To answer the second question, the Central Dogma is interested in permanent changes at each stage, so the proteins can change the way DNA is expressed, but it cannot change the DNA…

Not directly, but in a very long round about way they do. Like if I have a mutation that is evolutionarily positive, the only way that helps me pass on my DNA is through the expres…

Yeah, I don't think they read the whole article. 'while it's true they almost certainly do not "corrupt your DNA"' I second this

Here is an argument against the CD. We know that DNA changes overtime due indirectly from environmental conditions through evolutionary natural selection. So, why is this not an ar…

the article argues that prions do not facilitate the flow of information in the same way the Dogma states. They simply change the way the protein is folded, but not the amino acids…

I think the idea is that this different codon sequence "may" be able to be used by the biological organism in a as yet to be discovered way. So, it wouldn't be useful in producing …

what Crick means, I believe, is that since multiple codons can code for a single amino acid the information or entropy in that set of codons is larger than the information transfer…

This version makes more sense to me. When the halting problem was first explained to me in school the professor didn't get into what it actually meant in terms of computability, ju…

Probably not, there is not much on Mars, specifically water and nitrogen availability and other minerals, organic materials like amino acids in the soil, and lack of a root microbi…

I think the ether can be seen as a very primitive form of quantum field theory. It's like Newton attempting to do alchemy by turning lead into gold. We later find out that it is po…

I think they should give it to Boeing
