Human scientists are … now basically attempting to create a form of life more perfect than the one nature created. It’s like we are trying to figure out what life will tolerate and what it won’t. This is kind of wild. Though, it could unlock so many things if successful.
IIRC, the plot of DEATH OF SUPERMAN kind of runs off of what happens when a form of life appears that can tolerate almost anything…
I often wonder if we really do ever solve DNA and can effectively use it as a language, if we’ll find that it’s just not very expressive.
