In order to really make this work you need Maxwell's demon. OK, of course this will really be some form of nanotech that is able to apply information to repair on a molecular level damage done by freezing. It is not impossible, but the prospects are daunting. The difficulties with this I see as far beyond the problem of transplanting a brain into a body, where for N = 10^10 neural connections there are some N! possible combinations. It is not impossible in principle, but things like this are not likely to come very soon. I can't predict the future with much certainty. David Byrne made an interesting point on this. However, it seems most probable that the more "pie in the sky"some prediction on the future is the less likely, LC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzBS7bGJaDA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
