As explained above, I do not apply electric current to the organisms. The electricity they received upon initiation was from a chemical reaction from an applied acid, but it was in the order of microvolts. From there, matters took on a life of their own...literally.
I've been quite interested in these ribo experiments since he told me of them (I was a med chemist prior to my art career out here.)
About electric charge, really I would think your beyond that point for anything but defense mechanism. (not necessarily a bad thing mind you, as much of lifeforms' traits both physically and behaviorally are in defense of a given stimuli.
Keep it on a very low level (V+A), you're not trying to build aminos from cobalt, just adapt.
I gave them a fully evolved species...a fruit fly, which contained many single cell organisms within it. The copied the DNA of the fruit fly and now have evolved into crawling larvae. The larva never enter the pupa stage though, but can reproduce on their own.
what observations have you seen from the administration of electrical shock and heat....just wondering when you consider that those are two other aspects of what helped life form in the primordial seas
Electrical shock was induced in the video via chemical reaction. Electricity was the last step in generating the life to spring from chemicals. I have not tested much the heat aspects of the lifeforms, but in the formulation process I heat the solution to 150 degrees celcius in order to begin the break down of any DNA that may be present from contamination of other living cells or bacteria.
you should really do the aquarium experiment....and have it set up to where you can adjust the heat within the aquarium and some how make it so you can safetly administer electrically shocks.....I haven't figured out the temp range or voltage range as of yet
Yes, I have considered it. I would prefer performing such long-term experiments in a controlled lab. However, I do not have such. If all else fails, which I hope it does not, then, yes, I will secure a small room in my house as a lab and continue this experiment. I am very anxious to see how these new lifeforms evolve and grow.
I have since been doing the longterm experiment in an aquarium since you first posted this. I am currently filming a feature length documentary on this study. The aquarium is quite active and interesting these days. I won't explain much now. Just watch for the film when it comes out. Should be sometime late summer 2008.

Jeff,
Have you considered how the organism will interact with other creatures such as an ameoba, or E. coli?

u ever thought of maybe getting a large aquarium and doing a long term experiment
