What invention or idea will bear your name some day?

XD well, I hope a book series or two, that counts as an idea, right? And a few movies, too. They all are ideas! Counts as inventions(in a way)

yes yes! what will your first book be about?

Well, the first one is a novella, I'm a few thousand words away, it's about a city where there are people who have no senses besides one, which is love. I think it'll be a fresh perspective, and it's been really fun to write.

Very cool ( :

I'm in the same league as Pirate_melon_ I guess... I am a writer too, and I hope my name will eventually get famous for that. I'm writing fantasy novels and I already set up an entire saga. Would be cool if everybody who see my name will think "Hey, that's the guy who wrote The Phantasar Chronicles".... :)

that would be very cool. who are your favorite fantasy or sci-fi writers?

George Martin and J.K. Rowling.... And although I appreciate him more as a world builder than as a writer I do also look at Tolkien, but then more for the standards he set to world building than as a story writer. And yeah, I can say all three influenced me as a writer. I really must find my novels from Elisabeth Haydn though (the Rhapsody trilogy), as they are in my house somewhere, but I never got the time to finish them. I am also pretty fond of Richard and Wendy Pini, although their work are comics, yet they too have inspired me on some fronts.

have you read the original Foundation trilogy by Asimov?

Never heard of that, to be honest. Reading always takes a lot out of me, so I don't read very much, but I'm trying to do that more often.... Also to get more out of myself. I will look that up, though.

you really must. Asimov was a chemist as well as a writer, and Foundation was written while he was still very young.

I'm interested in the intersection between electricity and medical science.

When bones break, about 10% of the time there is what's called nonunion or delayed union, where the bone doesn't heal on it's own, or healing takes longer than usual.

There are medical devices called "bone generators" that stimulate the healing process in those cases with electricity or ultrasound. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2762251/

Bones have a physical property called piezoelectricity, where a force applied (and the corresponding bending) generates an electric field. That phenomena is reverseable, as an applied electric field generates mechanical displacement.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectricity

Bone generators for broken bones will have two electrodes across the break or apply ultrasound on the break.

In healthy adults, bone is constantly being remodeled in a process called https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_remodeling

In unhealthy adults, the balance of bone remodeling is skewed and bone loss exceeds bone growth.

I believe the bone growth during bone remodeling in healthy adults is electrically mediated.

In the absence of the bone growth stimulus that normally occurs in active adults (i.e. exercise), my invention is a wearable bone conditioner, sort of like a suit that stimulates bone growth. People with osteoporosis could preserve or even rebuild bone density.

I like that. I'm excited about any medical idea that helps to shift us away from drug-based therapies. Electrically-based therapies are hugely underexplored and I hope you're successful in your work. What do you think about a device that can interfere with the function of specific enzymes through vibrational sympathy? For example, matching the vibrational frequencies of hiv virus or covid to basically shake them apart inside infected cells (I mean break them down from their organized forms) and so disrupt proliferation in a host? Imagining a patient reclining in such a vibrational disruptor tuned to specific frequencies of target molecules or viral protein coats for a few days while their antibodies clean out the inactivated pieces. Shaped like an MRI machine.

Enzymes have a folded protein / tertiary structure. I think they are a whole different animal from bone in terms of the influence from an electric field.

Every object size and shape has a harmonic frequency or frequencies (Tacoma Narrows). I don't know much about cellular biology but I think cell membranes are "soft" and viruses are "hard" shelled.

Selectively breaking apart extracellular viruses with vibration would be elegant, I think the trick would be leaving cells (and any viruses inside the cell) alone.

Idk. I cant see the future! But I do want my name to be known lol. My books or maybe even movies. Either as an actress or a director or even the storywriter. I do want to be known tho lol

yes! why not!

Lol thanks! It prob won't happen tho

well the people who get there are the ones who decide to make it happen. just decide that that's your goal, then get going on what's needed ( :

Yeah I guess. But it isn't exactly something I can major in when I get to college

sure it is.

dual major in writing and theater arts

Idk if the colleges im going to will have that. We'll see, I still have time but thanks!

*shrugs* I have no idea. Let's hope it's not a disease, my surname's quite a mouthful, after all. Most Polish surnames are.

perhaps it will be a cure or a vaccine.

Maybe

Well, I really like to cook and have invented a few dishes but I don't usually name things after me. 🤔 But maybe someday someone will say they're making something inspired by me. 🤷

Me too, but I haven't invented any dishes. You might be surprised at how far you'll go!

Well... I might. But I might just as well not. Not everyone will be remembered and I am completely fine with being forgotten. I focus more on the here and now. All I want is to be happy and to not make people more unhappy than they make me. 😉 We'll just have to wait and see what happens. 😊

ok. we all have one of the best computers on the planet (the brain). the sky's the limit.

I doubt it'll be an invention but I'd like to be known for some pre-existing ideas that I believe in

ok, so you're saying you will be a champion of those ideas?

yea

nice!

Unfortunately for me, having the name John, there have already been a few things with my name

The toilet was named after me, a male prostitute seeker was named after me, long underwear [long johns] were named after me, and unclaimed dead bodies were named after me [John Doe]

i guess it could be worse. you could have been named after them.

Whatever the frick this thing is.

a noble dream?

a charger dragon like creature.

ah okay

Well my name is used pretty often in music, so I guess id stick with that.

something wholesome i hope...?

Atty that's my (insert however many greats here) uncle

I mean ayyyy

cool ( :

I dunno about an invention, but plenty of comics and drawings will bear my name.

Nice. D9 you put any of your drawings in your memes?

Do

POTUS

Excellent ( :

Well, I am Republican but not one of those edgy ones who think whites are superior (I'm actually Hispanic), or women are weak. I've already been studying politics (mostly conservative, I plan to look into liberal or left). I may choose a woman as a VP but I really want the best choice. I'm going to try to be the best president I can be, in character, and politically. Of course, in politics, people will criticize you for everything you do. One of my policies I'm planning to do is ban abortion nationally. I will have to present evidence that abortion is inhumane. I might present videos, pictures, and testimonies. Other policies is converting the customary system into the metric system nationally, in schools, in trade and commerce. Everywhere.

Agree mostly. I can't think of any policy that has gotten 100 percent approval from all citizens. Even something as innocuous as the metric system will get pushback from somebody. So, as a citizen of this sort-of-great nation, the semi-United States of America, let me suggest to you, gently, as future POTUS that you will govern all the people, and it would be nice if policies could steer away from inflexibly contested Republican vs. Democrat positions and instead reasonably consider all opinions and aim for flexible, best solutions. For example, I don't feel it's a President's job (or a party's job, or Congress' job, or a Governor's job, etc.) to decide personal things like whether abortion is right/legal or wrong/illegal. My own opinion on abortion has changed over the years, and if we see it as a right vs. wrong kind of thing, there will simply be an eternal process of reversal of policy as the administration changes hands between Democrat and Republican parties. Could you please get us to a mode of government that minimizes polarization and where the standard approach to solving problems is peaceful, thoughtful considerations?

Yes, I will. I hate all the hate just because of what party you support or what party you're on. I've experienced backlash when I state I'm a conservative or Republican. An example of bipartisan hate is the rejection of a GOP bill on police reform. The reason Democrats rejected the bill was because the GOP was presenting it. Its come to that. Rejecting a police reform bill (both parties support police reform) just because of who is presenting it. They're interested in political gain, rather in the welfare of citizens

well I haven't read about that bill, so I don't know how to judge its reception/rejection right now. I will point out that the current hate/hate relationship is very much a two-way street. the GOP rejected almost all of Obama's proposals for eight years, and not because they weren't intelligent proposals. that sort of thing is going to play out naturally in reverse when the Republicans take the reins.

True.
