The Bionic Beak: Winged Robots Take Flight

[RENTMEBITCH]

Could they build wings big enough to strap to my back? or jump in a personal one push a few buttons and it takes you via GPS to lets say the markets? hmmm you could get one for each member of the family and fly to where you want to go. I want 2 plz

[freercsimulators]

They have super micro flying machines by now, they build them by the atom. These are just to cover up the real technologies, like micro bee's with camera's.

[omegavalerius]

@freercsimulators

Well you are correct if by "they" you mean the nazis living on the far side of the moon.

[chiru2die4]

will i still be able to fcuk my girl in the future without being recorded by some device? guess not.

[ChaosButterfly8]

Watch out for bionic bird bomb droppings. 

[omarbravohen]

amazing!! what will be the next step??

[iknewitalready]

perfecting the predator drone robots.

/watch?v=to3Ymw8L6ZI

[cool70200]

Laserbeak from Transformers.

Soundwave and Megatron are gonna want their surveillance bird back.

[rsnboy08]

Another spy gadget.

[petradog409]

lol.

[Arabman666]

Watching this just makes me want to fly.

[Ahya728]

I find that bird sexy.. o.o

[DlomasterFTW]

BIRD UAV!!!!! YESSS!! WINNING!

[sterlingman]

Awesome.

[sohcsarewicked]

PLEASE READ: Please help these people stop the abuse of the birds. Watch the video on youtube called "The Pennsylvania Flyers = Cruel Cowards"

[keggerous]

wow this is amazing. . . ive heard theists say that birds flying is proof of god. heheh so i guess humans are divine

[TheIrredeemable]

@keggerous

Proof of god?

Fanatics can find god in anyhting, lmao.

[aman113]

@TheIrredeemable proof of god is not in the bird but in the wisdom we have that enables up to create such things.

[TheIrredeemable]

@aman113

Thats the problem with religious people.

They completely negate the human element in these break-throughs ins favor of "god did it for us".

[keggerous]

@aman113 why take the credit away from the men who created such things? the intellect and beauty of the human mind exists within us! it always has! we must take credit for the those in this world. with the good we must also take the bad. we are inventive and intelligent but we are also greedy and cruel. we create flying birds, medicine, and computers but we also create war, poverty, and suffering. only we can change the world. who else but us would do these things? god sure isnt doing it

[aman113]

@keggerous The complexity of our planet, our body which is desgined like a computer program that has many codes and just as so our body has many dna codes. The complex human mind all of this are not made by men so why give all the credit to someone whose inventions are a result of much biiger and complex designs that only suggests there is a creator. If you don't believe it then so be it I am not here to argue as it is a personal choice.

[keggerous]

@aman113 u believe in freewill? then why give credit to the forces of nature that created man and not man himself? ask urself this: why do we put ppl in jail for murder? dwell on that then ask urself why we shouldnt praise these men instead of a god. "The complexity of our planet our body which is desgined like a computer program that has many codes" look up the argument from ignorance fallacy. u suggest that only a god can create this universe and that DNA is a code, i disagree.

[aman113]

@keggerous No problems you are entitled to your opinions and so am I and lets end it here.

[Arabman666]

@keggerous

Theists also say bio-synthesis is proof of God. I'd like to see us try and turn a rock or some hydrogen into a living being.

[keggerous]

@Arabman666 well we (and by we, i mean a scientists) have synthesized a living cell from pre-existing DNA material. it isnt quite life frim a rock but it is artificial life. they removed DNA sequences from a donor cell, rewrote the DNA and manipulated it using a super computer and BOOM we have a synthesized bacteria . . . the parents of which is a computer. in the future, maybe we will be able to go the whole 9 yards and create life from scratch . . . would ppl still believe in god then?

[Arabman666]

@keggerous

Do you know how anti-climactic synthesizing a cell from DNA is? It's like saying "well, we took the key to life, and using already living material, we were able to make more"- At the time they did this, I was still a Hypertension Researcher, who made retro-viruses for cell marking. I thought it was the most ridiculous thing that could have been covered.

It's like growing ANY cell. Or doing a transplant from one person to another.

[keggerous]

@Arabman666 how can u say ur any kind of researcher when im a highscholl dropout and i know that what they did was far more impressive then just "growing a cell" or transplanting a limb. they built new strings of DNA with the smallest possible mechanism. its essentially a form of life never seen on this planet before . . .

[Arabman666]

@keggerous

You just answered your own Question. Lack of education makes everything people do seem wondrous and exciting. If I tried to explain to you that the concept of "Building" that DNA was already in use, you wouldn't understand. Viruses build DNA. We've been able to make those for a long time. They modify existing DNA and allow cells to produce modified proteins that produce modified cells.

That's what they did, only without the adenovirus.

[keggerous]

@Arabman666 they created the chromosome with raw chemicals and created a bacteria never before seen on the planet. its the first time any synthetic life has ever existed and the fact that u dont find that amazing tells me that u dont understand what that means. they understand enough about DNA to create new life from chemicals. they didnt do it to create life and disprove god, they did it to learn more about whats necessary for life to exist. this is the pathway to creating life from scratch

[Arabman666]

@keggerous

Mycoplasma laboratorium was NOT created from Scratch. It was created using Mycoplasma genitalium as a base genome. And it is nearly THE SAME.

We didn't create life. We just transplanted a "code" in a working cell for a "code" we made using another bacterial cell's "code" - Good God man, see, this is why this amazes you and doesn't amaze me. And I'm not the only one that weren't amazed. it's a nice accomplishment, but it's not a "revolutionary" finding, The concept already existed.

[keggerous]

@Arabman666 hahahah did u seriously go to college? watch this . . . /watch?v=QHIocNOHd7A . . . . they synthesized the chromosome FROM SCATCH! U FUCKING NITWIT!

[Arabman666]

@keggerous

We'll never be able to go the whole 9 yards. We can't take elements and make life. Hell, we can't take things that weren't living and make life (we essentially don't make anything, we just facilitate synthesis of living things by living things and say we did something)

And if we do, it still won't make sense, for as much sense as evolutionary theory makes to some people, Bio synthesis is IMPOSSIBLE through evolution theory.

It's more complicated than ppl know, or can comprehend.

[keggerous]

@Arabman666 "We'll never be able to go the whole 9 yards" u cant know that . . . "It's more complicated than ppl know" that includes u and happens to be the only true statement u have made

[Arabman666]

@keggerous

No offense, but I find a very common theme with people who are uneducated and taken amazed: they have no idea how the universe actually works. Biosynthesis breaks the laws of nature. The laws of evolution. The laws of everything. The Big Bang, and a bunch of inorganic non-living matter, can come together and decide to "Be alive"

You want to learn, get your GED and then go to college.

"Only true statement u have made"- No, it's not. You just don't understand how things work.

[keggerous]

@Arabman666 hahahah really? uneducated aye? more like self-educated, and i dont take offense because u dont seem too bright either honestly. "biosynthesis breaks the laws of nature" HOW SO!?!? id love to hear ur nobel proze winning science. "can come together and decide to "Be alive"" hahah and im the uneducate one? u dont even know anyhting about abiogenesis. nobody ever said that mater can decide anything. minds do the deciding, not rocks.

[Arabman666]

@keggerous

Actually, I meant "Can't come together than decide to "be alive".. typo, lol

But... This point is perfect.

"minds do the deciding, not rocks" I couldn't have said it better myself. And what mind existed before there was biologically any "living" material? When the big bang happened, the universe was nothing but elements and heat. And certainly a bunch of rocks can't get together and make themselves live, as you said, right?

So what mind created the first living thing?

[keggerous]

@Arabman666 well theoretically no mind created the first living thing. it was the product of chemistry on a planet with correct conditions for the phenomina to take place

[Arabman666]

@keggerous

Thanks for calling me a Nitwit. At 36 seconds he says the Chromosome was assembled in Yeast, something I already knew..... And Holy shit, guess what? YEAST IS LIVING. It took Yeast to assemble the Chromosome that they built from Chemical and a computer code... gee, now what did that computer Code for... M. genitalium, the Bacterial cell they copied! And where did the develop the cells...? In a living host cell.

You can't even understand the video. And it's a video.

[keggerous]

@Arabman666 without actually outright calling me a nitwit u were still insulting my intelligence fyi . . . i do understand the video. they synthesized the chromosome from scratch and cultured it in yeast . . . exactly what i said they did and it happens to be the opposite of what u said they did. u said they simply took one DNA strand and put it in another cell membrane. thats bullshit. they used the information from another cell yes, but it takes baby steps my friend

[Arabman666]

@keggerous

Sorry about sounding like an ass all the time. Why on earth are you getting into Bosons and fermions? All I needed to prove my point were the superficial nuclear numbers.

Anyways, nice talking to you. I'll stop by later an see if I can follow up. You have yourself a good night- and get a degree or something, it's a good idea. Hone that passion into legit credentials, and make a difference.

[keggerous]

@Arabman666 im sorry for being insulting as well. thank u for ur time and i hope u have a good nite too :)

[keggerous]

@keggerous phenomena*

[Arabman666]

@keggerous

What are the write conditions for writing the genetic code of a living organism? We're not talking about a special kind of rock being formed, we're talking about an organism that metabolizes energy, for completely useless reasons, being formed from nothing but a bunch of elemental rocks...

That's impossible.

The Paul Excl. Principal would prevent the covalently bound DNA strands from binding without other DNA strands to be replicated from. Which is what happens in living cells.

[keggerous]

@Arabman666 " we're talking about an organism that metabolizes energy, for completely useless reasons, being formed from nothing but a bunch of elemental rocksThat's impossible." and thats an arguments from ignorance. its called a logical fallacy. look it up the pauli excl. principle doesnt prevent the sharing of electrons as far as im aware. its why electrons go through quantum leaps and why we can make lasers and stuff like that. its the valance electrons that make covalent bond i believe

[keggerous]

@Arabman666 "You want to learn, get your GED and then go to college" so are u trying to say college is the only place contaiing any pearls of wisdom? im pretty sure u can grasp knowledge from anywhere, not only college. " You just don't understand how things work." i think i understand the way things work a shit load better then u do. u seem to think u know a lot more then u do or what u even could.

"Biosynthesis breaks the laws of nature. The laws of evolution. The laws of everything" . . . .

[Arabman666]

@keggerous

Friend, I used to think that. And if you think you can buy the books, and look up the info, and learn everything on your own, go ahead and try- but it's going to be a lot harder. You don't know what the laws of nature are: the laws in Physics. To you, I sound like I'm crazy, but to someone who graduated with a Bachelor of Science in biology, or physics, what I'm saying makes complete sense.

[keggerous]

@Arabman666 thats simply just not the case. saying that im "just not getting it" isnt an argument in ur favor. thats actually not an argument at all. i do actually know what the laws of nature are and none of them make it impossible for life to exist naturally. in fact, we know that organic molecules exist throughout the universe in abundance. the laws of physics? u mean culome's law or the inverse square law of gravity? or do u mean the speed of light which is 186k miles a sec?

[Arabman666]

@keggerous

No, I mean atomic theory, the Paul exclusion principle, and the strong and weak nuclear forces- which wouldn't favor molecules aggregating together in the state of entropy the universe was in after the big bang, and naturally spewing fourth life all alone.

And no, you're not getting it. The Laws of Nature say living is living, and non living is non living. You can't get living unless you already had living. Synthetic theory says "you can get living from non living"

[keggerous]

@Arabman666 what does the pauli exlusion principle have to do with anything? that is why electrons have different energy levels . . thats why chemisty happens in the first place. because two electrons with the same spin cannot occupy the same layer in the shells of an atom. its why matter is solid and not like photons . . .hahah u really dont understand this stuff man. i need to stop typing the " . . ." im sorry for putting those everywhere

[Arabman666]

@keggerous

Buddy, you can't expect to type something in Wikipedia and understand some extremely deep meanings. You just can't. If that were true, than education wouldn't be such a bitch to pay for. Everything would be free. Unfortunately, to understand "higher" concept, you need to understand the lower ones.

[keggerous]

@Arabman666 there u go again . . . saying that im not getting it and that my understanding is shallow isnt an argument. im sorry but i have yet to see any clear level of understanding from u on any of the subjects u claim to be educated on. tell me what the pauli exlusion principle is? if not what i just said? ive know about the difference between bosons and fermions for a few years now. tell me what the difference is buddy . . .

[Arabman666]

@keggerous

It's part of the learning process. When I was an undergrad, I used to feel like an idiot. Not that I want anyone to feel that way, but whenever I see someone who REALLY wants to learn, I can't help but suggest they do so formal. You gotta build on small concept to understand the big ones- and that's the key to not being fooled.

Anywho, I got a 20+ hour shift coming up. I should get some sleep. I might come back in a couple days to check on you comments, see if I can answer anything.

[keggerous]

@Arabman666 CONT . . . that doesnt even make sense? what laws of everyting? what laws of evolution? u dont know a fucking thing and it shows really bad buddy . .

[PERIZ99]

Amazing..

[downdatubes]

Incredible achievement!

[Bobofet241]

Ah, undetectable reconnaissance.

Human ingenuity..Incredible

[pkemrin]

Awesome. Now I'll have to worry about some of the birds around my house actually being government spies or police probes.

[cazyblood3]

its bigfoot bird
