    Sorry, they don't make do-it-yourself kits.

    Yeah they do, most humans come with a functioning reproductive organ that produces a different set of genes when paired with another reproductive organ, feel free to experiment at your own risk.

    That cylinder in the center compartment on the right side is a spinthariscope. It enables you to actually see atoms as they break down if you take it into a dark room and hold it up right against your naked eye for about 30 minutes.

    It's a real wonder Gilbert didn't kill us all.

    This is already possible but has been banned for supposedly ethical issues although it is not inconceivable that ethics are just a smoke screen to cover the fact that the procedure is being reserved for the wealthy. I am of course talking about cloning both entire individuals and cloning body parts.

    I think you saw that in a movie a few years ago.

    Nope cloning has already been proven as possible many times over. It is only " ethics " that stops it from being made acceptable but the truly rich have always found ways around laws that prohibit actions they want to take. Remember the old days when abortions were illegal. Well the rich had them anyway, they just went overseas.

    I know how you can change your genes to live longer, exercise. Expression of your genes is not written in stone. Exercise and diet can change how your genes are expressed.
    Exercise and diet does not change your genetic blueprint but it can alter the expression of your genes. Diet and exercise can change how a gene is expressed mainly through methylation.

    In methylation, clusters of atoms called methyl groups attach to the outside of a gene and make the gene more or less able to receive and respond to biochemical signals from the body altering the types of proteins a particular gene will express.

    I’ll give you an example. Heart muscle is subject to two kinds of stress, physiological stress (i.e. exercise) and pathological stress(i.e. disease) and the heart has two potential responses to either stress, cardiac hypertrophy which is normal adaptive growth or cardiac remodeling, which is an abnormal pathological maladaptive growth. Upon being subjected to either stress the heart chooses to turn on one response and turn off the other. If the cells in the heart have chosen the abnormal path, remodeling, exercise can reverse this choice by turning off remodeling and turning on hypertrophy The mechanism for reversing this choice is mir-222, a myokine which exercise up regulates. Myokines are a type of cytokine and cytokines are things released by cells that tell other cells what to do.

    Exercise and diet can change how your genes are expressed

    It also occurs to me that if you have this in a mint condition and still in the original box it might now be worth enough to buy a real Cloud chamber which is what I think the glass thinigie is.
