V cool and informative ,Vsauce. Thank u :)

Could humans potentially hibernate? Could we have the ability to store up food and stay in an inactive state for several months?

Actually, I think you have that backwards. Black is the presence of all colors, and white is the absence of color.

It is impossible to have black unless you have no light.(Also Black and White are not a color they are a neutral just like: Gray and Brown)
