Understanding: Cryogenics

On TLC's series "Understanding," people spend thousands on freezing themselves via cryogenics, with the hope that scientists will be able to thaw them and revive them in the future.

Why does youtube make me wtatch commercials now?

[SurreallTV]

i need to hear more about the topic....this was Too short..

(still...thanx for da vid)

Aren't you supposed to freeze you'r self when you're alive to slow down the functions of you'r cells. Re-animation without memory loss is impossible. You'r brain's function is kept intact by those little electronic signals running throughout the nerves in the brain. It's fine if they slow down, but if you'r nerves get damaged than the signal being sent through it is lost with it. They have done this with a rabbits brain too. There was still brain activity a while into testing. It's cool stuff!

@viktorj85 - Actually, YouTube doesn't make you, the video up-loader does. They earn cash from the commercials. The only ads YouTube makes you see are the ones on the home page and the ones on the upper right hand corner, which are well out of the way. You can make original content and earn money yourself by uploading videos and letting YouTube put commercials in the beginning. IDK where you got the silly idea that YouTube was forcing these commercials.

@viktorj85 everyone hates the commercials, but how do you expect google to get their 1.65billion dollars back. theyre not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts, and are still in the hole with youtube.

Honk if cryogenics gives you erect nipples

I've about memorized the nascar ad. It's so fuckin annoying.

why don't they put them in something that would keep them dry? It's just like if you lose a finger. First, if you can find the finger, your not supposed to merely pack it in ice, you wash it, dry it, pad it up with gauze, put that in a bag, and put THAT in another bag of ice. Why? It keeps it dry. Why can't they keep a body dry at a fraction of a kelvin?

Also Nanotechnology is not magic. It is has been explained in the materials science as magical in its properties but that just means that scientists are amazed at what can be done. Many things once though of as impossible are routinely possible through todays crude nanotechnology. The futures nanotechnology will be many many times more powerful but not magical. It will just seem that way to a novice or untrained observer. Natural Nanotech exists in all living cells and is what make life possible

The video is wrong from the start cryogenics is totally different then cryonics. If you do a internet search of molecular nanotechnology or go to Alcor or the Cryonics Institutes web sites and look up just how people will probly be revived in the future....If you found this tid bit interesting you will find that information truly amazing and incredible. Cryonics is an ambulence to the future using cold. Cryogenics is a manufacturing process using cold. Cryo means extreme cold.

look up cryonics for more information...
