Quote from: The Eighth Passenger on Jun 24, 2014, 10:19:23 PMYou won't be frozen solid at −150 °C?
Quote from: Local Trouble on Jun 24, 2014, 10:45:38 PMI like to think that words mean things and that "cryo" means "frozen." Not sure how to reconcile that with spoken clues about brain activity during hypersleep, but Ripley sure did look good after 57 years of beddy byes.
Quote from: SM on Jun 24, 2014, 10:46:50 PMWhere did the -150 figure come from?Prometheus mentions cryo sleep, cryo stasis, and subjects dream.
Quote from: OpenMaw on Jun 24, 2014, 10:52:14 PM"Roll down the window will ya?" does not mean you literally roll the pane of glass down like it were a carpet rolled into a tube.
Quote from: OpenMaw on Jun 24, 2014, 10:52:14 PMSo when a person uses slang terminology you take them literally?

QuoteWhen Parker says "Why do you freeze him?" I never once thought he meant literally freezing Kane into a popsicle. I took it to mean an arrestation of function, to hold in the current state thereof. There's a huge chasm between those two meanings, and plenty of evidence that falls on either side.
QuoteJust going by the visual look of things (Aside from the opening of ALIENS which, as someone previously pointed out was more likely due to the Narcissus drifting through cold space for 57 years. The whole ship was frozen looking.)
QuoteCan't you just end this whole discussion with a proclamation?
