fredreload Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Computer and life form mix has been a general consensus these days. Well you can't really develop a laser from organic life, so why not mix machinery with life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrP Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 If we can evolve the ability to detect light... and other animals can evolve the ability to emit light.... then why couldn't another creature evolve such that the light it emits be amplified by stimulated emission? Imagine that! Imagine a shark with fricking lasers! You heard it here first!. I reckon that 1500 mutated land capable Russian laser sharks swimming up the Thames would take the whole of London in a few hours with very little resistance.

You could, incorporate the neuronal structure into that of a computer. Since they both run on electricity. So would you grow a watch built out of neurons on your wrist based on the DNA given high enough mutation rate, that is hard to say. The eel is an attempt to combine electronics with organic energy.

Strange Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Ah, you are thinking of the electric eel. (Rather than a real eel) That would be a rather inefficient (and shocking) way to power a watch. You would need to feed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 IIRC, electric eels (and many other fish) release regular pulses to sense their environment. Perhaps you could breed one to release a pulse every second, and then a bigger one every minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
