I don't think we have their DNA

>>4149821
Dinosaur uterus to grow the DNA in.

>>4149833
You're a special kind of stupid.

>>4149833

Could we not substitute a modified pig uterus?

>>4149823

We do, we don't have any usable dna though, but it's possible if we found a female mosquito that had just fed a shit ton on a dinosaur before immediately being encased in amber.

>>4149846
But what if we do, and they start breeding? We want to be able to control them.

>>4149854
I think this could be lucrative business. I'm thinking dinosaur-based theme park.

the only way is to reverse engineer one from a chicken or similar bird.

>>4149860
Don't be stupid. They'd all just escape and wreck havoc in the cities.

we have found frozen mammoths and cant clone them, so i doubt we will ever clone a dinosaur

>>4149860

Just cos' we haven't got their DNA

>implying we're not all travelling through time

I've been thinking about this recently too. Indeed, we don't have good dinosaur DNA. Even in rare cases where tissue is found, it's completely useless. Damn entropy. There are however a few ways to REcreate dinosaurs. Our best chances is to start off with their descendants, the birds. Look up chickenosaurus, the first steps are being taken. We can never recreate the original dinosaurs, but by knowing the code of DNA, and playing with it, we can approach their shape. I long for a time where we can write DNA as if it were computer code. But as for now, that just seems science fiction.

>>4149973
You are stupid.

>implying we can't already create dinosaurs

we probably can, I reccoment watching a short sieries called "animal farm" about genetic engineering and what how we're changing animals

>>4149981
Let me take a moment to try and ascertain a glimpse of your infinite wisdom. Such philosophical gems as "You are stupid" need to be documented. Please, tell me more.

>>4149994
Time isn't real therefore time travel is impossible.

>>4149973
>implying sun "rises" and "sets"

No.
"First, a suitable surrogate mother animal is required. For a dinosaur this would need to be the best biological fit, probably a bird but now the size difference may preclude gestation to term.

As if there are intact cells found they have been 'stored' frozen. However, if we think back to what actually happened to the animal - it died, even if from the cold, the cells in the body would have taken some time to freeze. This time lag would allow for breakdown of the cells, which normally happens when any animal dies. Then the carcass would freeze. So it is unlikely that the cells would be viable,"

You're time travelling at every moment. Going forward through the 4th dimension.

>implying i didn't mean in reference to inhabitants of earth, do I have to spoon feed every word? I'll try "orbit of the earth around" sun instead. You can't get all picky with that one.

>You're time travelling at every moment. Going forward through the 4th dimension.

>>4149867

You're right man.. Maybe if we made it on some sort of exotic isolated island, then they couldn't escape right! And we could get more money from people paying to be flown in to the island park.

>implying orbitting the sun implies any sort of time

>>4150033
You might just be on to something.

>>4150033
Yeah. I think some big-ass electric fences would prevent anything from ever going wrong there, ever.

>>4149943
Time has nothing to do with social groups but with perception you dumb fuck.

stay strong ignorant /sci/fags

THIS JUST IN!

Cloning in humans seems to be more efficient when leaving the nucleus of the host cell instead of removing the nucleus to put the DNA (or fertilized egg) that we wanted.

Three copies of genes though. Might be a problem.
