Is it possible to create a real live Jurassic Park?

[Bitcoin Magazine]

There are planets with dinosaurs that we are able to visit.  All you must do is believe.

Statistically speaking, it might be possible, but we cannot visit such planet, not even in the next Millennium if we survive our own self destruction

i want to "visit" mars.  for a period of 2 days.  i don't want to STAY there.  is this possible Branson?

I hardly ever smoke anymore.

Then go to a mental hospital or stop dropping acid

You lack of understanding does not constitute a lack of understanding in others.  Your negativity is only applicable to yourself.

Statistically speaking, it is 100% probable.  The universe is infinite.  We just need to learn how to utilize our mind's full potential and we can visit any place in the universe.

Yes.

Some of the Russian scientists tried to recreate Mammoths from the frozen corpses found in Siberia. But they failed in their attempt, as the Mammoth DNA was damaged beyond repair. So I believe that while something like this might be theoretically possible, it will be almost impossible practically.

So suspended animation probably wont work then lol.

You'll see mammoths soon enough, scientists didn't just stop trying. The only question is when.

Watch Total Recall instead.

"The baby female was found frozen in Russia so well-preserved scientists have even been able to extract blood flowing in the body"

Jurassic Park is on the way! I'm currently building and stocking loads of goat lifting/carrying devices. I'm ready.

There have been plans for establishing a Pleistocene era park in the great plains area of the USA since 2005, using known living species to populate it, along with cloned/manipulated mammals. Kolyma River in Siberia has had a Pleistocene park running since 1988. I believe members of that group and some Japanese scientists were the people talking about cloning woolly mammoths for rewinding efforts.

I don't think that this is going to be successful. The DNA, blood and tissue are already tens of thousands of years old. Even if they are extremely well preserved, they might not be good enough to clone a mammoth.

How long does dna actually last?

It depends on whether the DNA is exposed to heat, water, sunlight, and oxygen. If a body is left out in the sun and rain, its DNA will be useful for testing for only a few weeks. If it’s buried a few feet below the ground, the DNA will last about 1,000 to 10,000 years. If it’s frozen in Antarctic ice, it could last a few hundred thousand years. For best results, samples should be dried, vacuum-packed, and frozen at about -80 degrees Celsius.

Great topic, but I wonder if is good to have so big creatures near us hahahhaa. They are really huge creatures, they can also eat a lot

[gagalady]

Heh i saw that in movies but interesting idea to make It real , of course we could make real surroundings just like in a movie but about dinosaurs, i doubt newest technology could recreate them, but who knows, It just seems unrealistic to me.

Well, there are a number of reasons why we can't clone dinosaurs. First of all, we have already tried and have come out unsuccessful. Secondly, it is a difficult process that involves a lot of chance events at one time. Here are some reasons why it is not possible...


1. Dinosaur DNA is difficult to obtain and to sequence. Although ancient dinosaur DNA has been found, the DNA is broken apart and must be sequenced. This process is a little difficut because there is not a complete strand of dinosaur DNA anywhere to copy. We can't simply make it complete, we have to make sure that every base pair is in the correct place.

2. Even if we have the DNA sequenced, there will be some gaps that must be filled. Unlike in the movie, these gaps can't be filled by splicing frog DNA. Dinosaur DNA must be used to fill in the gaps in the DNA. However, we don't have the DNA to do this either. Also, splicing in frog DNA, will not create a dinosaur, it would create a mutant or a frog/dinosaur type organism.

3. Once the DNA is sequenced and complete, it must be inserted into an oocyte so that it can be cloned. The oocyte must come from the same organism that is being cloned (in our case this would be a dinosaur), and since no dinosaurs are alive today, this would be impossible. It wouldn't work to insert the DNA into crocodile ova because crocodile ova is specialized for crocodiles, not dinosaurs.

4. Even if crocodile ova could hold dinosaur DNA, a problem still arises with the development of the dinosaur embryo. Dinosaurs were born through eggs, so we simply can't put them inside of an organism. We must put them in eggs. In the movie, the scientist created plastic eggs. However, this would not work because every organism must have a specialized egg. A turtle's egg will not have the nutrients necessary for a fish, nor would a fish have the nutrients necessary for a turtle. Every organism must have its own special egg to nourish its young.

So, as you can see, there are a various factors that make it impossible for Jurassic Park to become a reality. Currently, we can't do it. However, maybe in the future, we might have the technology and the ability to clone dinosaurs and to bring them back to life.

For best results, samples should be dried, vacuum-packed, and frozen at about -80 degrees Celsius.

If it is vacuum-packed, then it could last a few tens of thousands of years. But unfortunately, it is extremely rare to find such vacuum-packed specimens of prehistoric animals in nature.

If the gentic code of Dinosaurs is found and the science is capable then I don't see why not.  I'm just thinking it would be best to do something like this on another planet lol.

[ubercool]

there is no chance, we wil make Jurassic Park.

[noviapriani]

Dinosaurs really?? BAD BAD IDEA… not that i think it will work, but if it did.. Did they learn anything from the movies??Can not be controlled…. but well.. that will be the end of the world.. Apocalypse by dinosaur. lol

people have to overcome their fear (it's a Star Trek Episode 3 idea).

That's what I'm saying, even we can't even manage to do such thing with species that went extinct a couple of thousands of years ago (the Mamoth is one of those) how are you expecting to do such a thing for something that went extinct hundreds of million years ago

10 months to get to mars, by the that time the earth should on the other side of the sun, and now way for you to get back ^^ so you have to spend some quality time there about a year and a half before thinking of heading back ^^
