AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of achieving invisibility through genetic modification. One suggestion is that altering skin pigmentation could render a person invisible in low-light conditions. However, true invisibility would likely require more advanced techniques, such as manipulating cellular structures to mimic the transparency of organisms like jellyfish. The consensus is that while some concepts exist, the technology to achieve actual invisibility through genetic means is not currently available.

Is that any possible if we be invisible through the genetic modification ?
 
Biology news on Phys.org
The only thing remotely that i can think of that would give you the genetic capability to be invisible would be to darken your pigments which would make you visually invisible in the dark night.

But most closest thing and this would be a freak experiment would be to try a transparent cell like organism such as a jelly fish. -- to actually be invisible you'd need to controllably transform the cells to another energy and back which I don't see currently possible.

Thread 'I need help understanding this quote about recent Natural Selection'

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...

Thread 'Fermentation using mixed legume and grain feedstock'

I use ethanol for cleaning glassware and resin 3D prints. The glassware is sometimes used for food. If possible, I'd prefer to only keep one grade of ethanol on hand. I've made sugar mash, but that is hardly the least expensive feedstock for ethanol. I had given some thought to using wheat flour, and for this I would need a source for amylase enzyme (relevant data, but not the core question). I am now considering animal feed that I have access to for 20 cents per pound. This is a...
