  Mar 27 2012: You can never be to optimistic. I believe that the only limits you have is the limits you make for yourself. There is always a way to advance in everything.

  A comment on Conversation: Why do you think cloning in plants is stable(tissue cultured) but not consistent in animals?

  Mar 25 2012: I would suspect it is either due to the fact that the animal DNA structure is much more complex than DNA of a plant or that a animal clone's metabolism is rate is burn energy at a rate that burn it's life much faster. Well that's my guess, this really isn't the type of science I but my I'll give it a second look and see what i come up with.

• A comment on Conversation: Can every third planet revolving round it's start in every galaxy have life?

  Mar 24 2012: The planet's ability to sustain life is all relative to the distance from a star and the size of the said planet coupled with the size, radiation, temperature, and type of star if i remember correctly. So the position in the line of planets of a solar system could have an impact in the ability to sustain life but it would not be the first variable i would look for in the quest to find life in space. If there was a solar system with very similar characteristics as ours it would be very probably that we could find life there, but that being said the formation of solar system and galaxies are like random number generators giving you a random outcome for every solar system in which there are millions a single galaxy so find that one solar system with the same make up as ours is difficult at best.
