Nearly exponential development of computer technologies (processing and data storage capacity) can be very helpful in better appreciation of Nature.

Everything that exists is described by numbers. Information about all life forms on our planet (viruses, bacteria, animals and plants) is encoded biologically in DNA. Human life starts as nearly invisible egg (penetrated by sperm), yet at the very moment of conception, all information about the unfolding human form is already there, encoded in DNA.

The following sequence of events seems to lead to one of the biggest scientific breakthroughs in the history of mankind.

Rewritable memory encoded into DNA

Researchers have encoded a form of rewritable memory into DNA.

The arduous work involved in building the system is
