i guess they will be just fine. i mean, what cold does is that it slows down everything, all the metabolism, but it only causes damage when it gets too cold and some parts shut down completely. everything slows down, and some functions slow down more than others.
a hot spike is much more dangerous and damaging, because some molecules denaturate. this really screws with metabolism and development because specific enzymes that serve specific functions get hit.
in nature, the places where BPs put their eggs have surprisingly constant temperatures. its termite mounds and rhodent burrows, and the climate is very constantly warm and humid around the year, and underground its even more constant.
but i dont see how colder temperatures (nowhere near freezing cold, just colder) for just a limited amount of time could cause any real damage. also in nature, that could happen when a storm hits or something.
by the way, my last power outage was, i dont remember correctly, something like 8 years ago and lasted for 4 hours. in Germany, somehow only the really big high voltage long distance power lines are in the open, everything else is underground.
The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it. If you disagree, send me a PM.
The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.
my favorite music video is online again, its really nice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oABEGc8Dus0
