Darwin destroyed in new book

[scruffy]

lol you meant to say you don't have anything. Okay.

You too. Crack a fucking book. You are obviously completely clueless about modern science.

Do you know what a xenobot is?

That was already 4 years ago.

Do you know why Caulobacter Ethensis-2.0 is important?

No, you don't - but I'll tell you.

It was the first AI generated synthetic life form.

The first synthetic genome was 10 years before that. And 10 years before that, MIT was giving out prizes for synthetic molecular machinery.

And here you are talking about some cat named Darwin, who's been dead for 150 years.

No one cares! The world is way beyond Darwin. No one even cares about evolution anymore. Today it's all about engineering.

Go look up what a xenobot is, you might learn something.

lol so they weren't 'spontaneously created in nature ' then you fucking idiot. Stick to smoking meth and watching kiddie porn like the other commie deviant, you imbecile.

You still don't get it

No one cares about nature.

We're building our own stuff. We don't need nature anymore.

Darwin Schmarwin. No one cares.

So you're just trolling with idiot shit. Okay.

Okay, Rip.

Go back to sleep.

What could possibly go wrong with that?

It goes the other way if the particles are charged.

Does it? Wouldn't even a slight difference in electric charge be enough to overwhelm gravity?

"...How does it come about that elementary particles so altogether different otherwise as the proton and electron possess the same numerical charge? How is it that the proton is exactly as plus-charged as the electron is minus-charged?

It may help to accept this as a legitimate scientific question to know that in 1959 two of our most distinguished astrophysicists, Lyttleton and Bondi, proposed that in fact the proton and electron differ in charge by the almost infinitesimal amount, 2 x 10 -18e -- two billion billionths e, in which e is the already tiny charge on either the proton or electron. The reason they made that proposal is that, given that nearly infinitesimal difference in charge, all the matter in the universe would be charged, and in the same sense, plus or minus. Since like charges repel one another, all the matter in the universe would repel all the other matter, and so the universe would expand, just as it is believed to do. The trouble with that idea is that yes, the universe would expand, but -- short of extraordinary special dispensations - it would not do anything else. Even so small a difference in electric charge would be enough to overwhelm the forces of gravitation that bring matter together; and so we should have no planets, no stars, no galaxies -- and, worst of all, no physicists."

When the universe expands, does it stretch or goes it just create more space?

When the universe expands, does it stretch or goes it just create more space?

That's a good question. If you can tell me how dark energy is created I might be able to figure that out. But I think the prevailing thought is space neither stretches nor gets created, but simply is as Einstein's theory describes it.

Does the Universe expand by stretching or creating space?

The evidence that the Universe is expanding is overwhelming. But how? By stretching the existing space, or by creating new space itself?
