Ninites. Tiny little robots in every cell of your body. They would each be capable of rewriting your DNA and replicating cells while holding your conscious mind intact. If there were to much mass they could collectivly transition to Z-space via tiny z-space engines.
Just an idea.
-
Sounds like Borg technology. >_>
-
Well think about it, it's been stated several times that the extra mass ends up in Z-space, how do you think it gets there? That's what gave me the idea, several tiny z-space engines in every cell would theoretically allow that.
My God, I'm an even bigger nerd then I thought...
Should I cheer or cry?

You're better off cheering, being unhappy with who you are will get you nowhere. Rejoice in your nerdiness!
However I do have one question with regards to your theory. It explains where your excess mass goes when you morph small, but where does it come from when you morph big?
-
Nanites zipping to Z-Space, grabbing some mass, and zipping back into real space?

But where does that mass come from? Is there just a bunch of random mass in z-space, waiting to be used?
-
there is no mass in zero-space. there's nothing in zero space. ax mentions that in #18.

That's why they would have to be able replicate cells, to build more mass.
-
Well it's been said they draw mass from Z-Space i think. Z-Space is ntohing as in no space and no matter, but I always thoguht of it as pure energy. I thought they took energy from Z-Space and transformed it into matter (fantastic, I know.)

Yeah, morphing technology, faster than light travel via alternate dimension, disintegration rays and a race of super advanced robots living on Earth for thousands of years are all fine, but creating matter from energy, that's just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ay out there :P

Still, that's a much more down earth explanation. And presumably the nanites can stash the excess mass in z space when you've finished.
Care to hazard a guess as to the reason for the two hour limit?
-
well, it was mentioned that your mind, although in Z-space, has a "bond" between the new body and old body, which explains why something like an ant brain can handle thinking, because the human mind is still intact.
The two hour limit may be something in these bonds, like after 2 Earth hours, the bond disappears forever?
-
doesn't that mean your human consciousness and intelligence is lost as well, leaving only the instinct of the animal you morphed?
-
hmmm... maybe the bond between the minds stays... but the bonds between the bodies don't. Kind of a "you can't call your old body back" thing... :)

He means that your mind would be stored in the nanites.
-
I thought that the nanities would transport them to Z-space?
-
reminds me of METALGEAR
nanotechnology is awesome, great theory. Are the tiny robots passed into your body though the escafil device
-
could be that's what the tingling feeling is. you know how after you recieve the morphing power, you feel a little tingle, could be that's the nanotechnology entering your body.
-
yeah, that could probably it... the only flaw is the power source. Surely, there could be no power source that could power those nanities for a lifetime, let alone a week. Maybe the real morphing power is rechargable?
-

Surly they would have found away to run it off the body. That's why morphing is so exhausting, you're burning off hundreds, maybe thousands of calories to do it. Plus you get to save the world AND stay in shape!

they don't need to morph to stay in shape. all that running and fighting, that's enough exercise for ten lifetimes.

Some reseachers say that nanotechnology, being so small, could theoretically run of of the ambient magnetic field of the planet, or even just the energy of blood being pumped through the body.
How the hell did D come up with this before I did!?
-
The other downside is, If this technology is every created, it should be tested first... on what... animals? Hehehehe... Cassie would disapprove of that.. =P
Otherwise, this thing might actually be feasible, if humans understand finally how Z-space works.
-
I don't think animals would understand how to morph anyway. the cape buffalo in #39 was probably just mimicking. If you use animals to test it, that means nobody else has had the morphing power yet.
-
no, i meant that if the technology would create a new disease, similar to "I am legend". ;D
You know, the nanotech thingy might have a surprising side effect to humans (like growing, a tail blade, hooves, and stalk eyes).

I really liked the theory posed in the Ender's Game series. That there is a UNspace (scary, right?) Where there is nothing but possibilities. They call these "aiua's". They are... Spirits? whose only characteristic is a desire to exist in real space. This is where you actually are right now. Your body is connected to this aiua in the unspace. So you're actually a aiua and your body is your avatar. The 0 to 3rd dimension. Kind of like playing a video game you connect from the 3rd to the 2nd dimension (computer screens are 2d)
I always blended the two different authors descriptions of what seemed like the same thing. So when they morph, the cube breaks into unspace and somehow activates them by sending or displaying a pattern for the aiua's to form and they happily exist.
-
Cool, Early. I was about to post something similar, but you beat me too it. So, I'll follow with developments. Later though. I need to make something up first.
-
When one morphs a large animal, where does the extra mass come from?
-
Z space. They take in materials from Z space to make their big morphs
