"Schrödinger citing the second law of thermodynamics, described his notion of "order based on order." We have now shown using synthetic DNA genomes that when you put new DNA software into the cell the protein robots coded for are produced, changing the cellular phenotype. When you change the DNA software you change the species. This is consistent with Schrödinger's code-script and "an organism's astonishing gift of concentrating a 'stream of order' on itself..." WE CAN DIGITIZE LIFE, and we generate life from the digital world. Just as the ribosome can convert the analogue message in mRNA into a protein robot, it's becoming standard now in the world of science to convert digital code into protein viruses and cells. Scientists send digital code to each other instead of sending genes or proteins. It's faster and cheaper to synthesize a gene than it is to clone it, or even get it by Federal Express." // James Watson: "I want to congratulate Craig on a very BEAUTIFUL lecture." - Adriano

That's some bad sound. - Todd Hoff
