X-Message-Number: 33327 From: "John de Rivaz" <> Subject: re: domiated by trivia Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2011 08:45:57 -0000 as to >>> why trivia tend to dominate CryoNet, day after day, month after month, and year after year. <<< The actual science behind it is complicated and difficult to understand without a lot of background knowledge and "reading around the subject". People want to have a sense of involvement, and so discuss issues on the periphery, ie management and administrative matters. Many people interested in cryonics are also involved with the mathematics based sciences, which give clearly defined results, whereas biology and related subjects is a descriptive science based on lots of knowledge where results are often based on statistical arithmetic. Indeed some doctors regard medicine as more of an art than science. -- Sincerely, John de Rivaz: http://John.deRivaz.com for websites including Cryonics Europe, Longevity Report, The Venturists, Porthtowan, Alec Harley Reeves - inventor, Arthur Bowker - potter, de Rivaz genealogy, Nomad .. and more Content-Type: text/html; [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=33327
