  1. Could someone please explain the direct method used in weak measurement, and what are its implications.

    The relation between weak measurement and Hardy's paradox.

     

    I have tried to look in to the subject and see its connection to the double-slit experiment and how the act of observation can affect the result of this experiment.

  2. Those are the risks with any form of knowledge. It's up to us as scientists to provide correct interpretations of this knowledge, or at the very least make it accessible to the layperson. But just because something is scary doesn't mean one should abandon it (point in case my ex-girlfriend ;)). Maybe just more prudence would be advisable. Oh and we've technically already created new species. Check out J.Craig Venter's work, and before that there's a Plasmodium I think that was stripped of all but the most essential genes. I can't remember it's name though, sorry.

     

    Yea I've read about his work before. He didn't technically create a new species as CharonY mentioned. But it was a big step for future research, and maybe one day we'll be able to create a new species from scratch, maybe even a multicell organism! It's a really interesting field, I hope that I would be able to join scientists in this research criteria in the future after I finish med school :/

  3. We could use them to manipulate genes and as a result cure many diseases, create new species and prevent others from extinctions.

    I think there are pros and cons for finding out the meaning to all possible combinations. if fallen in the wrong hands, a disaster might result.
