Garrulous Glaahk Zaego Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Plot twist: in a few days, on multinational news channels, we can expect to see an exclusive interview with some Erika Redmark, a previously unknown and unsung researcher at MIT...

Seasoned Roamer Bender89 Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 So who is going to get a clone or some glowing algae and meet me in an abandoned West Virginia coal mine? I'm kind of serious with this, the only issue is safety and getting the plants to adhere to the ceiling without the roots causing cave in's. Then we can all live in our own version of exile! * waiting for Jeff's lawyer's letter* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Zaego Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 We'd need to introduce a large species of lizards to the caverns, too. Comodo dragons should do the trick. Hence we'd have giant lizards and dragons in one cast of stone! Being serious though, if you do happen to succeed getting your hands on those plants and in rooting them to a ceiling, I demand pictures. (That is, if it's legal and you don't yourself into trouble.)

Seasoned Roamer Bender89 Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 Guess, I should use a Kentucky coal mine then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Necris Omega Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 " The particles used to get the plants to glow are the same particles used in most medicines, so they’re FDA-approved and safe for humans, although Strano emphasized the fact that he and his team do no intend for the plant-lights to be consumed." ... Still, if this technology ever fully crystallizes, I 100% expect to see glowing salads. Too much marketing potential for "Luminous Diets".

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Glow in the dark pets and babies so you can keep track of where the little things run off to in the dark. ... The Big Bang Theory where Sheldon bred glow in the dark fishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious Artila Lindwyrm Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 There was something similar on kickstarter some time ago: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/antonyevans/glowing-plants-natural-lighting-with-no-electricit But I think unlike the guys from MIT, they never reached their goal.

Luminous eye shadow, perhaps... Heh, didn't think about that at the time. I wonder if they'll ever manage to refine more strains, like red-glowing mushrooms, too.

Seasoned Roamer Bender89 Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 I wonder how long into the digestive tract these plant cells would stay lit? It could be useful in finding holes in small intestines or something. imagine having a walkway lit by mushrooms or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Zaego Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Or a walkway made entirely from lit mushrooms. Now that would be a *trip*... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
