I don't understand what you are trying to say.


If you construct materials on an molecular level using all the endless possibilities given by the amazing complex biochemistry you can make materials that are 3000 times as strong as steel while being 10 times lighter. Like our hair, which is amazingly strong, and spider silk. Materials like that. We can make a material that is stronger as steel and as light as aluminium that can be streched out two times its lenght, or more.

Nature has only scratched on the surface on what is possible. But building on the atomic level is very complex.

Our bodies have 'factories' made up out of long strings of amino acids. And they are very very small compared to our actual factories. In theory you can create those as well. Instead of using surgury one could construct proteins and enzymes that cure the patient. Just put them in the patients blood and send her or him home and wait.

Not that I really care, but the above opinionated garbage is just that. 

this not opinionated garbage. Merely passing on an interesting theory for your edification.

In the meantime I think it's pretty pathetic that anyone would be happy to see a gender wiped off the face of the earth. Speaks volumes about the personality of the person who feels that way.


lighten up. Who says I am happy to see men wiped off the earth? god forbid  ;)

At the end of the day, this a joke, joyce.

labelling someone elses post as opinionated garbage I think is out of order.
I'm sorry that you misunderstood what I said.  I never even remotely implied that ada's post was opinionated garbage.  I was clearly speaking to the topic of any biologists who would make such an absurd claim.  ::)

I might add that with the way men are so anxious to kill each other in wars I don't think it really matters much whether nature would do them in anyway.  I don't think they'll wait around that long before they quite happily kill each other off on their own.  ;D

How can you predict 10 million years in the future?

I can: We will be dead.
