Yesterday I saw this amazing documentary The Miracle of Love about the creation of human life. Although I’ve seen it several times before, it still astonishes me. How can a bunch of cells know how to build a human being? It’s incredible how a couple of stem cells just start constructing us. Some cells start making rhythmic movements, which later on build a heart. Some build the eyes and other cells are programmed to die, like the ones in our hands to create a space between our fingers.

The whole process is carefully planned in the blueprints of our DNA. In point of fact every detail of a new life.

Imagine how much information the DNA contains. I can’t understand how some microscopic twirled threads can contain so much information. It made me think of binary code. Just as the cells can read instructions from the DNA, a computer can read instructions from machine code. But I still wonder how a computer can know what millions of zeros and ones mean?

What if the future machine code would look like DNA? It certainly seems weird, but you never know what will happen next.
