Life inside a cell

09/27/2006 10:29 AM

Harvard has put together a great video of the inner working of a cell. Most of it is over my head, but it is stunning to watch.

The little walking stick thing is a kinesin, hard to imagine there a billions of these things active inside of me.

Anyone else know what any of the other processes are?

It is great to know something about the secrete of your own bio system. However, this is a very complex field far beyond million parallel supper computer and information in each cell is more than storage capacity of the largest building.

If you really want to know about cell then it may take a lot of reading and I will say that keep looking at the magazine The Nature, where lots of information is given in simple form. Even for most experienced bio-scientists, this is no simple task and millions of them keep hunting for seretes of the cell. If you know about the cell, then you know everything about yourself, your past and your future and total human life system, its evolution and its possible end.

If you do not know much and some information looks pretty to you then keep watching fiction movie. They give you insite beyond reality.
