Zero Wing

That was the first place I looked, and all it says is "look, i come in three sizes!". But I found a result that starts from the 'beginning', so it's answered now.

I just want to interrupt for a half-way random note; those guys are all ivy league, and tough to get in to, so if your act isn't at it's best right now, at least keep other schools that are sorta "up there" with them in mind. I know U of M has nice med/tech programs, esspecially in enginineering. Ok, as you where; just saying.

I did, smart-ass. If you don't want to answer a question, then don't answer it.

Ok, as far as I know from what i've heard, it's theory and can't exist on earth, but... How would something like this work and be implimented? In a sci-fi manga i havn't read yet, it's used for armor, but that's all I know..

Superficially, we may be the same. However, the differences in intent, morals, and mind-set make too obvious; it's not like anybody on the planet has a longer record than the middle east when it comes to unnecessary riots and war over some of the most stupid things - so what Israelis live there now; they're not leaving, so get the f*ck over it. Muslims are the only ones you ever hear about when it comes to rioting over something like a damn cartoon. It's called 'turning the other cheek', something every other religion has learned to do. Over here, we make fun of jesus all the time, and even the born-again people and evangelists just ignore it, or at least quietly condemn it. Muslims for some reason just have to find an excuse to start something, and is extremely childish in my view. If they all went and nuked eachother into oblivion, chances are i'd be the last to care - we'd probably be better off without Islam.

Cancer? So reproducing the cell at a decent rate so the new type can completely take over is too difficult right now? I always thought it was because the virus was for some reason unreliable in that the imune system would eventually catch on. Or do I have it completely wrong...?

This is why I hate religions, Islam being the most infantile. The only thing they've done is run around the desert destroying each other and anybody else that doesn't agree with them (jewish population) for the past 3,000 years. This is rediculous - esspecially when concerning something so simple. God doesn't exist, and whatever the religion's aims are, (i'm not sure even they know anymore) they can't be achieving them. All the muslim world (at least in the middle east) seems to be doing is pissing people off, and jumping at every little excuse to go be-head somebody. Excuse me for this last blunt comment, but they're seeming more and more like just a giant waste of space.

I was wondering about the different methods being tried right now in order to modify an animal's (humans, more specifically) genome (as an adult). Is the whole virus thing really working, or no? Is it going to have to be an over-hauled embryo who's stemcells you'll have to pump somebody full of to completely modify them? Nano bots??? Not at school at this moment, and the internet's way to big to narrow it. Could somebody help me with this?

Does noone know the answers to these questions?

Ok, here's my actual question; how can the body convert already specialized cells back into stem cells? And do these cells being converted really come from other parts of the body? Don't they need them?

...well, there's no reason for somebody to go through the trouble of writing it, if there's no idea (sci-fi, or not) behind it. Can you explain what the person is thinking here, or where it's coming from?

I was reading this little paper i ran across, and wasn't sure if i was getting the jist of this right. The corresponding figure is here. Is this guy saying that muons can be created by rapid accelleration of electrons to sub-light speed? And if it's not to much trouble, could somebody give me an idea as to what you'd use to achieve that?

That makes sense. Thanks for the view.

Well, yeah, sorta. But i was thinking that an emp blast to your system would shock them all to deat. However, that brings up another question i never really asked myself too much, or at least not enough. Where does the energy [for the nanobot] required to do work come from? Generated in the same way our natural cells do? And if so, wouldn't that require an extra load of nutrients the person would have to consume?

Engineers design things because they're needed, not to waste time and money on some idea with not even a forseeable practical use. Problem with this concoction eliminate?
