You can, but they end up using crude mechanical methods to do what every member of your race does from birth.
Correct, we humans can't see electromagnetic radiation outside the visible spectrum, but have instruments that "translate" it for us (For example).

I would propose that if science has been unified enough ..., that any technology that follows the laws of physics (...) could be created by any race. it would just require a litte more work for some. organic creatures could be constructed one amino-acid at a time, until you have complex protines and cells. anything that requires a device to operate could be replicated.


Yes, i think this is a very logic idea. The science should be available for all intelligent races, no matter how complex is.

We could have a normal tech tree organic manipulation, but if it had 20x the reserach cost (inherently unfamiliar territory), and had five more levels to work through (racial-tech children start with innate ability) before Organic Armor I, not many would bother.


This is a good idea too. The racial traits could mean some type of aptitude to develop organic/temporal/etc. technology, instead of having exclusive access to it. I think this is better than the actual system.
