If it were proven possible, there'd be a lot of nervous farm boys.

Cicero, most of these things require lots of money. Gotta pay for labs, chemicals, graduate students to assist, big heavy egg splitting machines, etc. It's not like these people sneak off into their garage and separate strands of DNA by the light of an old grease lantern, using a chisel and bread board.

Anytime there's that much money going out to a research program, there are people with clipboards standing around watching how it gets used.

Yabut, aren't those clipboards being held by graduate students and lab assistants who's jobs, nay, whole professional futures, are in the hands Dr Evil?

Good point. People with a lot of money have the time, and sometimes the know-how, to do whatever in the hell they want.
Sadly enough, I am not one of them. I would have already tried to replicate Einstein, minus the chisel, possibly slate.


And there is always Dr. Evil. Good point xo!

Picture Dr Evil saying, "Hold my beer and watch this shit".
