Tesla was loco.


But that thing with the dog head. WTF creepy and intresting.

The whole thing about visibility was the Phiadelphi-Experiment, where they made an entire ship including the crew invisible. Sadly the whole crew went nuts.

But why test it on something small like an apple first? A whole ship with crew is way more fun :P

To come back to topic:
I've heard of something similar a while ago, if I recall it correctly. Some scientiest revived dogs by replacing their blood with some kind of fluid....stuff.

Or maybe they "freezed" them with that fluid stuff, only to revive them later.
Something like that.

Can't really recall it exactly.


Oh and relating to the BrainTrans website:
WTFHOLYSHIT? If it wasn't a fraud I would get serious headaches by now

Tesla was not Russian

ah, russian, poslih 'tis all the same to US ignorant Americans. However he worked most of his life in America- filthy immigrant! taking our jobs...! :ranting:

To come back to this - Tesla wasn't Polish either :whistle: , bu tI guess I could agree on the ignorant part of the quote (just make it a bit more general then just one nation)...

How could the brain transplant work?
I mean,you could remove brain from one's head and put it in another,but that's about it...you would simply end with two dead bodies and two disembodied brains,sitting in their skulls

That experiment was made to try only a "radar invisibility"! But (maybe) something went in the wrong way...

Nowadays many scientists are working on invisibility, which is just a special quantic state of the matter that leave rays of light passing trought things.

But i'm going

Turns out Nikola Tesla was a serb.
oh well, am anum ad astra, as they said in rome- you learn soemthing every day.

[Sebatianos]

OK and now back to the topic...

So?

Except for the statements at the end - how long certain dogs lived... that' really nothing unnatural.

Just think of the people in the hospital, that are actually dead - but are still "alive". I'm talking about people who are alive only because they're hooked up on machines. Pull the plug and they die. Well, this photage shows one of the earliest prototypes of such machines, but that's about it. There's nothing creepy about it.

Were you to watch DaVinci cut open corpses would probably more disturbing and creepier, but then again - these are the steps that brought the modern medical science to where it is now.

Do you think dr Christiaan Barnard just woke up one day and said - oh, here's a heart, what if I transplant it? For such a transplant you need to keep the body alive while without a heart. And yes, it's basically really just a number of pumps - that's what out blood stream is.

As for the reataching of the head (not the brain as some of you started talking here)... Well, if you loose a limb it's possible to reatach it. Theoretically it would be possible for a head as well, but you'd need to keep an influx of blood both to the head and to the body (keeping both artifically alive). The only thing that kindda bothers me is the way they supply oxigen to the blood. I think there's a special function that the lungs do in order to do this (but I'm not sure). Also there's always a chance that the body will reject the transplant - although in this case it's the same tissue, so there should be no problem of that. Basically a body (be it of a dog or a human) is just a machine - a biological self reproducing machine - but nevertheless a machine. That's why it can be damaged and fixed. People have been clinically dead and brought back from the flatline. What's that other then re-animation? Only in those cases it's called saving a life.

I haven't really seen anything inprobably here. It might not be true, but there's a very high possibility it is. And it's got nothing to do with the Soviet Union, I bet other laboratories made similar studies (although for some reason in US they prefered dogs... Pavlov's dogs for psychology, Laika - the first dog in space... these re-animated dogs...).

Cause ameria has monkeys

[Blood-Pigggy]

What's this Ameria?

And doesn't a wide variety of countries have monkeys?

[punch999]

Yes but our monkey are half the population of america! :P
