    World's first in-vitro beef burger

    I know,this caught me off guard,but this has been in the development stages for a while.



    A quote:

    "World's first in-vitro beef burger
    The meat in the burger has been made by knitting together around 20,000 strands of protein that has been cultured from cattle stem cells in Post's lab."

    I wonder if this will become the "New" thing around the world. Is Star Trek far behind with its replicators?

    Gene Roddenberry was a true visionary. When this 3-D "printing" stuff came around, the ST replicators were the first thing I thought of! I'm sure it's in the works.

      he was a visionary, but actually alot of technology being created today the idea it self has come from star trek, thats been the inspiration to create some of these technologies, we just need to start advancing our cultural, spiritual, and emotional maturity now.

        One thing that constantly pushes my buttons is the "Star Trek was the inspiration for.....".
        The majority of technology often quoted (mobile phones) had precursor technology and research that predated the series (and I say this being a fan of pretty much all sci-fi including Teck ).

        Its like all those terrible new stories where they get "famous scientist" to spout some random sound bite about how Star-Trek influenced them, this then gets spun into "Star-Trek is why we have mobile phones!!11!!" ignoring the years of research and tech that came before the series :P

        Back on topic:
        I have been so suprised at how longs its taken in-vitro flesh to be realised.
        Its such old old old technology, I remember being so excited when we were growing animal tissue in the lab back in the early 90s at college, sure those were just cell masses, but the end game was the same

        Personally I prefer mycoprotein and vat grown proteins as the food solution

          ok fair point maybe not all technology is inspired by star trek but alot of it is. and ill admit most of it was inspired or taken from the space race *as star trek was inspired by the space race)

              3D printing honestly kind of scares me. I mean the things you could print with it that could be dangerous... I see it as a dangerous technology.

              This food making stuff, on the other hand, seems quite helpful. The kind of uses for it are enormous. Part of me wonders even if there's a way to grow, say animal fat or even fat from vegetables as alternative energy sources. That could certainly help ween us off oil if it worked.

                I love Tang. They still make it actually. Its really good with Southern Comfort and Sprite on ice. I discovered that in college. Its one of the few "not really food" foods that I adore.

                  By that logic the most dangerous thing we know is the human mind.
                  Trust is knowing someone or something well enough to have a good idea of their motivations and character, for good or for ill. People often say trust when they mean faith.

                    I think you have hit the nail right on the head Denarius. Mankind is its own worst enemy in many ways. It is sad that a species that can build what we have built seems to have something of an inborn death wish as a species.

                      My father was an AT&T lifer and when Star Trek came out he said we'd have cordless phones, that it was already conceptualized. I think the show helped make the items popular, and increased public demand, if not the act of invention.

                          Bonobos are pretty on the ball regarding this topic, they solve most of their problems by having sex.

                            I think humanity as a collective unconscious wants us all to die but that really has nothing to do with this topic. Personally I think it sounds like a really expensive and overtly complex way to make a burger

                              And the current beef industry standard isn't?
