This Is MIT’s Jurassic Park-Inspired Project

They did get to the end of that story, right?

The scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, that they never stopped to ask if they should finish watching the movie

And has data integrity for a few hours, if no mechanism to constantly repair them (almost correctly) exist.

I hint at ribosomes RNA polymerase here.

My, i'm getting old. I meant RNA polymerase.

This was my thought. DNA isn’t stable so it’s a lousy storage medium. Degrades over time, mutations in living organisms, etc.

Just be careful you don’t store the cup on earth, else it would have to contain itself.

henfredemars ,

Technically speaking, can’t any impact with the ground be considered an earthquake?

That's fine as long as it can self reference.

I'm less worried about it containing itself, and more worried about what the two girls holding the cup want to do with it.
