Why Spinal Injuries (Even Minor Ones) Are Next To Impossible To Completely Fix.
In: Biology
Imagine you work maintenance at a google server hall. Imagine there’s a room there where all the network cables go. Spanning across this room is the “main cable”. Let’s say this cable is 1 meter diamater, and consists of 25 000 network cables connecting computers with the servers. Now, undo the zip ties holding this bundle together so it isn’t so neat.
Okay, so one morning you learn that someone has gone into this room with a giant axe and just gone to town on the main cable. Your manager says *Nothing is working here! Could you go out there and put the cables back together?*
So you have a room with 25000 network cables(oh and they all have the same color), where 17000 of them have been chopped off. Not cleanly either, some are chopped in two places so that many pieces are lying on the floor unconnected to anything. How would you go about fixing this?
The answer is of course scrap all of it, buy a new cable and reconnect it all from scratch. IRL that means making a baby and killing yourself, basically, which maybe isn’t the ideal solution lol
