That's right I'm questioning Stacker II here
Mother Nature has had more than 3 billion years of trial-and-error experiments to come up with the best way to build a cell, the best way to store energy, the best way to make bones and muscles, the best way to send signals to the brain, and the best way to make a brain. I don't think we're gonna improve on that in a few years.

If Stacker II could actually speed up metabolism, it would have to speed up or find shortcuts for every one of the thousands of molecular steps in metabolism. Every change would have side affects, and they would probably be bad, not good.

Example: you got a pool table, cue ball, and a "set-up" for a trick shot involving 8 other pool balls. Hit the cue ball at the right speed, and all 8 pool balls go in the pockets. Let's say it takes 4.0 seconds for all the balls to drop.

Now, can you do the same shot in 2.0 seconds? No. Hitting the cue ball twice as hard is NOT going to make all the other balls merely go twice as fast to their pockets. It will also change the angles they travel, the amount of spin they carry, and their timing when they cross each other's paths. The shot will get totally screwed up. Balls that weren't supposed to touch, now glance off each other. Balls now have too much or too little spin to make the right bounces off the cushions. You'll be lucky if any of them drop.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
