The discoveries in genetics are making it possible to create cancer vaccines and artificial lifeforms and explore the origins of life.

The new virus renews our understanding of the origin of life.

This virus can be the key to solving questions when eukaryotic bacteria are born. The first bacteria that were born on Earth were prokaryotes. They had no nucleus. Then some kind of mutation made the nucleus in those cells. The nucleus protects the DNA against electromagnetic radiation. And that thing was a fundamental advantage.

The order of born of life:

1) First-born organisms were prokaryotic cells. The very first cells got their energy from the volcanic heat. For being real cells. Those primitive cells required mitochondria and cell organelles that made the membrane for those cells. In history, mitochondria have been independent organisms.

Today mitochondria live in symbiosis with all cells with an internal power source. The cell is delivering sugars to mitochondria that are giving energy to it.

2) Then born viruses. The viruses might advance from the DNA bites of those prokaryotes. Some people think that viruses were unsuccessfully split bacteria. They had protein-membrane and DNA (or RNA) but no other cell organelles.

3) The viruses connected their genome to the prokaryote. And that thing made it possible to make eukaryotes. Cells with a nucleus, cell organelles, and cell membrane.

There is suspicion or hypothesis. That some viruses slip into the prokaryotic bacteria. Then that virus connected the DNA (or RNA) of that bacteria to itself. The eukaryote required two genomes. The first is how to make a cell membrane. And how to make a nucleus structure in the cell. The cell must also have cell organelles that are giving energy to it and make the protein membrane for the cell. That kind of ability is very interesting because it opens new roads in genetic engineering.

Cancer vaccines

Cancer vaccines are vaccines whose principle is the same as other vaccines. The idea is that the immune system detects cancer cells and destroys them. The customized cancer vaccines made separately for each individual are easy to make by using the person's tumor cells. Or if the person would not have a tumor the person's cells can turn into cancer cells by using radioactive stress.

Then developers must kill those cells and separate the membrane proteins from the cells. And then those proteins will just inject into the person. That thing makes it possible to create a preventing cure for cancer. And that thing might save many lives and save lots of money. The cancer vaccines are the thing that can be very revolutionary.

Artificial cells can use to give genome therapy.

Biotechnology allows to making of artificial cells. Those cells can use in bio or nanotechnology. If the artificial bacteria can change the genomes from the cells. That thing can use to give genome therapy. The idea is that the bacteria will destroy the genome of targeted cells. And then bacteria can inject another DNA into the cell.

This is one version of how the new biotechnology can bring fundamental things to our life. If we are thinking about the controlled evolution there is the possibility that in the future. Researchers are transferring the genome that allows some mammals to live in the desert without water to humans. That thing makes it possible to make humans that must not drink so often.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments. Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape. We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures. The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time? Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger. The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers. "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions. And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object. Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
