Well, they have this thing now called "the internet", so what you do is, you buy a computer, and then when you get it home, you download this thing called a "browser", and there's this little box up at the top, and what you do there is, for whatever you want to know, you just type the thing you want to know about into that box, and then it looks it up for you.heydaralon wrote:I am quite jealous of your ability to just casually talk about shit as diverse as physics, bio, econ, and history. That guy speaker is the same way. He knows a lot about physics and humanities stuff. Where did you learn about this stuff? Are you self-taught?Smitty-48 wrote:Well, if you use molybdenum, or tungsten oxide, you can probably cluster those metallic elements together and eventually, given some time, they'll probably figure out how to incite structures like membranes and enzymes, and then it will be like artificial RNA.heydaralon wrote:
lol I know you are trolling, but I'm talking about using what we know about the ratios of Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen and Oxygen in living animals and creating a living thing by combining these elements. We don't know how to do that, so what are we missing? So far, we have only managed to make life out of existing life, as you say, but not just from scratch. I wonder what important piece or step eludes us.
Cellular replication is probably not that far off, although more likely to be quite metallic at first, more like self replicating nanites.
It's like an encyclopedia, except bigger.
