Living Cells and Computers have this in Common
Imagine you have a computer with different files storing all kinds of information-text, pictures, music, and more. Now, think about how these files can be stored on various devices like floppy disks, CDs, or USB drives. Over time, some older storage methods become outdated and can't be read on newer computers.
Now, just like computers store information, living cells also handle information-but in a very special way. All living cells, no matter what kind of living thing they belong to, store their important genetic information in a molecule called DNA. It's like each cell has its own built-in library, containing all the instructions needed for life.
Here's the fascinating part: this DNA is made up of a specific set of building blocks, sort of like how computer data is made up of 1s and 0s. In DNA, these building blocks are called A, T, C, and G (they're like the DNA's alphabet). These blocks are strung together in a long, twisty structure, kind of like a very tiny, complicated necklace.
Now, the amazing thing about DNA is that it's universal across all living things. You can take a piece of DNA from a human cell and put it into a bacterial cell, or vice versa, and the information will still make sense to the receiving cell. It's like swapping a memory stick between two different computers and being able to understand the data.
Scientists have developed ways to read and understand this DNA code. They can decipher the entire sequence of these building blocks in a DNA molecule, which can be incredibly long-millions of these building blocks long! By reading this sequence, scientists can figure out what makes each living thing unique and how it works.
So, even though living cells and computers are very different, they both share this amazing ability to store and process information in their own special way.
Have a great day

Nuclear fission is a process, in which an atom's nucleus splits into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a significant amount of energy in the process. A heavy atom's nucleus, such as that of uranium-235, or plutonium-239, is commonly bombarded with neutrons to achieve this. A nucleus that has taken in a neutron, becomes unstable, and quickly breaks apart into two smaller nuclei, known as fis...

Simple explanation we are talking about our souls
I can’t wait to try it 🫧
So clear! So awesome! Other videos left me confused! Now I get it! Thanks so much!
Wind resistance not speed of light right?
thanks i get answer
Sir I am Indian and 12th class but I understand ur language and all concepts one by one and I am don't understand any other english movie study etc 😊
I think there's an obvious question not being asked. What is the universal definition of "Created" and "Destroyed" we're using here for the Law of Conservation of Energy? For example, let's assume there are multiple universes out there or that it's possible to leave this universe. If it were possible and I decided to leave this universe, is the matter and energy that I'm made up of now technically "destroyed"? It no longer exists in this universe. If I step back into the universe and bring a rock(or whatever) from outside the universe, is matter then being created by me because matter that never existed in this universe now does? I'm pretty certain there's nothing that says our universe's rule sets apply anywhere but our universe. So explain how matter or energy is not being "created" or "destroyed" in this instance? It's a thought experiment. I don't expect a "right answer". Nor am I sure that leaving this universe or there being multiple universes is even a thing. If the law of conservation of energy is an actual rule of this universe, would it prevent us or anything from leaving or coming in?
I had already learned this in a class last year but I needed a refresher badly and this did the trick. The explanations for each step were very clear 👍
What makes us a closed system though? Aren't we a part of the grand cosmos and beyond? Isn't all energy connected? Yeah feel that one out..
maybe..but how did E know that energy released from mass required the mass to be multiplied by the speed of light squared?
why is gravity always depicted as a flat sheet with objects pushing down on it? gravity has to be three dimensional. there are no sheets that objects press on. having said that I appreciate your clear description of relativity, the best I have found so far.
Can you please explain how a reactor that uses energy to achieve e=mc2 nets MORE energy than that needed to accelerate a mass to the speed of light?
Very well done! Now I FINALLY understand e=mc2 (beyond the obvious formula) and it's impact on physics and technology. Thank you!!
How dare you say it will help the poor!! The poor don't need that amount of electricity!!! They just need a safe planet to love their children, their families, their friends.. their community.. their country.. the world.. and the universe ✨️ 🙏 nuclear power was never nessersery!!! We can generate electricity so simply without the need for any gracious projects just to fund those who have been educated in nuclear fusion.. we have to stop educating too many humans with jobs that aren't needed.. in order to prevent them from wanting money from unneeded endeavours.
That was very clear, and its 58 years since was last in a school , Thanks 😊
Very interesting, if dark matter cant be found, then perhaps the "Steady state" theory of the origins of the universe may be accepted as correct after all 😊
Excellent (my garage follows this rule 😊) as well .👍
I knew everything in the video. I want to know what the number (7.07) means in the data if we are not comparing. No value was off by 7.07.
Thank you. Thumb's upped it. Just curious, how is this so useful, couldn't someone just kind of look at those numbers and see they are more spread out? Thank you!
So in theory a time chamber be made
I get it now. Thank you! this video is clear and straight forward. It is a good idea to add to it what is meant by a small and large SD compared to the mean. I understand that an SD less than 10-15% of the mean is often considered small, while greater than 25-30% of the mean is considered large. A small SD compared to the mean indicates the data tends to cluster around the mean (measure of central tendency), while a large SD compared to the mean means the data is more dispersed away from the mean.
Thank you so much for such a clear explanation
Thank you for explaining why they get squared! Best video on this topic
Thank you really helpful video!

This is the most simple understansable explanation i've heard ..thanks 😊...
so it can be created and destroyed we are just in a large prison... now who created the system? yes. that's who.
Who created the creator? Now we're back to square one.
@@charlesdonahue3667 that's like saying "well who created your parents since you think you came from parents? Ha! Got you". Small brain logic. Point is there's a creator. We can work backwards from there.
@@mikem4481 What??? Okay I'm going to engage you for a minute and give you the benefit of the doubt in hopes that you're trying to understand and aren't just an ignoramus as your comments would lead people to believe. Obviously one's parents can be traced back to their parents and so forth. There is empirical evidence to support that. Science has taught us that energy cannot be created or destroyed and that all life is a form of energy. Therefore it's reasonable to conclude that energy is eternal with no beginning or end. However, the concept of a supreme being as a creator makes no sense scientifically because then the next logical question would be, where did the creator come from? A question that can only be answered by blind faith and superstition. Take a few days and ruminate on that before you come back with some knee-jerk stupidity.
It is a description, not an explanation!
And superposition 🤔
Where do the thermal and light energy from a wood fire go after the fire is extinguished? Where does the energy from a full tank of gasoline go when you've run the engine long enough to empty the tank? That energy I got from eating a Snickers candy bar in 1988; where is it now? It's funny that something that "can not be created or destroyed" has to be constantly produced (which, in common-speak, means the same thing as "created") because if you stop producing it, it's gone (which, in common-speak, means the same thing as "destroyed"). For example, stop burning e.g., wood, coal, oil, gas in your house during the winter and your house is going to get very cold, because that heat energy will soon be gone from your house. And if you use, e.g., candles for light, when you stop producing light because the candles have been fully consumed, your house goes dark because that light energy is gone.
Energy is not destroyed. You seem to be confusing "destroyed" with "utilized." The fact that one doesn't have the ability to utilize energy does not mean that the energy is lost.
@@charlesdonahue3667 "Energy is not destroyed." Thank you, Captain Obvious. "You seem to be confusing "destroyed" with "utilized."" I haven't confused anything. You simply need to attend a remedial reading class, emphasis on reading comprehension. "The fact that one doesn't have the ability to utilize energy does not mean that the energy is lost." You don't know where it goes, do you?

Excellent observation and comment!
Hi Craig that is a very succinct and clear explanation. Thank you for your effort. When attending a chocka full Uni class where you just have to keep up with the pace- regardless, something is bound not to gel at the time. It’s great to have a simple explanation to do in your own time. Taking it to basic level as compared to a person with a phd , who for them this is probably rather basic… their ability just to keep it straight forward can sometimes not transpose… and you can get stumped and stuck. Your report card shows you have good potential 😊

yes...this is because we exist in a bubble...there are 2 things outside the bubble....1. pre big bang. 2. Post Big Bang. We dont know anything about either of those...but we have to answer the question....Was the Big Bang an explosion? If so, all explosions in our bubble are Created....so based on what we know...the big bang was created by something.
Some in the comment said, the fact that energy is present means it had a beginning. Not necessarily because the one who suppliers that energy doesn't have a beginning or an end. Quite possibly energy is not the only thing like that.
how do you know the supplier isn't outside the 'system'? which he would have to be...
@@mikem4481 If there is a supplier outside of the system then the supplier would need to have a creator. So it then becomes an endless chicken and egg loop. Most likely the universe is an eternal source of energy that was never created and will never be destroyed, with all element constantly changing form.

Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allāh, Lord of the worlds. Translation interpretation 7:54 quran
