If you are interesterd in cryonics, you have switched from heaven to hell. Now, Hell's best color is green, so I suggest to bath cryonics patients in powerful green light before cooling them, so that they will be best fitted to hell environment. Now I'll try to convince some reader I am serious: The inside part of a cell is not a simple bag with floating molecules inside, it is a very organized medium. In bacteria, mitochondria and plant's chloroplasts, most reactions take place on membrane surfaces. In more evolved eucaryotic cells, the volume is too large to get a sufficient reaction level in two dimensional membranes, so that most effects unfold in one dimension on a scafolding made from some specialized molecules. One of these reactive systems is made from tubulin, the building block of both, microtubules and the centrosome. Here I am mostly interested in the second element: It is a double ring made from tubulin, in a cell region endowed with a high concentration of the free molecule. ( In fact, there are two kind of tubulin, but that is of no interest here). It seems the tubulin rings are a kind of primitive eye. Why a cell must have a vision organ? I know of no answer in the scientific litterature, so I risk my own explanation: All aerobic reactions produce a very noxious by product : the free radiacal H2O2. In fact, the real free radiacal is the so called Singulet Oxygen, an excited form of the oxygen atom released by H2O2 reactions. The singulet oxygen falls back to its ground level by radiating a green photon. Is the cell's "eye" a monitor of the H2O2 activity? This molecule is mostly neutralized by the Super Oxyde Dismutase enzyme, S.O.D. for short. So my theory runs as follow: Cells monitor the H2O2 level by detecting the green light radiated from the singulet oxygen state. That information must be exploited in a way to discover so that it can regulate the S.O.D. production. At least this could be one of the pathway regulation of S.O.D. If that is true, a powerful source of green light able to get its way inside cells would stimulate the anti oxydant S.O.D. production. In a body, most cell live many hours after official death ( that is why organ transplant is possible at last ). So, why not use that spare time to induce a large S.O.D. production and lessen the effects of free radicals generated when cells die. It seems relatively simple to verify that idea: An eucaryotic cell culture under green light must contains more S.O.D. and so be able to neutralize more H2O2. This small experiment could open the way to an important application. The use of green projectors before cooling in a first stage cryonics process would not cost very much, it is practical technology with very cost effective results. ---------------- Now, the message you don't undergo : The gravitational radiation emission in a pot cracking process. (As good as neutrinos in cooling down some objects). --------------- A word about T. Donaldson message # 3616 : Indeed, I have not signed up with any cryonics organization. My project is to do so someday, most probably with CI. There was a problem : how to get CI from Europe? This seeems to be largely solved now. It remains the question of the french law: You can't be officially death in France and at the same time be anything else than a rotting flesh stack, at least at brain level. The solution seems to try to escape the medical system when terminally ill and go to England before official death. That needs a full local organization, outside CI or its representative in U.K. I must meet some people on the subject next week, but such things are long to put in place :-(. YB.
