In his first suspended animation stages, his body was stored at Edward Hope's Cryo-Care facility in Phoenix, Arizona, for two years, then in 1969 moved to the Galiso facility in California. Bedford's body was moved from Galiso in 1973 to Trans Time near Berkeley, California , until 1977, before being stored by his son for many years.
Technicians preparing a body for cryopreservation in 1985. Cryonics (from Greek: κρύος kryos, meaning "cold") is the low-temperature freezing (usually at −196 °C or −320.8 °F or 77.1 K) and storage of human remains in the hope that resurrection may be possible in the future.
Suspended second chords are inversions of suspended fourth chords, and vice versa. For example, G sus2 (G–A–D) is the first inversion of D sus4 (D–G–A) which is the second inversion of G sus2 (G–A–D). The sus2 and sus4 chords both have inversions that create quartal and quintal chords (A–D–G, G–D–A) with two stacked perfect ...
[citation needed] While Ettinger was the first, most articulate, and most scientifically credible person to argue the idea of cryonics, [citation needed] he was not the only one. In 1962, Evan Cooper had authored a manuscript entitled "Immortality: Physically, Scientifically, Now" [13] under the pseudonym Nathan Duhring. [14]
Broadwick ready to drop from a Martin T airplane piloted by Glenn Martin..

A suspended chord, or "sus chord", is a chord in which the third is replaced by either the second or the fourth. This produces two main chord types: the suspended second (sus2) and the suspended fourth (sus4). The chords, C sus2 and C sus4, for example, consist of the notes C–D–G and C–F–G, respectively. There is also a third type of ...
Leaf was involved in the first experiments done by a cryonics organization. [5] He is most famous for developing with Mike Darwin a blood substitute shown capable of sustaining life in dogs for four hours at near-freezing temperatures. [8] Leaf was the head of Alcor's suspension team and participated in many suspensions of Alcor patients. [4]
Christian was the first person to explore the possibilities created by the electric guitar. He had large audiences when he played solos with passing chords. [8] According to jazz critic Leonard Feather, Christian played a single-note line alongside a trumpet and saxophone, moving the guitar away from its secondary role in the rhythm section.
