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.

The main things that I would be curious to know about (if it was real of course) would be the role of the heart and lungs. For example, OSCAR doesn't seem to have a respiratory orifice, nor does it appear to have a way of connecting the heart's 'blood' to the brain for it to power the brain. Does this mean the brain and body sections are powered independently?

Because it mentions OSCAR seeking an optimum temperature, I'm assuming this would insinuate that OSCAR would hypothetical undertake other biological reactions in future models.
I think you're putting too much thought into this. It's not an actually working thing, it just moves automatically. The lung's and heart's only function is to make the whole thing look organic.
I mean, this is a forum dedicated to non-existent things.
I guess, but I do believe it's futile to think about how something works that is not even intended to be believable.
That's kind of what worldbuilding is, though, isn't it?
Dumb Quotes


Coming Soon/To be Rebooted:

How To Hunt Gods - Everything you need to know about Gods and the art of God-killing.

Intrazoology - The world of semi-corporeal lifeforms. A world you walk through every day, without even knowing it.

The Dungeonverse - Magical creatures forced to adapt in huge, underground caverns, while surface-dwelling humans go dungeoneering for treasure.

Crossover - A mish-mash of worlds, with Earth smack in the middle of the chaos. What could go wrong?

no worries

No, it's not.

Heh, try telling that to The Xenologist. Or take The Library. We're speculating on how life could evolve in an infinite library, and only life that could make it through from libraries on our end, at that. Clearly a different dimension that's made up of an infinite library, where time runs faster, and that connects in some ways to our own worlds, is a useless thing to speculate about, right?
totally not British, b-baka!
