fishhhhhhh:

Completely unrelated,  but I wanted to show you these robots. Yes, these are not fish, these are robots – the future is now. 

Not to mention that they’re moving apparently randomly through a three-dimensional space, and not touching each other! That’s impressive.

I was going to post these the other day! Real neat, but I’m not sire what they’d be useful for. I feel like they’d be in the pond of a James Bond movie, as guard fish, equipt with sharp teeth and laser beams.

Honestly I think these are amazing! So many people use fish as decorations, even restaurants. robots would allow those people to have the fish aesthetic but without putting a living creature in bad conditions. I’m really excited to see how they progress, and if realism will be increased or if they’ll branch into other species.

^THAT.

“Pets” for people who can’t care for actual animals for reasons of situation, schedule or disability.

Also, they’re beautiful. I can see them as a work of art, in addition to a “pet” or a fish replacement.

They’re robot fish! Who cares if they’re useful, they’re ROBOT FISH!

Research to application is NOT a straight line. Whether sciences or humanities, researchers must be allowed to follow their curiousity and interests. Discoveries come from exploration and creative thinking.

Also, as nyxypixie points out, ROBOT FISH!

I fully agree, I saw this on my Twitter first and I just lost my shit over the idea of robotic fish! They look awesome! If it is useful, then awesome. If not it is still hella cool!

I actually saw robot fish at the London aquarium a few years ago. It was the coolest thing ever 😀

gosh but like we spent hundreds of years looking up at the stars and wondering “is there anybody out there” and hoping and guessing and imagining

because we as a species were so lonely and we wanted friends so bad, we wanted to meet other species and we wanted to talk to them and we wanted to learn from them and to stop being the only people in the universe

and we started realizing that things were maybe not going so good for us– we got scared that we were going to blow each other up, we got scared that we were going to break our planet permanently, we got scared that in a hundred years we were all going to be dead and gone and even if there were other people out there, we’d never get to meet them

and then

we built robots?

and we gave them names and we gave them brains made out of silicon and we pretended they were people and we told them hey you wanna go exploring, and of course they did, because we had made them in our own image

and maybe in a hundred years we won’t be around any more, maybe yeah the planet will be a mess and we’ll all be dead, and if other people come from the stars we won’t be around to meet them and say hi! how are you! we’re people, too! you’re not alone any more!, maybe we’ll be gone

but we built robots, who have beat-up hulls and metal brains, and who have names; and if the other people come and say, who were these people? what were they like?

the robots can say, when they made us, they called us discovery; they called us curiosity; they called us explorer; they called us spirit. they must have thought that was important.

and they told us to tell you hello.
