I watched a programme about it this evening and just wondered how people feel about cryogenics.

Should we freeze people after death until we can reanimate them cured of their original illness?

Or do you feel it is unnatural and shouldnt be done?

Do you think we can reanimate their original 'soul' their essence of who they were?

Just wondered what everyone else thinks of it.

Thanks,
lozz

Thermal radiation, reflection from dust grains, emission lines from hydrogen gas, or synchrotron emission.

When you use an ice pack on a sore back or twisted ankle, at first it feels cold, then your skin feels like it is burning, then goes numb. Anyone know the medical reason for the burning sensation from a cold source?

Hi everyone, I need some help with designing a container for an egg - it is not for an egg drop, it is just pure aesthetic design, I was thinking of how once the egg is placed in the container it can activate a light or a tripod? Any ideas? THANKS

Hydrogen is one of the most common substances on earth. If turned into a power source the potential is limitless, however the energy industry would go bankrupt (most of the wealthy on this planet make thier money on energy) currently it is more expensive to produce and more energy is required to develop the energy recieved (The R & D question).

I once broke my leg and was given a CAT scan, even though a regular X-ray had revealed it to be a clean break. I was distraught on finding that the machine seemed to be on for five to ten minutes. Even one still picture seems to contain much more gamma radiation than would be taken in due to natural exposure by the body.

I later asked this question of an employee of a local synchrotron plant, which professes to specialize in concentrating beams of radiation so that they only hit a very tiny and minimal part of the body, thus doing less damage. The employee said he did not know because he was not a health care professional.

I would like to know the answer expressed in commonly used units of radiation.

Do you know of any map sites that let you click your own route to measure the distance, i.e. you don’t put in the beginning and ending address but actually click on the map?

I have no official maths qualifications, in fact i failed my O grade arithmetic. However, I am now going into 2nd yr Uni, having passed their introductory maths course which included differentiation, logarithms and such. I had a great lecturer, but now when i look over the notes i cant make out the train of thought he walked us thru, nor can i make out my own process of understanding - in other words its gone.
Maths is not intuitive to me - how do I begin to understand numbers and get a "feel" for it?
Any suggestions, except for a brain transplant, cos ive considered it already ! would be gratefully received.

I am aware that when we use a numerical measuring system we encounter "negative numbers" as in the temperature system and that in celcius, zero is designated the freezing point of water, and in the kelvin, absolute zero is total absence of thermal energy so even atoms do not vibrate.
In maths, even numbers like 10E-34 are above zero as you cant have a negative amount of something tangeable.
So what exactly is zero - how does it fit in maths? Is it a symbol or is it a something even tho its a nothing?

I am from Wisconsin and I do not forget those sub zero temps. But I have been in Florida now for about 5 years and am still trying to get used to five or six months in a row where the high is above 90 EVERY SINGLE DAY with no fronts to move in to cool things off. I actually now feel that it is easier to work outdoors in freezing cold weather than it is to roast in steaming hot temps. So if I had to choose the lesser of the two evils I would have to go with cold. How bout you?
