and thawing and then revive after. It's like alchemists seeking for the philosophers stone or to transmute lead to gold: just not how it works.

The F-35 is basically like alien tech though, in terms of its capabilities vis a vis stealth. If an F-35 were somehow sent back in time to 1976 and engaged 4 F-16's it could shoot all 4 of them down without being detected at all. That's a pretty big deal in terms of technological differences.

theoretically if shit didn't get damaged during freezing they should be able to have their brains fully scanned and rebuilt (sometime in the future). but not sure if anyone will do that for them.
we're billions out of which tens of millions are millionaires. it's going to be a long ass line and more and more will pile on it.

This is pretty wild but "theoretically" doable if you can plug everything in. You could grow a clone from start, wait it out 15-20 years, make sure it doesn't form a brain, as in not more than vegetative state for body functions to work/develop, but no one home, no activity beyond the strictly bio functions.
Musk's Neuralink is dabbling with interfacing the brain to various shit, including severed nerves, bypassing the break.
What is hard is the cyber-brain. If we go only by number of neurons there's 100 billion of them, not considering their inter-conectivity (as data/values).
If I'd want to build a brain equivalent but large scale say 5 meters across in my backyard, and if I'd add 1000 neurons daily, which is what I'd maybe be able to tinker in a full day, it would take me some 270.000 years of daily adding 1000 neurons to said brain.
Their number is very high for dealing with them "individually" in human terms. Whatever "programmable" hardware is required to emulate brain activity, it's going to be insane tech.
Such a brain should be more easily connectable to some robot body with basic functions, walking around and seeing/hearing shit. Maybe such an option will be reserved for plebs when their original body dies and they wanna stick around for longer. Richfags gonna get that bio transplant treatment.

With the class system that will most likely turn into a dystopia, unless you are rich. You can build nice/interesting scenarios with the tech but that doesn't mean they can realistically happen.

animals can be put into cryo-stasis for tens of thousands of years, as shown recently by some arctic worm.
the whole tech would go into adapting the body, by CRISPR and pharmaceuticals, not developing some weird colorful freezing ray.
