It'd be nice if we could all go to sleep for ten million years and wake up to a pristine Planet Earth. But then with our luck, we'd wake up and be promptly enslaved by newly-evolved rat people.Jonny Mnemonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06516458612879773986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-24442780749337489192014-05-27T11:31:51.003-05:002014-05-27T11:31:51.003-05:00Soon there will be no fish at the rate they're...Soon there will be no fish at the rate they're dying off.<br /><br />Oh, you're gonna like this one (the imagination runs wild with possibilities)<br /><br />http://www.cnet.com/news/suspended-animation-trials-to-begin-on-humans/<br /><br />Suspended-animation trials to begin on humans<br /><br />Knife- and gunshot-wound victims will be placed in suspended animation as the first human trials begin on this emergency life-saving technique.<br /><br />This month, the world's first attempts at placing humans in suspended animation using a new technique will take place at the UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania -- not for space travel, but to save lives.<br /><br />The technique will initially be used on 10 patients whose wounds would otherwise be lethal in an attempt to buy the surgeons some time. It works, as suggested by science fiction, by cooling the body -- but not by applying an external temperature change.<br /><br />Instead, a team of surgeons will remove all of the patient's blood, replacing it with a cold saline solution. This will cool the body, slowing its functions to a halt and reducing the need for oxygen. Effects similar to this have been seen in accidents: Swedish Anna Bågenholm survived trapped under a layer of ice in freezing water for 80 minutes in a skiing accident; Japanese Mitsutaka Uchikoshi survived 24 days without food or water by entering a state of hypothermic hibernation.<br /><br />[read the rest, see the short video]<br /><br />JJFH incidents are picking up once again in PA. <br /><br />It's getting to the point now where SOMEBODY in authority has to start calling 'em as they stand - atmospheric gases can cause explosions and fires in unlikely (and otherwise unexplainable) circumstances - like in the scrap metal fires. You will be proven correct (again) Jonny. It just takes time for the unimaginative to connect the dots.<br /><br />Tom<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
