I thought you said speed has nothing to do with aging, only acceleration does. And are you saying that since light beams never accelerate that photons age the same as the rest of us?

And please don't suggest that the high gravitational red shift near a black hole will sufficiently slow down time that a good alternative to cryonic suspension is to throw someone into a black hole! 8-) - KQB ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=363
