    What do you think? Should research on mirror microbes be stopped or do you think the benefits of such research could outweigh the risks?

      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. 😏

    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.

    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.

      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.

    Is mirror life the same as anti-matter?

    • @InfectiousInsightsYT
      @InfectiousInsightsYT  26 днів тому +11

      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

      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! 👽
