I am a biologist. We already know many of the things you asked. For example, the stacking energy between bases: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1360284/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1360284/ All this can be studied with some chemistry. These people are engineering new organisms with a new genetic code and new amino acids. It goes far beyond mere study. It's as if someone suddenly said, "Yes, but imagine if pianos had 99 keys!"
- Pfhreak 8y agoThis seems analogous to: "No one will ever need a 100 megabyte drive!" "No one could ever use a 1 megabit network connection!" "No one will ever use more than 256 megabytes of RAM!" But I don't know enough biology to understand if that's the case.
- falsedan 8y agoThis is more like: "no one will need gold audio cables!" "No one could ever tell the display refresh rate was 1kHz!" "No one will ever use a mineral oil bath to cool their PC!"
- drilldrive 8y agoGold audio cables are useless, yes? I assume the other two are just as such then, if that is the analogy you are shooting for.
