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.

Another day at Star Labs (3 weeks before the particle accelerator's explosion... if you don't know what I mean then you should watch The Flash series, for those who watched it, no, this topic wasn't any thing in the original story, it's just me inventing a sort of addition to it :P) is the success for scientist George Janny. He somehow created life, an entire biosphere on Earth in a small square "pool" 7 cm long and wide and 2 μm deep.

He then put cells inside it with special properties: they can eat proteins to move around and gain energy. Proteins were added and also a kind of virus that would be use for the cell's reproduction. The experiment is known as Artificial Globular Anoxic Recreation of Internal Orb (the name is weird and it gives for short AGARIO or Agario or even Agar.io).

The cells act as animals in this tiny biosphere filled with water. The cells can grow by eating. Proteins are considered as "plants" for the cells and other cells are "meat", viruses also being "meat". All cells are omnivorous so they can eat proteins, viruses and other cells. The competition is fierce, even if the cells are one species.

The Pool was taken to Cape Canaveral, 3 days before the explosion, to show the Pool to NASA in the goal that it might help them.

But today, the Pool is located in Antarctica, in a box at room temperature, secured inside an American base 6 km under the surface, secured by strong guards and artillery on the surface, located 2 km away from the geographic south pole.

Till today, the competition is still running, in such that it seems they play game. To know how it feels to be a cell in the Pool, this website will help:

I don't know what did I do there but, oh well.
