I think humans are stupid and we think we are intelligent because we have nothing in our category to compare our decision-making processes too. No intelligent species would work so hard to destroy itself
The most likely scenario is that it wouldn’t survive. It would be incompatible with the biochemistry of existing life. For instance, enzymes and proteins are specific to their chirality, so nutrients and biochemical pathways would need to be mirror versions as well. If it somehow adapted to consume our resources than yes it would be dangerous but that is the least likely scenario. 😏
This is very interesting. I'm generally well informed, but I can tell you up to just a few months ago I was completely unaware of how advanced technology had gotten in regards to this, so thank you for your hard work
If every nation could be trusted 1) not to develop WMD, and 2) never to alter the human germ-line, by any means or with any medium whatsoever, then no particular limits seem warranted against research. But at least a dozen nations today simply cannot be trusted to honor a consensus on these ethical frontiers. So such bans are currently incredibly important.
Closer to tenant…the characters couldn’t touch themselves if they were inverted or the world would explode due to their molecules going opposite ways. That’s why the protagonist had that all black suit while fighting himself. If they had touched skin to skin it would’ve exploded. They explained this when explaining how sator rose to power I think.
In theory, wouldn't a "mirror organism" be equally at risk of infection by our pathogens, especially if we have a multi-billion year head start in evolution? Not that I'm eager to put any of it into practice.
Similar to life in mass effect. How could mirror life actually survive if it can't line up with a world designed contrary to it, how could it digest sugars or protein that can't interface with it
Great question! Mirror life would have a tough time surviving in our world because its biochemistry wouldn’t match up with the molecules around it. I still think it's unclear how such organisms would really behave in "the wild".
There is literally no way to use it as a weapon Unless you're talking about a biological weapon capable of destroying all life on Earth, including its creators.
From what I know most trustworthy data indicates that SARS-CoV-2 didn't come from a lab. But you are absolutely right, lab accidents happen and in this case could become catastrophic.
If this is created a mirror life, is it possible to create new life in a earth like planet, where it will grow plants and create oxygen, new living organisms? Basically the beginning of life from earth will happen into the other earth like planet. Billions of years or millions, will it have its own humans or new species of animals?
That would depend on if mirror life's chirality has zero effect on mirror life's interaction with elements or not. If there is some effect the chances of it evolving into animals is very slim, it would be more like "jungles" of fungus-like and plant-like things.
Mirror life isn’t the same as antimatter-great question, though! 🤔 Antimatter is like the opposite of regular matter, with opposite charges (e.g., a positron is like an electron but positively charged). Mirror life, on the other hand, is the idea that life could exist with a reversed chirality in its molecules. Think of it as life that’s built like your reflection in a mirror-same basic structure but flipped! So, antimatter is about particles, and mirror life is about molecular orientation. Hope that clears it up! Thank you very much for comment
Only 20th century fox can answer this question. More specifically Ridley Scott. Regardless of their answer it is necessary to ask the follow up question. Is this cannon
@@theghostofrethsich2813 from what it seems, if it flips everything, how will it digest normal orientation 'food'? it pays a great price to be undetected, a highly limited lifespan
I think the risks of actual mirror life are at this stage hard to justify. The are some interesting applications for novel enzymes and catalysts. It could also lead to the development of enhanced pharmaceuticals. But all of these would be very specific use cases and would not include whole mirror organisms.
If the the elites plans are to depopulate mankind, i'm sure this is a prime solution to their problem, a harmful disease that cannot be detected, traced, or fight back against by your immune system means 100% death rate.
It could be on Mars, or somewhere else in the solar system. Maybe we should find out before we send people there...(Worst case scenario; One of those containers from Mars contains some alien microbe that Earth life has no resistance to...)
Like AI research and development without failsafes and checkpoint inhibition, if mirror life research is permitted the consequences could be on an extinction level event of all life on earth.
Reminds me of that movie with dwayne johnson and gilbert gotfriend southland tales and sean william scott the mirrorman so to speak. I cried after watching that movie and now i dont feel like such a goofball.
If mirror life has the potential to rip through organic beings and ecosystems why couldn't we develop a normal (non-mirror) organism that would destroy mirror life?
Yes, I think at this stage creation of viable mirror microbes, like bacteria, is already pretty advanced and hard to do. But in the future.. who knows.
Despite the risks, which are plausible, there could be interesting applications for medicine (Mirror proteins might resist breakdown by normal enzymes, which could increase the halflife and activity of medical drugs in the body). Also for Biotech: Mirror enzymes could process chemicals regular ones can’t. And possibly and a bit more far fetched in Astrobiology: Studying mirror life helps us imagine alien biochemistries! 👽
Seriously, the loss of ability to convert L-Serine to D-Serine is one of the drivers on Dementia. Half the human brain is mirror life already. Mirror life is already all around us.
mRNA isn’t mirror life-it’s basically just a type of molecule our cells use to make proteins. Mirror life would need all its biochemistry flipped, not just one molecule!
What do you think? Should research on mirror microbes be stopped or do you think the benefits of such research could outweigh the risks?
I think humans are stupid and we think we are intelligent because we have nothing in our category to compare our decision-making processes too. No intelligent species would work so hard to destroy itself

Of course someone like me could make it dangerous but it would at that point be intentional. 🤟🏻👽
According to religious fanatics all scientific research should be stopped. 😂
With each passing year, I feel I understand more and more why the Universe isn't full of interstellar civilizations...
Why?
Because they will kill their self

But could we use mirrored bacteriophage viruses to control mirror bacteria population?
Kurtzgesagts?
And another virus to kill that one?
They'll kill our immune system either way
Yes but that may take longer to develop than how long it takes to terminally spread
@@pablodm9 bacteriophage viruses Only affect their targeted host bacteria
I told the guy in the mirror he failed at life.
So this is basically the Netflix movie Annihilation,..?
fr i'm glad someone remembered this movie.
You is getting too creative, my dude. 😎

Good point!
I agree, but if there's an organism that develops defense, like a bacteria that evolves/adapts much quicker than humans, then we're doomed
well no if the made scientist make it busted to
The problem with thalidomide babies was that it was a synthetic mirror molecule of an existing biological one ... if I recall correctly.

@InfectiousInsightsYT I think the movie evolution would probably be the most likely outcome, in reference to what kind of environment it would need.
On a serious note I have NO doubt labs around the world are working on developing and weaponizing this technology.
The first question when new tech arises that's the first thing the elites ask themselves, how can we weaponise this
Government funded
There is literally no way to use it as a weapon
Unless you're talking about a biological weapon capable of destroying all life on Earth, including its creators.
mirror-covid anyone?
This comments hits so hard 😅
Laugh now but the Creator is very angry and judgement is upon mankind.
2019 proved that our bio labs are completely safe and nothing ever escapes the lab
From what I know most trustworthy data indicates that SARS-CoV-2 didn't come from a lab. But you are absolutely right, lab accidents happen and in this case could become catastrophic.
Why are they suddenly talking about it?
I am not entirely sure, but I think it's because of that Science article that was published recently www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ads9158
"Mirror Life: Return of the Lockdown".

However mirror life are going to compete with everything we see ours with zero cooperation
So interesting brother!
Thank you!
Is this thing deadly?
it gives you mirror powers
Yeah but it really cant survive outside a petri dish lol where is it getting all the reverse nutrients
As above, so below?
Could mirror life make grey goo?
Uranus can make grey

What are its benefits or probable benefits for humanity to justify the risk ?

Good for food production maybe but bad for natural ecosystem
Do you want a death stranding!? Because this is how you get a death stranding.
This sounds like what happened to all the humans in “Stray”.
So zombies 🧟, basically?
Realistically at best it will create competition for some microbes. We won't see mirror humans or anything all that complex.
Can also create bio weapons. I think that’s their biggest issue. You release a mirrored weapon into the world and its game over.
Yes, I think at this stage creation of viable mirror microbes, like bacteria, is already pretty advanced and hard to do. But in the future.. who knows.
Even if it was possible why a "mirror human" would be dangerous xd?

Why u also took a bbc up Uranus ?
Remember when that guy basically made genetically modified twins a few years ago and he immediately dissapeared within 48 hours? we should do that.
meanwhile people on reddit are just in denial saying 'it's fine'
It’s bc they are anti-science and believe propaganda.
Thank you I saw this on TikTok n confused asf
thanks for watching! 🙏
He’s good looking!.!.
Seems like a great way to bi-pass the immune system if building nano technology inside of the body is the goal.
Don’t look now 👀
What exactly is the potential application of these mirror researches, why did they create them in the first place?
Despite the risks, which are plausible, there could be interesting applications for medicine (Mirror proteins might resist breakdown by normal enzymes, which could increase the halflife and activity of medical drugs in the body).

I wish people would stop playing God!
If we did not play god we wouldnt have gotten here in the first place its not about playing god but putting people who have morals in places of power
Mirror life is good because it can be sentient and not hold secrets like the colonizer dna expression, thats why you're scarred.
