命运号角

Cryonicist response: Agreed—that’s why we don’t freeze people. Please read about what cryonics is before saying more words out of your mouth.
冷冻专家同意这种说法：“这就是为什么我们不采取冷冻。反对之前请了解一下人体冷冻法。”

Among the cryonics skeptics who literally don’t get what modern cryonics consists of is celebrity physicist Michio Kaku, someone I normally like, but who in this clip is taken to town by Alcor’s CEO for having no idea what he’s talking about.
怀疑人体冷冻法的人里，著名的物理学家Michio Kaku根本不知道现代冷冻法是什么样的，我本很喜欢这个物理学家，但Alcor的CEO无言以对。

Part of the reason most scientists don’t get cryonics has to do with its cross-disciplinary nature. Alcor explains:
因为大部分科学家不了解人体冷冻法的跨学科性，Alcor解释道：

Most experts in any single field will say that they know of no evidence that cryonics can work. That’s because cryonics is an interdisciplinary field based on three facts from diverse unrelated sciences. Without all these facts, cryonics seems ridiculous. Unfortunately that makes the number of experts qualified to comment on cryonics very small. For example, very few scientists even know what vitrification is. Fewer still know that vitrification can preserve cell structure of whole organs or whole brains. Even though this use of vitrification has been published, it is so uncommon outside of cryonics that only a handful of cryobiologists know it is possible.
大多数单一领域专家说没有证据证明人体冷冻法会成功。那是因为人体冷冻法是基于三个不相干学科的技术。这使得很多专家可以单方面评论人体冷冻法。比如，很少有科学家知道玻璃化，知道玻璃化能够保留整个器官、大脑的细胞结构的就更少了。就算玻璃化流行起来，这也是一不同寻常的技术，只有一部分低温生物学家知道它的可行性。
