It'd be fun to see rockets evolve. Should be possible; we understand the physics involved. Warp drive -- well, if we simulate a universe in which this works, it should be able to evolve. Or teleportation, etc... There was a science fiction story I read years ago which involved plants which had evolved teleportation. This proved so advantageous in spreading their seeds to optimum locations, or having one part of the plant located where it got sun and another part of the same plant located at a good source of water , and so on, that most of the plant life on this fictional planet ended up with some kind of ability to teleport. (If anyone recognizes this story, and knows the title and author, let me know -- I've long forgotten both) Regards, -Martin _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list fonc@vpri.org http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
