We can gene edit, but we dont do it in humans for ethical concerns
just like we can technically clone people, we dont for ethical reasons

What are the most convincing arguments both for and against the existence of an allmighty God?
Special pleading.
My first guess would be Fresnel diffraction, I guess because of the pattern
I wonder if it's a polarization effect. Look at it with polarized sunglasses on.
Moiré?
Amusing that this too involves an apple.
A swole apple with a yoyo.
I'll look it up
That's moire.
Literally: wavy visual pattern that happens when two different grid or line layers overlap, when a camera films a fine design, or in a special rippled fabric.
Incorrect, but I'm giving you the upvote for the lyrical answer
Pretty sure it's the prism effect.
This happens with any layered glass with a change in refractive index, cause by a layer of plastic or glue. You can see this on car windows at the right angle because they are layered glass and plastic.
Moire patterns do not cause a prism effect with light.
I think you'll like A Deepness in the Dark by Vernor Vinge. Published in 1999, and predominately features such technology.
Read the title….
CDs and DVDs have rainbow reflections because the “parallel” (parallel on the scale of the wavelength of light) rows of pits create a diffraction grating.
The rings in the picture are Newton’s Rings, as pointed out in comments. There are a different set of rings for each wavelength of light and since they don’t all line up you get this rainbow effect.
Not a direct answer to your question but the same effect can be used to measure extremely flat objects. Its a pretty cool rabbit hole.
I don't know what it's called, but I can tell you it's caused by air being trapped underneath the screen protector. Whoever put it on didn't know to start in the middle and apply pressure outward so you can wipe bubbles toward the edge to remove them.
Or, they were doing a hundred of them and knew they wouldn't have to look at any of them again, so they just threw it on there as fast as they could.
I think youre bang on with the Newtons Rings, thanks!
It's not moire...
These are Newtons rings, a different type of optical interference pattern.
It occurs when two transparent sources reflect light in contact.
You get it frequently when trying to scan transparencies using a flatbed scanner too.
Here: Newtons Rings Wikipedia
It's called moiré, a form of interference pattern: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moir%C3%A9_pattern
Edit: not moirè, but rather a form of diffraction grating interference because of the minute differences in distance between the two surfaces.
It is also the why DVDs and CDs have rainbow reflections.
When a grid's misaligned with another behinnd, that's a moiré
The meaning of PERQUISITE is a privilege, gain, or profit incidental to regular salary or wages; especially : one expected or promised.
Did you mean prerequisite?
Regardless, not everything is bound by mortality. Or even decay, if you generalize to nonliving things. A rock will remain a rock, unless acted upon by an outside force. But at most scales, everything is experiencing the movement of energy around the universe from the original big bang, and at different scales you see this energy move in cycles, like plants and animals being born and dying, or a comet orbiting through the solar system.
Entropy. The second law of thermodynamics. Things naturally change from a more-ordered state into a less-ordered state.
Energy is required to reverse this process. All the processes you describe are putting things into a more-ordered state and thus, require energy in some form.
