Dog Breath Mints

one of the first things you encounter in thelegend of zelda breath of the wild, is this glowing blue magic water that link is resurrectedfrom. and just after getting out, it turns out that this same water can be used to transferdata to a magic computer! what is magic water? well, the answer is actually kinda simple,yet very complex. it exists in some form today, and will play a major part in our future.

Dog Breath Mints, at first i though nothing odd of this water,link being brought back to life or healed within it just made sense to me. you see similarhealing water chambers in all kinds of other sci-fi media, like star wars. but when youget your sheikah slate and it says “distilling information” that took me by surprise. distilling?what? like how you can distill water? what

does that even mean in this case? and theni saw it drip water onto the tablet and everything made sense immediately! now obviously water in and of itself cannottransfer computer data. but what about distilled water? what does that mean? distilled water is water that has had manyof its impurities removed through distillation. distillation involves boiling the water andthen condensing the steam of boiled water into a clean container. doing this makes itvery clean. pure water. more pure than just passing it through a filter could do. but making the water purely distilled, stillwont allow it to transfer bits and bytes of

data! there is still no way for this to work!unless… we take water out of the equation. perhaps this isnt actually water, at leastnot completely pure water. after all you can distill almost any liquid, this doesn't necessarilyhave to be water. it could very well be a stream of saliva, hehe gross, like that beast(also record dragon) on top of saliva island in shantae and the pirates curse, all thewater on the island is revealed to be its saliva. haha, its ridiculous, too ridiculousfor a zelda game right? ...right?... wrong. any game series with tingle in it cantget any weirder! while not saliva per-sey, this magical blue water may have a biologicalelement to it. it transfers data via dna. dna data transfer has been a thing since thedawn on life, sex is literally transferring

one organism's dna to another. but more recentlythan the dawn of life, scientists built a computer that could actually read and writein dna. after all, computers read code, nothing but 1s and 0s, and dna consists of 4 chemicals,labeled g c a t. so all they had to do is tell the computer to translate those 4 chemicalsinto either 1s or 0s, and then build the machine to write its own dna, and read it back. they saved a photo of their lab, and someword documents containing important speeches, such as i have a dream onto the dna. and sureenough, they were able to transfer it to another machine, and that machine read it back perfectly.and the great thing about dna storage is that it is significantly more challenging to corruptany of the data. you can scratch a disk, or

damage a solid state drive, but dna is microscopicand dense, and its not changing very easily, and even if it did, because dna’s code issaved in a very specific way that never changes, even if a part of it gets damaged, the computercan easily figure out what that part was base on whats around it. also. dna storage is insanely dense. the amount of dnastored in the average adult males pinkie finger alone, could contain the internet. yes. theinternet. the devices we use to store data on our computers currently can only get sodense before it becomes a physical impossibility to become any denser with the same methods.and dna data solves that issue, by being exponentially

more dense than current hard drive technologycould ever be. the sheikah in breath of the wild alreadyhave more advanced technology than our own in some regards. (show lasers for example).so dna data storage for computers isnt so crazy for them. it’s stored in a water likesubstance, billions of copies of the same data, all floating around in these rocks.and when the time comes, it gets distilled. purified. the dna is organized into the dropletat the bottom of the rock, and transferred to the sheikah slate. almost like magic. plus, being the masters of dna that they apparentlyare, they can use a similar liquid to submerge a recently killed link, and revive him. thedna in the water reading his own dna and perfectly

rebuilding him. an admittedly very slow andvery very sci-fi process, but not impossible

for a fantasy world of course. so what do you think? sound plausible? distilleddna data transfer? do you have any theories of your own on any awesome fantasy thingsthat may able to be explained with science? let me know down below. and never stop using your gnoggin.
