Guest countchocula Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Scientists are engineering bacteria that can solve mathematical equations. I thought it was pretty IDM. http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/blog/2009/jul/24/bacteria-computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest joshier Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I don't understand how this works, however whilst reading I thought that if this is possible, then instead of using computer processing power to work out computers working on cures for cancer, it would be these. kind of turning nature against itself for our benefit.

Dr Clitterhaus Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Not exactly an original concept there. But I bet you thought you were the new Philip K. Dick there for a moment. Christ joshier, you are such a loser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Clitterhaus Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Anyone can see this works by allowing the bacteria to develop naturally. The equations are solved by nature's will. Think Pi. They should have come up with something like this years ago. It was staring them straight in the face yet no-one thought to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
