Seed , perfect tool to spread life


kobolds

Recommended Posts

Recently I realize that seed is a perfect tool to spread life through universe .

properly stored seed can last for thousands years and genetic stored in seed is unchanged . once it detect environment that support life, it will start growing.

small size , you can piggy back it on asteroid.

 

with so many pros reason , you starting to think, is seed natural created or design by someone in order to spread life through out universe ?

 

one day , even if we have space ship that can travel at FTL speed,  travel from one galaxy to another will still take thousands years and cold sleep will not able to last that long .  don't you think the best method to send human to another galaxy  is seed ?

By the time you got a seed anywhere near somewhere it could grow, stray cosmic rays and what not would have decayed its dna (and the rest of it as well) to something useless.   You seem to have a pitiable view of how really far apart stars are.

I think that would depend on how we package it up. Or even if the device carrying it buried itself deep inside the asteroid. Plus the problem with seeds isn't decaying there dna, it's just decay. You'd need something hardier, something that'll probably have to be genetically engineer to be a primer for life to grow and develop. Even as a terraforming agent. Some kind of plant and/or microbial life form. 

If for instance we made it to europa and found no life whatsoever under the ice. We could then if the conditions were acceptable seed the planet. Starting small and then who knows what might evolve.
