Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies :: the old biomass oddity returns a hundred times stupider

[quote name="a scientist"]<b>Alien</b>- Alien baby grows grows from fetus to the size of a very large man impossibly fast within a day. A rate not possible by even bacteria under ideal growth conditions. While you can suspend your disbelief for the rate of grow, where did the alien get all that extra biomass? Maaaaaybe it raided the kitchen or storage off camera? <b>Prometheus</b>- Alien baby grows from a single cell to fetus within a day. A rate not remotely possible by anything. This is done without any visible detriment to the host mother, who should have been eaten alive and sucked dry. After being born prematurely and knocked out by future disinfectant, it grows from baby to the size of a rhino within hours inside a sterile operating room. John Carpenter's <i>The Thing</i> had more realistic biology.[/quote]
