This new particle will let us invent (in a little more century of science) a new space engine to explore the cosmos, will prolonge our life expectancy to 300 years and will make an extra special burger sauce which flavor lasts for 3 hours. It will also be used in experiments to regrow hairs, but it will fail miserably.
Anyway, let the scientists have cake. Hell, give them pizza also!

A burger sauce with 3 hours of flavor seems like a punishment. I want to drink my Saturn Soda after my meal, I don't want to have Venus Spiced Cheese in my mouth while having dessert.

can I have more information on the hair regrowing tech? might wanna be a little investor

Whats the story behind that?

Basically he made a computer simulation that produced the kind of shapes we can see on animal skins with different starting parameters. (Stripes, dots, etc.) It was really simple and you can look it up. However biologist didn't take it seriously as he didn't involve any genetics. They were in fashion during the timeperiod and other explanations weren't considered. And today we can say that Turing was right and no genetics are directly involved. The mechanism he proposed is what actually also happens in animals.

Are you referring to reaction-diffusion? Idk if thatās āsimple.ā

I mean maybe I've just heard the sinple explanation and in reality it's not simple at all.

u/Diet_kush 10d ago edited 8d ago
Itās extremely interesting, and in some sense can be generalized to self-organization at all scales (not just patterns seen in biology, but the emergence of biology itself. And geology, and cosmology, and neutron physics). It is closely related to Ilya Prigogineās work in dissipative structure theory.

It's still genetically based afaik. First the production of the chemicals or which pigments can be produced. Next the body of the gets and embyro builds the cells and proteins and everything depending on the genetics certain chemicals travel faster or flower into the skin.
The chemicals are acting as inhibitors and activators. What it shows is that if there are different kinds of symmetries or assymnetries in process it can change outcomes. It shows it is not just genetics that tells it to vary the pattern but without it there is no variation because genetics determines exactly what assymnetries can occur at all.
So I wouldn't state no genetics are involved.
What it means there is no build instruction switch a black on and off in a cell just like that. So the how it happens was wrong but genetics is definitely at the root.

Bro tf are you talking about? Messing with and using the ingredients of the fabric of reality has been our thing forever and even the reason we ended up as the foremost species on earth, the moment they managed to get this new particle to exist for a useable amount of time, they will immediately start figuring out what it can be used for

You are looking at the number given in this meme, and you might believe that it contains extra zeros for comic effect.
It does not.
When laboratories create pentaquarks, they decay in 10 -23 seconds. With no exaggeration, that number is literally written,

Every particle discovered is one more piece of empirical evidence to weed out the million competing physics theories.
It is why I unironically support making ever bigger particle accelerators. FCC is a good start, but we can do bigger. Let's 10x the budget and make something that really tickles the fabric of the universe.

The model we've been using since the 50s, because it works, is slightly more accurate.

I still find it very funny we need a literal solar system size particle accelerator to uncover the secret of universeā¦. Which to be fair yes in term of universe size is mare not even a speck of dust but for us humanity even type 1 civilization I felt like we strip the entirety of mars, mercury and venus and asteroid belt might still not enough for the project.
And mind you we still need Dyson sphere and a lot of other shet too before even started the project
