AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of using living cells, akin to the gel bags depicted in Star Trek, as cores for computer systems. Recent advancements in tracking methods are enabling deeper investigations into cellular processes, which could lead to breakthroughs in understanding diseases. This research suggests a potential future where biological components play a role in computing, bridging the gap between biology and technology. The implications of this could revolutionize how we approach both computing and medical research.

I haven't watched Star Trek, but what I took from the article is that advances in tracking methods will allow further study of the specific organization of cellular processes that lead to disease.

I wonder how much stories were written, that involve space fighters, and arent so soft as Star wars. I dont think missiles totally make fighter craft obsolate, for example the former cant escort shuttles if one wants to capture a celestial body. I dont insist fighters have to be manned (i enjoyed Enders game about someone control the events for afar) but i also think it isnt totally unjustifiable.

Thread 'Avatar (film): antigravity and unobtanium'

I thought I had discovered a giant plot hole in Avatar universe, but apparently it's based on a faulty notion. So, the anti-gravity effect that lifts whole mountains into the sky is unrelated to the unobtanium deposits? Apparently the value of unobtanium is in its property as a room temperature superconductor, which enables their superluminal drive technology. Unobtanium is found in large deposits underground, which is why they want to mine the ground. OK. So, these mountains - which...

Thread 'Dune: Prophecy, what to read for additional story context?'

So far I've been enjoying the show but I am curious to hear from those a little more knowledgeable of the Dune universe as my knowledge is only of the first Dune book, The 1984 movie, The Sy-fy channel Dune and Children of Dune mini series and the most recent two movies. How much material is it pulling from the Dune books (both the original Frank Herbert and the Brian Herbert books)? If so, what books could fill in some knowledge gaps?
