I’m busy writing a sci-fi book where due to space ships being treated as airplanes in the sense of ‘squeeze as many folks on board with as little room required as possible’, has lead to processors being used on board to generate food. How do the processors work? Idk.
I’m fooling around with the idea of using atom rearranging from space dust, only problem is, I can’t find the atomic particle of say, wheat, and other foodstuff. Are different plants/veggies/fruits (say, a apple vs a grape, or a apple vs rice) similar or different on the atomic level? Does the TYpE of plant the food grows from change the atomic stuff of the food, or just what the food grows on?
I’m gonna yeet this at NASA, cuz surely someone there has had a similar idea, or is knowledgeable on atomic stuff in general to know what a apple or a grain of wheat is on the atomic level. And science side of tumblr, just for the heck of it.
