Blade Runner vs Change Agent

DNA is a fascinating world. That single molecule of life contains all the information about an individual living being. Any bacteria, plant, insect, algae, fish, animal, or human grows from that one molecule of seed. Probably even some alien form is still waiting to be discovered on some moon orbiting Jupiter or Saturn. In one way or another, the same could be true with all life in the universe. All of us are grown from that single instruction manual inside the single DNA set of written directions. And there are no two identical DNAs in existence; even if we could mix the same two identical human egg and sperm cells several times, similar but different resulted DNA would always be the outcome. We are surely still not mastering DNA and bioengineering—it is still young science, and even though one giant molecule of life was hinted at by various scientists and scholars more than a century ago, it was only in the early fifties of the 20th century when James Watson and Francis Crick created...

Gravis Gravity by Gravitons

Don't take this title too seriously. It's wrong on multiple levels. Grammatically and scientifically. Nonetheless, it fits perfectly for this post. As for grammar amiss, I used the Latin root word 'Gravis' which means heavy, and it is actually the perfect adjective for gravity as we perceive it here on Earth. As for the scientific issue, the rest of the title might be all wrong. If we glimpse into the features of the three main natural forces of the universe, it is obvious that they work in more or less the same fashion—they use carriers or elementary particles to mediate the force through the force field. Photon is one of them, and it carries electromagnetism, while strong and weak forces in the nucleus, respectively, are mediated by gluons and w/z bosons and they are all confirmed in experiments. Gravitons are supposed to be the same thing as gravitation force, but they are never found and confirmed either directly or consequently. Ever since Einstein, we have had se...
