To Create a Seed
We cannot make a human or a cat, but we can make a car.
Let’s make a seed. Let’s make a car seed that can grow into a new car, just like a tree seed.
After all, the universities, science textbooks, the elementary schools and science programs say seeds were made by accidental evolution. How hard can it be to make a car seed ON PURPOSE?
Evolution-the Theory of Mindless Genius
In fact, the evolution theory claims plant life was before animal intelligence. Think about it. If seeds can be invented before there was such a thing as brains, making seeds is supposedly something a plant can figure out, so it should be pretty easy.
We might reverse engineer a complete functioning car to make a seed that can "grow" a car. We will take inventory of all the parts and where they go. We will measure the size everything should be at "maturity". We certainly don't want car seats bigger than the car.
This is not just an experiment because this could be incredibly profitable. It would far cheaper to ship 5,000 car seeds than 5,000 cars. So, our desired outcome is to simply ship one box of 5000 car seeds and then on the receiving end, they open the box with instructions on what chemicals to add and grow these little car seeds into full-size cars. I suppose car wholesalers could grow the seeds and then sell the full grown cars to retailers.
Grow the Car Seeds
I would imagine they might look like blobs in the beginning when the car seeds begin to germinate. Little fetal cars that in a matter of weeks begin forming little headlights and little tires. So cute, like little toys.
Gradually it develops enough so we can open the tiny hood and under that hood there’s the early stages of an engine with spark plug buds, carburetor, air filter, water hoses and an oil pump. We will need the oil that is also forming there. And look, an air conditioner with tiny insulated wires. There is the muffler, the steering mechanism, and all these things are all forming because we pre-programmed it into the seed.
All the Little Parts
Gradually the seed must develop enough so we can open the tiny hood, and under that hood we see the early stages of an engine with spark plug buds, not full grown spark plugs. A tiny undeveloped carburetor, air filter, mini water hoses and what looks like something that will become an oil pump. We will need the oil that is also forming there.
And look, a little air conditioner is forming with tiny insulated wires. There is the muffler, the steering rod growing toward the steering wheel.
All these things are all forming because like any plant seed, we pre-programmed everything that is needed into the seed which will mature into a full grown plant. We can't make a plant, but a car is much easier, so we can do this. How hard can it be if it can happen by accident?
Perfect Fits, Perfect Sizes, Perfect Synchronization
You understand, to succeed we cannot merely have all the ingredients to make a car, parts must materialize in the right place with the right connections. Not only that, all parts must become the exact right sizes, so everything fits.
In fact, if the bolt grows faster than the nuts and washers, those nuts and washers could break. Threads must match. The tires must end up the identical size, the trunk and doors must fit perfectly in order to latch.
The side view mirrors can't grow on the roof. Just like any car, all parts must connect logically: the Speedometer, control knobs, radio, brake pads, and hey, let’s add a clock, thermometer and comfortable, adjustable seats.
Heading Goes Here
I remind you, we know how to build this car so now we are making a seed version. All the universities in the world teach this can happen over millions of years without engineers, without intelligence.
But with the cars, paying customers will have different preferences.
We need some kind of DNA to control customer request: color, style, engine size, interior options, custom features. How do we make car DNA to accomodate?
In human life we have different shapes and sizes, hair and eye color.
Miracles or Genius Every Day?
This is what happens everyday with every seed for every tree and plant. Each storing blueprints awaiting the provided right conditions that trigger the germination to initiate growing a mini version of its parent.
Car seed or tree seed, all the various different, interacting, fitted, functioning parts slowly appearing and becoming recognizable. Is this possible? Well, you've seen forests, billions of seeds of every kind around the world performing this amazing ritual daily. Is it boring? Not if you try to make a functional seed.
Rather than transport 5,000 mighty oaks full grown at 60-70 feet tall, we already can mail 5,000 seeds - today.
And then, as if this was not marvelous enough, each grown version makes dozens or hundreds or thousands of seeds, over and over again. Wow, this should the price of cars way down if the seeds provide all the materials and construction. Maybe manufactured seeds should grow in the trunk.
Heading Goes Here
Before we claim equal intelligence with whoever made humans, we should make car seeds first as practice and then work our way up to manufacturing (not cloning) a human, but humans have quite a few more parts than the 30,000 average on cars.
We need to build the living cells. We do have another big challenge here though. I guess we cannot build living cells until after we learn how to add life to the correct ingredients.
So after we figure out all the parts in human cells and necessary micro organisms critical to our life, the total sum of parts for a human body is about 37 trillion cells(link).
Unfortunately, we are not yet done figuring out all the parts inside the various types of functioning cells.
I guess we can start with simple car seeds as practice, first.
