Compelling, yet the mystery remains.
Which means there's still more to come!

Fascinating! A fine big piece of the Great Puzzle for us to play with!

Ah that explains everything!
well not really, but you must be proud that they are Canadian!

It's always fascinating to study such things.  The complexities are so great and man's knowledge is increasing every day and multiplying so rapidly just like the Bible predicted so many moons ago.

Nautikos
I would like to ask Steinberg if he ever heard of God and Israel and stuff like that. I wonder how come his scientific mind didn't think maybe God re-arranges stuff? LOL

Such finely detailed research’s life consuming itself in terms of time and effort. However it proves itself interesting for the databank of humans. BCA, Bill*s Cae

Reminds me of the science of snowflakes; Another good reason to study snowflakes is to better understand structure formation and self-assembly. Humans usually make a thing by starting with a block of material and carving from it.  Computers, for example, are made by patterning intricate circuits on silicon wafers.
   Nature uses a completely different approach to manufacturing. In nature, things simply assemble themselves. Cells grow and divide, forming complex organisms. Even extremely sophisticated computers (such as your brain) arise from self-assembly.  Your DNA does not contain nearly enough information to guide the placement of every cell in your body.  Most of that structure simply arises spontaneously as you grow, following poorly understood rules.  Biological self-assembly is an 
extremely complex process, and we do not understand much about how it works at a fundamental level.
