Now you can see why DNA is also very interesting for scientists doing engineering on a molecular scale: it copies itself, can move itself and creates all kinds of things. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_nanotechnology" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Better to check out what it is that erects your scaffolding!

to be honest, I agree with you...Bhikkhu Pesala wrote:Better to check out what it is that erects your scaffolding!
But it's fascinating to see just what some of our skandas are made up of... and really, if some seek miracles, they need never seek or extend beyond who they are....
I merely posted it to give some insight into just what makes us (physically) tick....
interesting that so many inroads have been made into being able to see "how we work" and yet, still the finest inner details of Mind, flummox even the most advanced head doctors.....!

Funny how one can discover such nice sutta's by reading a seemingly unrelated thread
