DNA and Death

Francis Crick died DNA Man

What is an important sidebar is the inspiration and influence that was instilled into Francis Crick and James Watson by Erwin Schrödinger. Erwin gave a series of lectures at Trinity College in 1943 that were later incorporated into a small but very important book called 'What is Life'. In that book he purposed an 'aperiodic crystal' as a sort of discrete block or code of life (he used the word ‘chromosome fiber’) that is repeated but not duplicated exactly.

The thread of inspiration and thought that leads to discovery in science is often very interesting and not at all a trivial matter.

There are, possibly, some back wood ramblers and other nonentities that would disagree with the above statement.

But no one with that kind of trivial character posts on this forum. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
