A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
I love that "Uh, guys?" is a real in-character reaction and moment in many episodes of SG1. This story easily could have been a plot in the show.
While Star Trek had these wonderful "this is why we explore the galaxy" moments, SG1 wasn't afraid to place characters face-to-face with something or someone that would just erase existence or end humanity if the next moment wasn't handled the right way.
Worst that there are also unknown Virus and Bacteria found in the Permafrost, which are also defrosted with the Climate change. A lot are also still life..
Although, most likely less-evolved hence less-threathening than the current virus and bacterias.
Is the saber toothed tiger is less threatening than the common house cat ?
Not less evolved. Just evolved differently for alternative environmental circumstances.
There is no hierarchy of evolutionary traits. Just an amalgamation of traits that are or are not useful in the current environment. What genetic makeup is effective in one place and time is useless in another, and what was once useless may now be beneficial.
We have no clue how threatening they could potentially be.
Less evolved as in the product of less evolution. There is such a thing as more and less because more happens over time.
To have "more or less" of something implies the effectiveness of the product is directly caused by the metric being measured.
The amount of time a genotype took to evolve has no bearing on the effectiveness.
There is no such thing as "more/less evolved". There is no gradient. Something either is evolved to adapt to its environment or it isn't.
Ok, but evolution doesn't follow a straight path. The ancestors of whales looked like wolves, while whales look, act, and function much more like fish, which those wolf-like pre-whales evolved from way earlier up the line. This is a common misconception about evolution, so don't feel bad for getting caught in it.
They are investigating it, some million years in the oldest beeings in Earth don't make evolutive difference to the current ones. The only question is, if they can infect humans or animals or not. The climate change make that all tipe of indesirable things are defrosted, adding more dangerous diseases to the existing ones.
Their opponent:
Oh they are going to love microplastics
Several<>two
Several were defrosted, two woke up
= The others didn't.
RIP worms
The dictionary definition says more than two, but it also says it mean some; which has a definition of an unspecified amount.
One funny thing about the dictionary is that complex words are explained in simple language and simple words are explained in complex language.
Yes, danieljackson?
Did the scientists at least think the worms were getting better on the drums?
Perchance they are together with a Jewish bass player.
Would anyone still love me if I was a 41,700 y/o worm? 🥺
I would ancient worm, I would
Leto?
Are you asking for a friend, old worm?
always believe in your soul
Indeed.
The Russians were pissed when all of their soldiers died and only SG-1 made it out alive.
Despite the apparent huge age gap, they can still date under the “half your age plus 7” rule.
