17-Year-Old Girl Creates Nanoparticle That Kills Cancer | Geekosystem |

I wish the article went into more details on what the invention meant for cancer treatment, instead of rambling on about her age. |

It's fairly recent (Dec 8th) , so I bet it'll get more into detail later. |

"17-Year-Old Manifests Cancer-Killing Nanoparticle" |
|
Sorry, I'll use less questionable vocabulary next time |
|
It's actually a nano reassembler. It works on cancer cells by rearranging them on a subatomic level into copies of itself. Certainly cancer is now a thing of the past. The only problem is that it also does this indiscriminately to every other known substance. |
|
The first article is kind of annoying. The whole angle seemed to be "you should be ashamed and feel terrible if you achieved any less when you were her age." Mentioning it at the beginning, and then going on to discuss the invention, would be fine. Let the readers feel bad about themselves and praise her age if they choose to. But it didn't really go into what she created at all, like will it actually be able to help people? I have no idea. The writer can't get past the fact that she's 17. |
|
What's the bet she does nothing groundbreaking for the rest of her life? |

The main thing with scientists is having a big ego. |
|
I don't see how that contradicts what I said.... |
|
Science is just used to hopefully find answers, but I think the problem with that is that people are too afraid to take risks that involves screwing up their schemata of life. When a person finds out the truth of something that makes their way of thinking completely utter and useless shit, that's some heavy stuff to suppress. |

I agree completely. |
|
Link, please find out how abiogenesis works so we can settle the case once and for all? |
|
Creating something from nothing huh? That's a tough one. |
|
So is she the Chosen One? |
|
To those who look at the age of the person, yep. |
|
lol this thread is going to get hijacked. |
