The image on the left shows the brains of pigs that were untreated for 10 hours after death, with neurons appearing as green, astrocytes as red and cell nuclei as blue. The image on the right shows cells in the same area of brains that, four hours after death, were hooked up to a system that the Yale University researchers call BrainEx. Stefano G. Daniele and Zvonimir Vrselja, Sestan Laboratory, Yale School of Medicine

They already outperform the brains of an average dummpcrap.

They consistently beat a0c at checkers.

The brains of dead pigs have been somewhat revived by scientists hours after the animals were killed in a slaughterhouse...

...And the democrat party immediately registered them to vote in 2020.

"Scientists Restore Some Function In The Brains Of Dead Pigs"

Lets see them do that with live pigs.

Kickass! Zombie pigs are good but I think we can do better.

Let's see. Most real world processes are controlled by non-linear differential equations which are hyper-sensitive to initial conditions. These sorts of problems have no closed form solution, only numerical solutions based on initial conditions. Even a variation of initial conditions in the 100th decimal place can cause wildly divergent results.

How do these "scientists" know their initial conditions are correct? If I were a crooked "scientist" I would fudge the initial conditions until I got the desired outcome. It's easy because the changes to the data need to be ever so slight.

Furthermore, why don't they use their talents to predict the winner of the next years Superbowl. Surely such a problem is far less intractable than worldwide climate phenomena

"If it's a dead animal, it's not subject to any research protections because you wouldn't expect that it would suffer from any pain or distress or need to be thought about in terms of humane care," Farahany says. But if that animal's brain can be even partially revived, she asks, then "what do we need to do immediately, today, in order to ensure that there's adequate protections in place for animal research subjects?"

"Once a human dies and their tissue is in a laboratory, there are many fewer restrictions on what can be done," Grady says. "It is interesting to think about this issue in light of this experiment."

I smell baby snatchers.

If they start using up all the pigs heads from the slaughter houses, then the supply of tamales will decrease.

Once that begins, prices for your tamale meal will be priced out reach.

This is the Tamale Cartel's plan for driving up the price.

No pig heads, No tamales.
