The Daodan's ability to produce non-random mutations doesn't exist in nature. So, its purposefulness should be the result of something man-made, probably some kind of computer. So far I have had doubts that a computer could be produced inside a living system. Certainly, it wouldn't be a computer that has today's dimensions, materials or architecture. | The Daodan's ability to produce non-random mutations doesn't exist in nature. So, its purposefulness should be the result of something man-made, probably some kind of computer. So far I have had doubts that a computer could be produced inside a living system (2008?) but time has past now I'm quite confident (2016). Certainly, it wouldn't be a computer that has today's dimensions, materials or architecture. | ||
The ongoing miniaturization alone is just amazing: logic gates that range from [http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/10/111018111929.htm cells], to macromolecules like [http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/02/120217145747.htm DNA], up to groups of only a [[wikipedia:Nano_brain Duroquinone|few]] [http://phys.org/news/2011-05-molecule-multiple-logic-simultaneously.html molecules] | |||
Nowadays synthetic biology can create new [http://phys.org/news/2016-06-gene-circuits-cells-complex.html gene circuits] and [http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/02/130211104047.htm logic gates and memory] inside living cells. | |||
Looking at this progress the remaining problem seems to be sensing the full spectrum of stimuli feeding the self-improving models. | |||

Die Fähigkeit der Daodan nicht zufällige Mutationen zu produzieren gibt es in der Natur nicht. Ihre Zielstrebigkeit müsste also das Ergebnis von etwas Menschengemachtem sein, wahrscheinlich irgendeine Art Computer. Bis jetzt hatte ich Zweifel, dass ein Computer innerhalb eines lebenden Systems produziert werden könnte. Sicherlich wird es kein Computer mit heutigen Abmessungen, Materialien oder Architektur sein. | Die Fähigkeit der Daodan nicht zufällige Mutationen zu produzieren gibt es in der Natur nicht.

====Biology made from condensed matter?==== | |||
Possibilities of synthetic biology can be extended by [[wikipedia:Xeno_nucleic_acid|XNA]], adding new nucleic acids to the "alphabet". | |||
Now, what would happen if you even learn how to use even more [[wikipedia:Table_of_nuclides|isotopes]] and stick only to atoms and molecules that can be condensed? | |||
Pokemon! I always wondered how do these animals fit into such tiny space? Answer: the ball contains pools for fermionic condensates and a memory for the genetic and anatomic blueprints. Of course you need a techno sphere (gaia or whatever) to reach ultra cool temperatures, do fast scans and later on the printing. | |||

==Instant energy transport== | |||
In quantum mechanics they say, when you measure the state one one entangled particle you force the corresponding (e.g. spin) state on the other partner particle. Since the distance between these partners don't seem to play any role, couldn't you transport energy from one position to another? Entanglement is very fragile so you need some kind "entanglement regeneration". So far there's only rubbish on the internet concerning "entanglement regeneration" but I believe that one day even that is possible. [...] | |||
Another crazy addition to this is the usage of particles from stars because they constantly change states. Their partners are carried in BECs. (Certain merged fermions (matter particle) behave like bosons.) | |||
For robustness, the entanglement exist between cluster rather than single particle. Yorick switches off Möbius' safty protocol. He scarifies the regeneration for a short, full energy output. | |||
This technology is reserved for Nature's Decision. | |||

But here it is graphene-coated bubble that is self propelling due to a plasma jet at a hole, destroyed at contact. The bubble is magnetized causing electrons to be attracted and fueling a contraction mechanism. The positive charged protons are repelled and can escape only through the one opening. | ||
The "fun" thing is that these coated plasma bolts should do various kinds of damage: shock, burn, and impact. | The "fun" thing is that these coated plasma bolts should do various kinds of damage: shock, burn, and impact. | ||
