How did they decompose if they were frozen? Or did this happen as they were thawed and basically just liquified as they warmed up?
The second. Turns out cryo places take a ridiculous amount of energy to keep the corpses at the ‘proper’ temperature, and those running such places often cut corners, and so leave out things like backup generators. The suspension fluids also need refilling periodically, which often doesn’t happen.
Edit: if you want to read the article this post is quoting, you can find it here.
The freezer in Futurama didn't need any special shit. This is false.
No modern Cryonics facility fits this description. They all have perpetual funds, take no energy as it's liquid nitrogen and not electricity doing the cooling, and I've never heard of any "forgetting" to refill. Source? Actually forget it you just wrote complete bullshit lol.
that's not how thermodynamics work. do you think a cryogenic liquid stays at cryogenic temps by itself? even in a storage dewar there's heat transfer.
You know nitrogen isnt just 'magic cold goo' in its liquid phase, right?
Who am i kidding; of course you don't!
Edit: love all these kurzwel-landian-assed 'science nerds' who read one SciFi novel in the 90s and think theyre science-knower intellectuals, but don't understand thermodynamics 101 or the refrigeration cycle or other basic shit they should have learned in high school.
No energy? Do you understand the laws of thermodynamics?
No, they understand the future, which is better. .ayve get on board, stupid Luddite.
I take it you didn’t bother to read the article.
Didn't one of these places recently lose power or go out of business?
Anyway, will all their frozen cell walls popped they probably turn to goo that much faster.
i think that business model is bs, but that should be treated and manslaughter.
given that the whole premise of the business is that they can be revived is kept in appropriate conditions. having the corpses decompose due to negligence is manslaughter. or if not, it means their business is fraudulent.
They're legally mausoleums or something, and don't accept living people, so... 🤷
Would be more simple to skip the freezing and go straight to goo
No, no modern Cryonics facility has had this happen. The article is referring to an event decades in the past
You're really bored. 🤫
