cryogenics

Why are you so adamant to dismiss cryogenics and call it a religion? Should we just throw in the towel and stop researching it?

> there is also cryogenics and other life extension techniques that could get us there. You are aware those don't actually exist?

Also, if you plan to wait it to live the Oort Cloud, you'd beter invest some time pushing up cryogenics or imortality.

> Some people think that cryogenics is a better chance of resurrection than burying a body in dirt. And some people think burying a body in dirt is the best chance of resurrection.

He has to, the chance that singularity or cryogenics will be available within his lifetime is pretty small.

This liquid helium is mined from the earth and then cooled to a liquid in the cryogenics plant. So overall, they are "manufacturing" cryogenically-cooled-helium by taking helium from the ground and cooling it.

Like I said, people have already asked this about cryogenics, but no cryogenically frozen person has ever been reanimated. This procedure, however, is viable.

Besides time dilation which could make it a subjectively short trip, there is also cryogenics and other life extension techniques that could get us there. If you accept any ship could get there, you might as well consider that space travel isn't the only technology that will advance.

> But both a Mars trip and cryogenics seem pretty reasonable to me. You think those are similar? We could do a Mars trip today with enough money. Every bit of money in the entire world would still not get you cryogenics - it requires a new idea that doesn't exist right now.

Org needs a cryogenics section, for potential resuscitation of mathematical campaigns using future technology. it'll be challenging to keep out the crackpots, though --

PayPal, at Luke Noseks urging, became the first company in the history of the world that had cryogenics as part of the employee benefits package. There was a Tupperware-style party where the cryogenics company representatives made the rounds trying to get people to sign up at $50k for neuro or $120k for full body.

It's an industry that's based on a bet that the damage caused by current day cryogenics will be repairable in the future, compounded with the bet that the problem which instantiated the use of cryogenics for the individual in the first place will have also been solved. I could also sell coal to people that would hope to use it in their 3D printers in the near future to construct their own diamonds, or flight goggles for our futures' flying cars.

A couple of years ago, after it was revealed that Sergey had some genetic disorder I wrote this sci-fi short story inspired by the fact that Larry/Sergey would be doing exactly this: ---- In the year 2010, scientists perfected suspended animation through the use of cryogenics for the purpose of surgery. After more than a decade of study and refinement, long term suspended animation became a reality, yet a privilege reserved for only the most wealthy and influential.

For most folks in this position, particularly with 4 young children, cryogenics is not exactly at the top of their priority list. Cryogenics might be an interesting "hail mary" for someone without a dependent family, but it seems crass suggesting it in this context.
