WHY CANT Man with RADIOACTIVE EXPOSURE become a super hero??

tatehill2000 · Nov 29, 2005

HBO showed the Chernobyl melt down ,,,, its sooo dam sad,,, but aas im watching this,,Im thinking to myself,,, why didnt anyone Morph into a super hero??? where are all the MIND READERS??? WTF???

why is it only Destruction comes from radioactive contact?? why not "IMPROVEMENTS??"

I guess I really dont want an answer,,, I am jsut curious why in NATURE the REVERSE doesnt EVER occur??

serious answers would be appreciated,,, lol but not expected,,,lol

I think that World's Ugliest Dog who died recently had major exposure to Chernobyl, so I guess it was good for something

Its called ENTROPY. I pasted the link from dictionary.com

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=entropy

Definition #4 is what you're looking for - and, to some extent, #5 too.

I think it needs to get through a generation or two to theoreticly be possible. As in Xmen these mutations are allways a hinder to the individual until it is understood. If this is possible.. we will find out in 20 -30 years.

It would be cool to find something good out of something as terrible as that.

i thought I rememberd some scuentist describing OUR OWN evolution in the phrase,,, Punctuated Evolution,,, I guess my thoughts are,,, also,,, why, when put to SUCH an Extreme scenario can something wonderful and Amazing NOT come from this tragedy??

why would there be no Punctuated Evolution in this Traumatic scenario???? why all Tumors,,, all Cancer,,, all retardation,,,, body deformities,,,

why no perfection? increased Brain function,,, Telekenesys,,, HIgher IQ's???

oh well,,,
and no I havent cracked a beer open yet,,, maybe I should,,, lol

Why? Because radiation is bad!!

Same reason crack heads don't have wonderful things happening to them. :coke:

tatehill2000 · Nov 29, 2005

ok... KORN,,, I loosely buy that arguement,,, theoretically the comparison is similar,,, but,,, agian,, the PROPEGANDA weve BEEN brainwashed with is whats Takeing over here,,,

tatehill2000 · Nov 29, 2005

MAYBE with Repeated EXPOSURE,,,, the MOTHERS MOTHERS MOTHER can complete the circuit,,,, Like you siad SURE GUY,,, and make the X MEN happen,,,,

hmm,,, maybe,,,

We can change Eye color,,, we can change FAT to skinny, we can change Bald to hairy,, this is all with the Gene spliceing,,,

can we also change small ROD to large?? DUMB to SMART???

OLD to young,,,

ok,,, I will shut up,,,

good night,,, Im drunk,,,

Sure, it could happen, and probably will, but what you have to realize is that genetic mutation due to radiation is a nearly random phenomenon. Just like genetic mutation due to evolution is a series of random mutations over the course of billions of billions of trials, if you had billions and billions of genetic mutations following exposure to radioactivity, you may find people with super human powers

But because, say only a few thousand or a few hundred thousand genetic mutations caused by exposure to radiation have occured, the odds are stacked against it as of now

Get yourself a million or 100 million more spills of radioactive material and the ensuing exposure to radiation and genetic mutation, maybe 1 person will indeed develop superpowers

Just hasn't happened yet...unlike eye color, etc which requires the manipulation of 1 or 5 or 10 genes, in order to give someone super powers you'd theoretically have to change most of their basic genetic structure, which involves hundreds of thousands of mutations, all in a way just such that it results in X ray vision or whatever

Analogous to the saying...an infinite number of monkeys bashing on an infinite number of typewriters will eventually bash out every work of Shakespeare, in order, if given infinite time to do so...

ck,,, the Monkey comparison is frickin GENIUS,,, lol,, I have never heard that phrased before,, lol,,, very sharp,,

thanks for the words,,,

Thanks to the Internet, we now know that isn't true.

Fixed!

Tater, you been hitting the pipe tonight? What in the hell are you talking about? :lolBIG:

i wanted to laugh when i 1st read this tater..but then it occured to me that we had a nuclear meltdown at 3 mile island in 1979.shortly after that larry bird,magic johnson and isiah thomas entered the nba. hmmm..coincidence? after chernobyl the world got dennis rodman and terrell owens.take the good with the bad i guess. i think joe montana sprung from the 3 mile island thing too...:bbsmile:

Magic Johnson and Isaih Thomas were real.

Larry Bird was DEFINATELY genetically changed.

We all know white guys can't normally be studs in the NBA!!

Larry Bird without radiation enhancement = Luc Longley in a smaller man's body.

i beg to differ

of course this is accurate...even an event whose probability is infinitely close to ZERO (as the probability of monkeys typing out the entire works of Shakespeare certainly is) reaches 100% if given an infinite number of trials

please tell me how this logic is incorrect...

perhaps even more mind-boggling is that, in fact, my original statement is redundant. An INFINITE number of monkeys, bashing at typewriters, would type out the entire works of Shakespeare instantly, as soon as they started. Wrap your head around that one :howdy:

http://user.tninet.se/~ecf599g/aardasnails/java/Monkey/webpages/index.html#results

check that website out...you can see the results for your own eyes! certainly no entire work of shakespeare has been created by this program, but up to 30 letters of Shakespeare have been written, out of a RANDOM sequence, several times in the say, few years that this program has been running

now imagine running it for the rest of eternity...surely eventually you would get the entire text of Henry IV, or the entire library of Shakespeare, or an exact replica of every word ever written by every human being, ever

Of course your simulation is correct. My comment was a joke meant as a commentary of all the lame-brained people we have met in cyberspace.
