| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous. Join our community today! |

that is to say, break an atom apart, then again, then again, and you will reach a point where you cannot divide further. The level where everything is composed of packets of information. Irrationals are conceptual numbers which have no end. See? |

Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea. "It is the old wound my king. It has never healed." | |

So, the universe is irrational, and thus - science, or evolution, which is related to the concept of finding new things, is irrational as well. |

I'll talk about cladistics, though, admittedly, my taxonomic preference is Linnean. |

Nah, the universe itself isn't irrational, but some concepts that could be thought to be infinite are. ![]() Shall we address that?

The two systems, Linnaean and Cladistics- Canis prefers the first. |

The point of the 'Spec Ev 101' is to help people realize what is possible and plausible, and thus reduce the chances of them delving into the impossible As I bet 9 times out of 10, those impossibilities are the results of ignorance to certain facts, mostly brought on by lack of research and just not knowing where to start.

don't Blink. Blink and you're Dead. Don't turn your Back. don't Look Away, and Don't blink. Good luck He never raised his voice. That was the worst thing - the fury of a Time Lord - and then we discovered why. Why this Doctor, who had fought with Gods and Demons, why he had run away from us and hidden. He was being kind. ![]() | |

Yep! So, any terms you guys would like me to cover specifically? I've got some very basics down, but I'd like some input on terminology you guys want defined, explained, and examplified. |
