      Of course Steven Spielberg had a go at this, and that didn’t work out too well…..

      The science in Jurassic Park is quite plausible. We can do more or less everything proposed in the film. But there is one big problem. In the film they took dinosaur blood that had been eaten by a mosquito and captured in amber. That is OK, but the DNA that they used from the dinosaur blood simply won’t survive in the real world. If you don’t have dinosaur DNA, you can’t make them.
