Oh, and you’re upside-down. This is because liquid nitrogen boils off gradually from the top of the container. Normally, it’s no problem—the staff tops it off about once a week. But if, in some worst-case scenario, a container was forced to be left for a long time, the head would be the last thing to be affected—upside-down patients means it would take six months before the nitrogen boiled off so far that the head would be exposed.
然后你会颠来倒去的,因为在容器上方的液氮慢慢沸腾。一般是没什么问题的,员工会一周倒过来一次。但是如果你在45个头的容器里那就会被放在那很长时间,因为液氮沸腾你的头暴露在上面需要6个月。
And when it comes to blackouts, cryonics patients are totally safe—there’s no electricity involved in their storage.
直到容器里一片黑,冷冻会员就安全了,容器里不再通电。
And this is where you’ll hang out. Maybe for 10 years. Maybe for 150 years. Maybe for 1,200 years. But the time doesn’t matter to you. You’re on pause.
你会一直被放在那里,也许是10年,也许是150年,1,200年也有可能。时间对你来说不是问题,因为你暂停了。
Now’s a good time for us to take a step back and look at the big picture. If Point A is “I’ve decided I want to sign up for cryonics,” and Point B is “Oh cool it’s the year 2482 and here I am doing stuff,” there are four major Ifs that need to all go the right way to take you from A to B:
看看下面一张图,点A:“我决定报名冷冻”,点B:“我活在2482”。从A到B有4大条件:
1) If I legally die in a not really bad way and everything goes as planned with getting me into the thermos
我正常法定死亡,一切都按计划进行
and
2) If future humanity ever reaches a point where it has the technology to revive me to full health
未来人类达到原封不动复活我的技术
and
3) If the cryonics company can manage to store me safely and uninterrupted until that point
直到2),冷冻公司完好地不间断地保存了我
and
4) If when that point comes, the outside world actually does take action to revive me
直到2),外面的人类真的复活我
—then I’ll be there in 2482 doing stuff.
——那么我能活在2482年
The eight steps you’ve taken so far that start with choosing a cryonics company and end with you in the thermos only accomplish the first If, with all the other Ifs still standing in between you and the next step in your cryonics journey—revival.
这8步包括了从选冷冻公司到达到第一大条件、另三大条件都达成、冷冻公司的复活。
To understand how we can reach that step, we need to understand the deal with all four Ifs.
想要理解我们如何才能达到复活那步,我们还需要理解4大条件。
We’ll start by talking about Ifs 1-3, which need to be discussed together, because they’re interdependent and they work together. To illustrate why, let’s lay them out in the same visual:
1-3条件它们相互依赖,一起进行,要放在一起先讨论。为了阐述它们,我把它们放在图里一起说:
