Calling all furry scientists

[Karric]

I reccon that could work though

[Rob_Silvermyst]

I think instead of looking for ways we can become anthropomorphs, why not look into birthing them? The big reason why many species cannot interbreed is because of the number of chromosomes in the gametes. Through genetic modification, it would be possible to add in additional chromosomes into one gamete to match the number in the other that it is to fertilize and create an embryo. We could experiment with whether to add human chromosomes or animal chromosomes to the one side that is lacking in number. Dogs would be the best place to start as they are omnivorous, though certainly more meat-centered in diet, they do still require some vegetable matter so there would be less issues, unlike a cat which is pure carnivore and requires certain specific proteins in their diet which might cause an imbalance in an omnivore human/carnivore feline hybrid.  We would also have to see, if successful, if a born anthro is compatible with humans, with anthros of same species, anthros of different species, or if  born anthro is born sterile.

Excellent notion and vastly nearer to us than becoming anthromorphs (though this saddens me) Maybe we can be reborn as them

Because I'm selfish.

Lol same

My user icon went so good with that. XD

I still stand by the nanomachines, son.

Dont we already have some legit progress on those?

[ST-84 Sahelanthropus]

Maybe. Although I kind doubt the actual nanorobots are being made or even looked into much. I think nanomaterials, like the carbon tubes or whatever, are very real, however.

[Galefargion]

I don't know if any are being made, but if im not mistaken ive seen a documentary on them and there has been considerable progress to the point its in fairly near sight of now. The current science is mostly focused on attacking antibodies and doing internal repairs i believe

Carbon nanotubes and graphene
I would rather focus science on creating a self sustaining fusion reactor, then we wont have to worry about the world energy crisis anymore.

[ST-84 Sahelanthropus]

A fusion reactor would be EXTREMELY impressive and beneficial, but what about hydroelectric, geothermal, solar, and wind power in addition? Aren't they already viable and totally doable alternatives to dirty, non-renewable combustible fuel energy?

[Oanta]

From my (limited) understanding, the amount of materials it takes versus the output of power is not as much as we need as a society so this is why there has been no huge change in how we get power.

while a fusion reactor / accelerator would be amazing i think at the moment we should still be looking into that but we should try and aim for something a bit more achiverbul right now like a thorium reactor as japan or china says that they will build one within the next 20 years so i think we should contribute towards that though a i do agree we should still be looking at a fusion reactor and america are getting somewhere with laser fusion which is god as that would help a lot to get that
so yeah i think we should research into that but get the thorium rector done at the same time as the research


oh and nanobots are being developed and their are some interesting thigs that people recon we will achive within the next 20 years with this technology  thorium

[Galefargion]

I thought we invented cold fusion already but just werent using it

[Karric]

no we havet developed cold fusion we can carry out fusion in partical accelerators though it is not economically viable the most energy we have managed to get out a a fusion reaction is just enough to power a small village for a thew hours or a day while it sounds like a lot its not enough but we are getting their 


fusion is one a the gems that physics has to offer and once we figure it out i firmly belive that man will exist for billions of years
