My friend is a technology junkie. He is extremely smart when it comes to computers and science. Here are his theories:

1) He believes that we will soon reach a point of singularity.

2) He believes that within 100 years humans will develop artificial intelligence and computers or robots will be able to outsmart humans.

3)He believes that science and medicine will get so good that the life of humans will be extended drastically by many many years.

4)He also thinks it might be possible to bring dead people back to life in the future. (i think it is called cryogenics?)

Firstly, A short explanation: The idea behind cryogenic freezing is that someone dies, their body is still in ALMOST working condition. Also, people can die temporarily, look at any hospital story where someone was dead for like a minute. So, the advocates of cryogenic freezing say if you could freeze people right after the die, before their bodies start to decay, then you could thaw them out and revive them in a century or so when medical technology is good enough to cure what killed them. There are already thousands of people in cryogenics facilities frozen.

So, the question: From a religious standpoint, if someone’s been dead for 100 years their soul is now in heaven, hell, purgatory, their next life for those who believe in reincarnation, whatever. But then what would happen when people thaw them out and pump them full of enough of future’s cure-alls to bring them back to life?

But then after you get revived, (in the future) wouldn’t you get lonely? I mean, ur family’s gone and so are ur friends.
Evrythings just so alien and weird.

Would you ever preserve ur body like this?
(It’s Cryogenics right?)

Just like to know ur thoughts.
thnx!
Yeah, i think it won’t work either.

But some rich people pay a lot of money to do this when they die.
Talk about wanting to live forever..

If you put a litre of vodka in a plastic bag and froze it cryogenically (liquid nitrogen), would it become a solid? If so, when it left the frozen state (via natural defrosting, not heating), would it vaporize or return to a liquid? And how long would that take?

Cryonics (often mistakenly called “cryogenics”) is the practice of cryopreserving humans or animals that can no longer be sustained by contemporary medicine until resuscitation may be possible in the future. (Wikipedia)
