diversity dozen few genetic lose members remaining serious species talking wild
When you get down to a few dozen members of a species you're really talking about very serious problems, ... So this is a tool. From now on that there's no need ever really to ever lose that genetic diversity that's remaining in these wild populations.
consciousness break linear
Death is simply a break in our linear stream of consciousness.
law existence grows
The laws of nature are structured so that we grow and change, and get to experience the full spectrum of biological existence.
cells blood feet
So someday in the near future hopefully rather than having a foot or a leg amputated we'll just give you an injection of the cells and restore the blood flow. We've also created entire tubes of red blood cells from scratch in the laboratory. So there are a lot of exciting things in the pipeline.
entity mathematical protect
We have failed to protect science against speculative extensions of nature, continuing to assign physical and mathematical properties to hypothetical entities beyond what is observable in nature.
space brain together
Space and time, not proteins and neurons, hold the answer to the problem of consciousness. When we consider the nerve impulses entering the brain, we realize that they are not woven together automatically, any more than the information is inside a computer.
islands flying purpose
Today's preoccupation with physical theories of everything takes a wrong turn from the purpose of science - to question all things relentlessly. Modern physics has become like Swift's kingdom of Laputa, flying absurdly on an island above the earth and indifferent to what is beneath.
consciousness states probability
Any universe that could have preceded consciousness only existed in a probability state.
roles essentials biology
Until we recognize the essential role of biology, our attempts to truly unify the universe will remain a train to nowhere.
reality thinking space
I think the answer of course is that space and time are not these hard external objects. Again we're, scientists have been building from one side of nature (physics) without considering the other side (life in consciousness). Neither side exists without the other. They cannot be divorced from one another or else there is no reality.
space consciousness time-and-space
Without consciousness, space and time are nothing.
growing-up technology cells
In fact when you combine stem cell technology with the technology known as tissue engineering you can actually grow up entire organs, so as you suggest that sometime in the future you get in an auto accident and lose your kidney, we'd simply take a few skin cells and grow you up a new kidney. In fact this has already been done.
powerful bangs example
For example, if the big bang had been one-part-in-a billion more powerful, it would have rushed out too fast for the galaxies to form and for life to begin.
views law space
So for instance it becomes clear why space and time and even the properties of matter itself depend on the observer in consciousness. In fact when you take this point of view it even explains why the laws of the universe themselves are fine tuned for the existence of life.
