Lev Navrozov emigrated from the Soviet Union in 1972. He chaired the "Alternative to the New York Times Committee" in 1980, and became a columnist for the New York City Tribune. His columns are today read in both English and Russian. On April 14, 2009, I received an e-mail from Thaddeus Paul Kochanski, Ph. D. (Ted), Chief Scientist and Executive Director, IEEE-GEMS Repositor. . . . And so on: his scientific and technological degrees and posts occupy almost a full page at the end of his e-mail, which he begins: “I don’t know about your technical background and so I can’t know at what level to discuss this issue.” Today, in 2009, that is 23 years later, Kochanski explains that “nano is not magic, the fundamental laws of physics apply to nano, and they don’t permit most of what Drexler is pushing as science”! Drexler, you see, is not worth Kochanski’s criticism as a scientist — he is only pushing for science something that is not science! Kochanski’s next paragraph goes back to Drexler: As for Drexler — I think it is sufficient to note that [the] Ted Williams head was deep frozen in a vat of liquid nitrogen in New Mexico by the same crowd that is talking about nano-super weapons. Well, go see Yahoo!: “Ted” Williams, an American left fielder in baseball, died at the age of 83 in 2002. As a famous man, he wanted his body preserved after his death. So, according to his will, his son John-Henry had, after his father’s death, his father’s body flown to Scottsdale, Arizona, where his head and his body were duly separated and placed separately into cryonic suspension (neuropreservation). So, contrary to Yahoo! as of today, Kochanski claims that Ted’s son John-Henry belonged to “the same crowd that is talking about nano-super weapons,” though, to begin with, in 2002 John-Henry had probably never heard of nano weapons. Nor is it clear what the neuropreservation of his dead father, according to his father’s will, had to do with “nano-super weapons.” http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/WTARC/2009/lev0345_04_24.asp
