Organic Ships?

reply to post by Arbitrageur


Well heres the thing. We know life as a certain format here on earth, and we dont have any expirience of the possibilities that the galaxy or even the wider universe may contain.This means that A)Our frame of reference may be limited to the point where science denies that which it cannot examine B)On the other hand, it also means that we get to theorise about how such a beastie might be possible. Something occurs to me just this moment. Perhaps such a beast wouldnt actualy eat what you and I would recognise as food? Perhaps it would gain its mineral requirements from consuming asteroids, or perhaps they would hibernate in orbit of a sun every decade or so in order to nourish themselves. Dont forget , just as much as too much sun gives us cancer here on earth, you can get some nasty diseases from vitamin D deficiency, and vitamin D comes from sunlight... so maybe its a solar powered lifeform? In actual fact the possibilities are endless!...
There is nothing to disprove the idea that life could evolve in space. We havent proven that there is no such thing as a vacuum breather. Its highly unlikely but its a fascinating concept . Perhaps these things are born in nebula, therefore never have to leave an atmosphere. I mean we are talking hypothetical exobiology here... its pretty bizzare, and its basicaly invent a critter on the fly I just dont hold to the current thinking which goes " if we aint seen it, it aint happened" .

Its the proving one of these things really exists that would be hard Fun thought excersize though

Perhaps the ship-species would also have a symbiotic relationship with the humanoids when it comes to procreation also.

They might rely on us to mate (test tube babies?), rear and train their young - and even launch them into orbit once they hit puberty where they are further trained by the older adults who have retired from the fleet.


Of course, the whole ship need not be biological to enjoy some of the benefits that the encorporation of biological components might bring. They could even be bred to use our waste.

I´ve read a book.
The Swarm: A Novel Of The Deep - by Frank Schätzing

Absolute amazing writing IMO.

He actualy has done a lot of research for his book and he based his story on existing true scientific reality.
It tells about another speccies on earth.

I 100 % recommend it ! it !

Edit.
In a way this other species makes use of organic ships. ( with a little twist of course.)

I will have to have a look at that at some point. Love to hear some thoughts on the possible nature of a hypothetical space dweller if anyone has any ! ?

I can see it now...

lol.

How would an organic Alien craft survive in an non-gaseous vaccum like space, and then an gaseous rich one like on Earth, or would they have a "bubble-shield" for one or the other?

Interesting eh?

Brilliant, i love people who think out side the box like you, i really have know intrest for things we allready know and understand scientifically!

This is the reason i give you a star & flag

As you said tho we probly will never know, but going on wot information we have at hand and available to us, from a well documented case/evidence, id have to say the same as others, diffrent species seem to have difftrent crafts maybe because they have diffrent needs and ways of thinking, i mean a cat wouldnt be comfortable sitting in a dog basket would it

sometimes the answers are that simple,

my guess would be a bioship would be some form of living, intelligent, AI Bio & self aware created by the greys for abduction perposes only maybe thats how there bodys survive in that sort of environment day in day out aswell,

thats utter mind boggling technologys at work there tho, artificial Bio Mechanical ship/craft, with selfaware AI controling, artificial gravity & anti gravity propultion systems,

Well going back to the example of whales, they might survive the spaces between stars by method of absorbing any mineral source they encounter along the way. Yes its true that space is a non gaseous environment, but its not true to say that there is NOTHING in space. Its pretty cluttered up with junk and debris , certainly when talking about the space within a star system. If a being of such a size could consume enough energy to propel it from one star to another , perhaps such a being would travel a certain distance, say to the next nearest star system and then scoop up minerals from as I said, asteroids, or motes of space dust, or solar throw off?
If as we were saying they are ship beasts, then perhaps its not required for them to have the ability to land themselves or interact with an atmosphere. It may be that whatever race has inhabited the beast, would launch its own constructs to the planet in order to visit.

Some types of ufo certainly do seem like life forms. The ufo orbs when viewed close up are not like metallic but of some other substance, they spin and rotate and there is a almost heart beat coming from the centre like a plasma ball when touched. The ones seen in my avatar are actually clustering together into groups and maybe these clusters when seen from the sky are what people are actually believing to be ships with their supposed coloured lights? Look into the ships of light. These may also be the same thing. After one mass sighting of a group of ufo orbs one of these ships of light buzzed us four times, it was radiant white light and didn't look to have any sharp angles or parts on it, it was just a mass of white light that may have been organic

Could be possible, the ship might get it's energy via radiation like fungi do. That's the only thing i can think of. But like someone said the energy needed to travel such vast distances would be huge and naturalr adiation in space wouldn't be enough i imagine.

I believe everything in the universe is "organic". Our bodies are vessels from traveling through "space". Nanotechnology. If snails can be programmed to build silicone shells, then it should be possible to create giant biological factories to build spacecraft components out of other elements. In fact, if you understand the universe and how it operates, you will see that such an idea is completely plausible, and even highly likely, albeit outside of the scope of our human understanding and technology.
