Do we know the risks and possibilities of genetic engineering?




What is natural?


Have you ever seen liger? Liger is the hybridization between tiger and lion. And that animal is not the only hybrid species that is created in the laboratory. The film above this text introduces interesting lion hybrids. 

But we forget that genetic engineering allows researchers to connect genomes even from vegetables to humans. And that thing makes the "little green men" possible. In movies, the "little green men" are some stereotypic aliens. 

When we are thinking that the skin of the extraterrestrial alien would have a photosynthesis ability. That allows them to live without vegetables. But there is the possibility to combine the genome that controls the chlorophyll production in vegetables with the skin cells of humans. 

The genetically engineered "little green men" or vegetable-human hybrid would have green skin. That has an ability to photosynthesis. In that case, the genome that makes chlorophyll for vegetables would transfer to the skin cells. And that makes the skin photosynthetic. Genome therapy or genome transplants can use for removing hereditary diseases or improve the lifetime of humans.

The use of bacteria as the medium. In genome transplant. 


The genomes >>>Transplant to bacteria>>>Bacteria will inject to blood>>>Then that bacteria is starting to create retroviruses that transfer genomes to human cells.

The genome transplant can make by using genetically engineered bacteria. Those bacteria can create viruses that are used to transfer genomes to human cells. But the same technology can use for creating bacteria that create viruses for biological weapons. 

When we are looking at things like genetic engineering. We are facing animals that cannot even exist in the natural world. Nanotechnology and genetic engineering are the ultimate combinations for creating hybrid species that can be the salvation of the worst nightmare in human history. There is the possibility to connect genomes over species that are not combined. 

The genomes of vegetables, insects, and mammals can combine by using nanorobots. And that kind of experiment can bring a new way to produce tissues for organ transplants. Another way to think is that those experiments are bringing new dangerous species to nature. 

Genetic engineering makes it possible to combinate the genomes of diatoms and some other organisms that allow making the crystals which growth is the DNA controlled. Or it can use to make the turtle whose shield has a silicon core. The core of diatoms is silicone. And nanomachines can combine those genomes with the cells that create the shield of those animals.

The thing that makes turtles interesting is that those lizards live a very long time. And the genomes that allow turtles to live about 150 years are researched in laboratories. That kind of genome can be the key to extending our lifetime. But then we are facing the key question, what is natural? 

When we are thinking about liger from the top of the text we must remember that there is the possibility that the hybrid species can escape from laboratories. And that kind of thing is causing risks. The most well-known hybrid animal is the hybridization of dogs and wolves. That hybridization is used to keep some dog breeds wealthy. 

Outcoming genomes are needed to connect to dog breeds for removing degeneration. That happens through the dog-wolf. Dogwolves are causing problems because they are not afraid of people. And they can attack also humans more often than a normal wolf. Those outcoming genomes are keeping those dog breeds wealthy. Outcome genomes remove things like character defects. 

The thing that we forget about the dogs is that those cute fellows are not natural. They are created by hybridizing things like hyenas and probably red wolves or grey wolves. It's unknown which canines were used for making the first dogs. At first, humans tamed wolves. But then humans started to breed those wolves. And breeding means that there must be connected genomes from other wolf species like hyenas and African wild dogs. The dog is one of the most bred animals in the world.

Use virtual "perpetual motion machines" and seawater as energy sources.

   Use virtual "perpetual motion machines"  and seawater as energy sources.  The Archimedean screw can offer almost endless energy sources.  "Robert Fludd's 1618 "water screw" perpetual motion machine from a 1660 wood engraving. It is widely credited as the first attempt to describe such a device." (Wikipedia/Perpetual motion) The term "virtual perpetual motion machine" means a machine. That pulls water to the upper tank using a capillary tube. Then that water will fall through the generator or turbine wheel. The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a "perpetual motion machine", that is impossible because of laws of thermodynamics.  The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a " real perpetual motion machine", which is impossible because of the laws of thermodynamics.  The real perpetual motion machines don't use outside energy. And that's why they are not possible.

Will humans survive the sun's red giant stage?

"As the Sun matures into a Red Giant, the oceans will boil and Earth will become uninhabitable." (The Conversation, The sun won’t die for 5 billion years, so why do humans have only 1 billion years left on Earth?) Sooner or later, all stars use their hydrogen. And then they turn into red giants. Sun is a yellow G spectral class star that turns into a white dwarf. But before that, the sun will turn larger.  The sun turns red and that means. It starts to send more infrared radiation. This thing will turn Earth into a hellish temperature that vaporizes water from Earth.  It's possible. That Earth will also vaporize with Venus and Mercury. Some scientists say that we have only 1 billion years to move farther in the solar system. The habitable zone will go to the distance of Jupiter and Saturn, and maybe humans find a safe place in those distant moons.  It's possible that before Sun will grow too large humans make large groups of mirror satellites or large shields that sho

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.  An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate.  AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru
