Cryogenically treated cables

"Are all this cable companies that cryo their cables wasting their time and everybody else’s?"

They are spending their time wisely and in a lucrative way. Question of ethics may remain, though.

"Was NASA duped, too?"

Yes, big time, They hired geoffkait.

As the hillbilly said to the city slicker in Deliverance, you don’t know nothin. I don’t mean to pry but is your brain really the size of a pea?

I am a city slicker, I don’t know nothin about peas.

Look right over your eyebrows. 

There have been papers, by real scientist (no for real), that have shown a several percent increase in conductivity in copper conductivity at room temperature after cryogenic treatment. What I don't remember (was a while ago), was what the initial purity of the copper was. I would not be surprised if the results are dependent on copper purity, hence if you are starting pure, there may be virtually no change. No indication this had any affect at all on high frequency, or any other useful property.

"...the electrical activity in copper when brought back to room temp will not be any better than with no treatment."

Finally! Thank you!

I have been trying to gently imply that warming it up may negate any possible benefit from cooling but to no avail.
