Spiders!

Spider silk is a very important and incredible material of nature. It can help cure Alzheimer's because it's structure resembles the structure of the amyloid fibrils in the brain of a person with Alzheimer's. This allows scientists to understand better how Alzheimer works and they may be able to create a solution. Spider silk is stronger than steel and yet it is still very light. This reminds me of Spider-Man and the web shooters he used in the Amazing Spider-man. The webs he use are extremely strong and flexible like spider silk. It made me think, what if someone used real spider silk and made web shooters from them? Possibly a real
Spider-Man? Although I don't think we have the technology to make these, I think that it is a really cool idea that will be beneficial to the world. Although the web shooters from Spider-Man were used to fight crime, I think spider silk can used for other things as well. You may be able to use them to create strong and flexible objects. And also to satisfy all Spider-Man fans, a way to swing around New York City. Although it is only an idea right now, it may become more than just an idea in the future.
