Can it be real? Has anyone tried?

Could Jurassic Park ever really happen? How much of what you saw in Jurassic Park can be considered real? Discuss all of that and more here...

When all is said and done and the world is empty how much does it really matter the amount of money you had or what car you drove?

i read that article in it, it is said that it is possible to create something which looks more like a dinosaur by altering the DNA of a bird.

At this point, the common ancestor of the deinonychosaurs.

The only way we can achieve this scientific possibility is through completely designing the genetic codes from scratch, and developing animals based on the structure of these codes from that, which is very hard to succeed in at the moment. But, maybe we should all consider Ian Malcolm's words:

"You were so preoccupied on whether you could or not, you never thought if you should.

I never think about whether or not I should do something I just do it.

in the jpinstitute website it is said that some scientists are planning to clone mammoth.if this is possible then why can't dinosaurs be cloned

Because unless I'm mistaken, mammoths were still around until only a few hundred thousand years ago. Dinosaurs died out long, long, long before that. If I may demonstrate...

-->Present day.
-->approx. 50,000 years ago, mammoths still lived on Earth

-->approx. 65 million years ago, the last dinosaurs went extinct



As you can see, mammoths are still relatively recent enough that it's possible to find trace amounts of their DNA in fossils. Not to mention frozen mammoth corpses are scattered about the Poles. Dinosaurs however, died out far too long ago for any workable DNA to be extracted.

Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in Thy sight. I shall purify all with a single blow. Mine enemies stand before mine eyes. Who shall mourn for Division XIII? Who shall mourn for the [i]Vatican[/i]?"
