If others felt the same way about cryonics, then maybe more would sign up. Isn't there a flaw in the FTL conversation in that the wave has to get there first? Assuming that this is a flaw in my understanding, how does one build this equipment? is there a url? Radio when it was discovered soon became ubiquitous because virtually anyone could make a radio receiver. There was a series of arguments years ago in The Immortalist which suggested that the first thing ET would do is to give us the secret of immortality - this would make it very difficult for governments to recruit or even enslave troops for domination of the universe. -- Sincerely, John de Rivaz my homepage links to Longevity Report, Fractal Report, my singles club for people in Cornwall, music, Inventors' report, an autobio and various other projects: http://geocities.yahoo.com/longevityrpt ----- Original Message ----- > Message #13988 > From: > Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2000 01:37:38 EDT > Subject: ligth "faster than ligth" and link with cryonics > > In msg#13976 George Smith quotes: > I don't run SETI at Home screen saver because if there was some > ET civilization, it could not ignore that possibility.
