Cryogenics and the Future
Cryogenics is a study that is of great importance to the human race and has been a major project for engineers for the last 100 years. Cryogenics, which is derived from the Greek word kryos meaning "Icy Cold," is the study of matter at low temperatures. However low is not even the right word for the temperatures involved in cryogenics, seeing as the highest temperature dealt with in cryogenics is 100 (C (-148 (

of cryogenics can best be summed up by Krafft A. Ehricke, a rocket developer, when he said, "It's centeral goal is the preservation of civilization."
