Well, I was searching to see if this was already made, but the searches didn't show a thread with my idea so here it is. I am making this thread so we can have a typical tavern discussion thread for all things science! Basically, a thread for everything science! Ranging from discussions about laws and theories, scientific debate, breakthroughs, discussion about new scientific breakthroughs, certain scientists/philosophers, and all that good stuff! So go out there and let out your inner science! ;P To get us going somewhere I'll start: what do you think the future holds for technology? I think our knowledge will allow us to overcome the obstacles thrown at us in the future, I mean, we have discovered so much and have come so far!
But these are tree dwellers, remember? They will be fighting in a tree. If one gets knocked out of the tree, the boned one will suffer much greater injury and a likely death.

Not necessarily, the tougher skeleton could protect the internal organ better. From wht we have seen of skeletal evolution is they become tougher on land to provide better structural support compensating fort he support that had living in the water.
This isn't soft collagen, it is more structured and supportive and integrates ribbing and bracing. The body cavities will be filled with a webwork of structural connections and bracings.
We can till talk about DNA I just brought this up so we had something to talk about while we waited for Dragonblaze's question to be answered.
What about gravitation? do trees help with that too?
No not really, that would be a draw back to moving to another planet. Though on a space colony we could produce gravity through centrifugal force by rotating the entire structure.
What about gravitation? do trees help with that too?
Absolutely not. Gravity originates from a rotating object. Theoretically, all things have at least some sort of gravitational force, moving or not, big or small. Of course gravity is completely theoretical and there is very little evidence outside our solar system to prove it.
Venus has an atmosphere of mainly CO2. If we seeded it with O2 producing extremophiles...
Terraforming Venus? I will have to look into that possibility more.
Absolutely not. Gravity originates from a rotating object.
We see more gravity as the result of mass.
Of course gravity is completely theoretical and there is very little evidence outside our solar system to prove it.
Gravity is also a law. And we have plenty of evidence outside of our solar system of effects from gravity. For example the wobble of stars that are used to detect extrasolar planets is the result of gravitational forces.

Maybe I should clarify myself. Eh... Not now, I can't figure out a way at the moment and I'm starved.
