Yeah! Like, antibiotics, man. It was basically mold that invented that! Totally not a medical breakthrough at all... no idea why so many people were impressed by it.
- bostonpete 11y agoFusion was invented by the sun (at least in this solar system -- there are theories that it was independently invented elsewhere too)!
- zzalpha 11y agoPfft, the sun just cribbed that idea from the big bang. Typical, unoriginal sun...
- dekhn 11y agoThe difference is that antibiotics weren't a tool to make more discoveries. They were an immediately applicable medical breakthrough (which also happens to be a useful tool, for example as a genetic marker). CRISPR/Cas9 is just a tool, not an immediately applicable therapy.
