if you cut off a starfish's limb, it'll eventually grow that limb back, but if you cut off its limb and catch some of its center ring in the division, it'll grow back into two separate starfish
why don't humans do that? we're more advanced organisms than starfish. why can't we figure out how they do it and use that to grow new limbs for people who lose theirs?
there are turtles that live for thousands of years because they don't age. if aging is caused by the deterioration of cells and slight corruptions in dna that cause them to grow back imperfect later, then in these turtles, their cells don't deteriorate and their dna never corrupts. they die from injuries and predators, but not of old age. they don't die
why haven't people figured out how to do that?
but...it's possible
it's possible because it already exists, it's out there in the ocean and we just barely know it. we've mapped the continents and spread civilization over the land and learned the terrain but the ocean is still a mystery and we just, we don't know what's down there and
no subject
the ocean, i mean
