I can't wait to be a like those silly freeze-dried strawberry slices in Special K.? The ones that get slimy in milk? I'm sure that my experience in the future would be just as goofy as Woody Allen's was in "Sleeper?" I'd wake up, full of no...nsense, and secret plans for everyone in the future, only to find that all of my best ideas had already occurred long ago. I'd end up like Woody's character, a former health food store owner, on the run with a group of future back to the past, Counter Revolutionaries, like Patty Hearst and the Symbionese Liberation Army, on a dangerous mission to steal the "nose of the leader," before some future repressive regime could re-clone him? No, I think not! I think part of living well, is facing death bravely, and realizing that our mortality is actually the greatest gift there is as an incentive to live every day to the fullest, and tried to make our best effort to make a positive contribution in the fields that reflect our love of this life and remind us of our most righteous, precious prejudices? Tnd to never tarry, and do it now, while we can, on the only inhabited planet we know of, even if we have the technology to go, as the remaining humans did in Blade Runner "Off Earth?"? So, also as Woody Allen says,"It's not death that bothers me, it's the idea that I have to be there when it happens?"See More

Richard: Ice crystals are formed by a jolt or strong vibration and spread quickly from one to the other. Sugar is not the reason frogs can be unfrozen and get back to hopping. If you freeze a frog and then drop it, those cells which are not... elastic enough to withstand expansion freeze and the cells are pulled apart. The frog is also a hibernating creature, a separate area now of research, but relevant to it's survival of freezing. It also has copper based blood, not iron based blood. If a human were frozen slowly, they would have to be maintained without even the slightest jolt to prevent ice crystal formation.

Infinite Play sounds like a standard military psychiatrist's use of E.D.O.M. Electronic Dissolution of Memory, to cover crimes and corruption and of course NWO plans for us all, which no doubt would be much more limited on our life spans. They like to play games with people. We are their distant entertainment with immunity.

Marie: Individual cells are often preserved in a suspension which prevents jolting and ice formation. This is also how they are researching trying to freeze a human being, with suspension for the same reasons. Freeze drying on the other hand removes moisture and water from the tissue and so there is next to nothing which will expand if ice forms.

Buddha Zen: Here's wishing for more time to enter and entertain timelessness awake and asleep is a matter of fixing the communications networks which are Human interfaced with chips and antennas, and stopping all this diversionary tactic of it being something else, like _________.

Douglas, If you look at Bladerunner again, you will notice that at the end, he recognizes that he too was implanted with false memories of his own life and that he was a free to live long with his love, who was implanted with false memories of her life. Remember the Unicorn dreams and the origami, left by the operative? The "off worlder's" were the same, but a slave class with a timeframe imposed. They were all genetically engineered and all recognition came through dreams. Bladerunner was a projection into the future of existing programs started during WWII by the Nazi's from Operation Paperclip with the CIA and others. Did you notice humor was missing? I guess you are in the right time frame for now.

Karen: Are you talking about Interplanetary travel? In space there is little volume and nothing to push against for thrust. Acceleration would produce a vacuum weightlessness and the passengers would float. The problem is how to move, which is a function of vehicle design of propulsion systems.

That rocket looks like it would spin because there is not much of a wing for lift or stability. After the exhaustion of fuel it would lose altitude and have no stearing power, is what I would guess. That duck nose would flip it backward without a down point to it. Too bad my old buddy Hank is not around to critique that. He helped design the Space Shuttle. I was fortunate enough to work on airship designs with him.

This is a great string.See More

Robin, I don't know where you get your information from but it doesn't match the reality I am in and I don't see the logic, reason or basis for much of it. In my reality frog hemoglobin uses iron, it is clear we are in two different but par...allel realities since in your reality frogs have copper based blood. It must be a glitch in the Matrix that we are able to communicate but it won't be much benefit for me to discuss things that do not exist in the one I experience.See More

I am not speaking of globulin in my remarks, which are proteins, but the inorganic blood element of copper instead of iron as a constutuent of blood. Cyanin refers to poisonous proteins and is rare. I once almost experienced a life threaten...ing problem diving, wanting to touch a lovely shell creature on the ocean reef. I would not be here if I had. On the other hand, I have eaten plenty of oysters.

I downloaded years ago the research from the cryogenics scientist who discussed the problem with ice crystal formation and survivability. I will look for it and see if I can provide a link to the very interesting paper he did.

Thanks for the link to the video. It is important for a frog. The cells do not form ice crystals in it's vital organs due to a triggered event of dehydration upon contact with ice. The ice forms only around the organs with available moisture, while it's body tissues are elastic in expansion. Frogs, like Monkfish can breath, respire and expel moisture throught their skin. We can do that to a much lesser extent through our pores. Neet!

It is too bad people do not have this ability.

rebecca respetively Buddah and the monks lived/s far from the pace of the world...it is a fast world...to give the illusion of moving fast does not neccessarily mean one is moving fast and visa versa..this is me in case...at this time in hi...story our interactions with people are moving at extrodinary speeds..our relationships and experiences are twice the pace they were twenty years ago..

Walt Disney is frozen i believe and has been for some time..i don't think every mere mortal or frog should be..only great souls that by extending their lives have some solutions to share...Rebecca Buddah may be good to have on earth at this time or Christ on the other hand their presence may cause more problems...we will never all agree on anything...and when we do...it has never been a good thing anyhow....See More

Hi Rebbecca, funny you should bring that up, no I hadn't but I just went and read the plot on IMDB and it sounds like a mashup of some of my short stories from long ago published in the entertainment forum. Of course upon reading that it is... all a bit surreal to me and quite fitting I must totally be in lucid dream. The main character is played by Tom Cruz who I worked with in what seems to be real life for 3 days in like 87. Five years later I started making and selling the Lucid Dreamer Tapes and CDs with binaural beat entrainment technology. It gets much much better than that but this isn’t the place to tell the story. I think if we take risks and don't act on fear thoughts life is like a movie and if we don't it is rather mundane playing the part of the general audience but somebody has to play the audience right? http://lifeislikeamovie.com/See More

Robin I didn't mention Cyanin. I said Hemocyanin which are respiratory proteins in the form of metalloproteins containing two copper atoms that reversibly bind a single oxygen molecule. Colorless blood that turns blue when oxygenated. Hemoc...yanins carry oxygen in the hemolymph of most molluscs, and some arthropods (invertebrates) . Not frogs which are vertebrates, having backbones or spinal columns and use hemoglobin. Interestingly the insect looking extraterrestrials use Hemocyanin, at least that is what it is in the story line. See More

once many many years ago in amsterdam , in my chemical days, i took a very large dose of speed. I was moving so fast that the world slowed down. So much so that i witnessed the common house fly doing its dance in slow motion. when I jumped ...off the highest Bungie at 270 metres a few years ago I witnessed the same experience. It was only a few seconds but it appeared to be like a 35 minute jump. I witnessed some scientific tests that measured the parson's interpratation of time as they jumped and indeed it was as I had experienced, in their minds slowed down. So time and speed must be on one hand our own experience vs reality. Not sure if it is relevant but there you are....( p.s I am stitcly tea tottler now..boring i know).See More

Richard, The HAA High Altitude Airship program was cancelled for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the lighter than air factor of flammable gas, the inconsistency of uniform distribution and other problems associated with nanot...ube materials and the fact that there is nothing much to push against at 80,000 feet. Also, there is degradation of solar panels by UV light and wind which blows it off station. I worked on it for 3 years with a high level aerospace designer. It is a nightmare in more ways than one to get involved in the aerospace industry. I highly recommend you make your movie instead.

On your earlier post, I have it somewhere in my files that there is acceptance of either a magnesium or copper bonding with the oxygen molecule in frogs. It did send me on a review, though.See More

This is a total trip I just discovered some additional facts and relationships (puzzle pieces) that I was missing thanks to Robin's information which didn't agree with some of the information I understood to be true. Everything and EveryOne... has its divine purpose for being. So I went to look up some stuff. First my response. I thought Jet streams were 33,000–52,000 ft. Although Jet streams wouldn't always be that practical, flowing mostly west to east in other words one must fly towards the Sun rise when riding jet streams it might be at times possible to utilize. Helium is non-flammable Because it is lighter than air, airships and balloons are inflated with helium for lift. While hydrogen gas is approximately 7% more buoyant, helium has the advantage of being non-flammable (in addition to being fire retardant) it is the second most abundant element in the universe atomic number 2.See More

Some interesting things about Helium which is a very cool element, unlike any other element, helium will remain liquid down to absolute zero at normal pressures. This is a direct effect of quantum mechanics: specifically, the zero point ene...rgy of the system is too high to allow freezing. Helium II is a superfluid, a quantum-mechanical state of matter with strange properties. Also Helium has a valence of zero and is chemically unreactive under all normal conditions. The thermal conductivity of helium II is greater than that of any other known substance, a million times that of helium I and several hundred times that of copper. This is because heat conduction occurs by an exceptional quantum mechanism. The flow of heat is governed by equations that are similar to the wave equation used to characterize sound propagation in air. When heat is introduced, it moves at 20 meters per second at 1.8 K through helium II as waves in a phenomenon known as second sound. from WikipediaSee More

Laura, The main problem for low altitude airships which already use both solar power and some are using nanotube material is they are sitting targets. If something happens to them, they crash straight down and whatever they carry becomes a ...problem for the population below. The risk factor is too great. In terms of HAA and Space Ships, this is where the need is and where money goes into design. The problem is staying on station and countering wind and the best inflation material is Hydrogen. As there is no oxygen in space unless you put it there, there is no way for the hydrogen to burn if there is a spark. The only exception to that are superconductive material that sustains plasma arcs with metals.

Richard, the US Government has a monopoly on Helium for airships and China has a monopoly on Xenon. Nanotubes grow dendrites and pulverize the surrounding lesser hard material because they are reactive to UV light. The body disintegrates. Better to move right onto conformal coatings. I am not going to spend any more time on that. In the end, it is a waste of time, the corporate thieves will come and get you and put you into a prison camp to work for them for free. They are not going to let anyone except Japanese and Chinese companies control the air. There is as much money pressure as there is unequal pressure on the interior of the dirigible material, like a weak spot in an artery.

Thus, Airships are used not for human transport nor fuels and such but for communications and even weapons. They are classified ultimately and not worth your time unless you go and work for Boeing or Lockheed Martin, who already have every imaginable design there is and then some, even if they do not own them.

James, you are right. It is only entertainment. How could it be anything else with no funds attached for accounting purposes?See More
