Believe it or not: research indicates that even humans photosynthesize following ingestion of chlorophyll by eating greens as the body is partly transparent to light, but the energy produced is negligible.

That means we can take the good parts of something, add it to our biological selfs to cure illnesses or protect from illnesses. Amazing, the elite will live forever one day. Using the words thieves is a bit strong, there adapting, surviving there surroundings, no wonder we got out of there ????❤

Odd question: is the human skin transparent enough such that green people could photosynthesize ? Fascinating topic.

Has anyone tried injecting chloroplasts into a vertebrate animal cell? Inquiring minds need to know…I could increase my sun time and reduce the need for ingesting food.????

i mean while the scifi implications are perhaps sciency fantasy more than anything with the rigorous potential to be questioned into actual problem-solvable reality, this does raise the interesting possibility for a really practical reason behind the idea that any ETs might most often be in the category of “little green men” …if you can cut out most (to all) of the food chain entirely and go straight to living off of starlight, space travel itself becomes an entirely different animal
