MIGHTY CONFLUENCE. "The physical and computational world will merge." https://lnkd.in/dHbJvdK View in LinkedIn

DIGITAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. “As the age of the digital nervous system dawns, Grok represents the type of technology that will convert massive data flows into value.” (From Numenta, by PalmPilot co-founder Jeff Hawkins). Watch this space. https://lnkd.in/erRbqPk View in LinkedIn

BACTERIA have been reprogramming living hosts for millions of years. We are simply catch up with these Masters of the Universe. View in LinkedIn

MITOCHONDRIA are the powerhouses of the animal cell, without which we would not be alive. They originated from ancient bacteria, as did chloroplasts, which are the powerhouses of plants. Now we have a view in mitichondria as very sophisticated machines. Ancient bacteria thus control the most key biochemistry in almost all living things on this planet. No small achievement.

MITOCHONDRIA REPROGRAMMED animal cells to control a wide array of critical functions, including energy production, cell death, cell signalling, inate immunity and others. As ancient symbiotic bacteria living within animal and plant cells, these clever organisms have learned to reprogram all life on this planet except viruses, which are curious in themselves. https://lnkd.in/epSmiFg View in LinkedIn

MITOCHONDRIA CONTROL cellular life and death. "Thus, with a relatively small number of proteins, mitochondria operate as highly specialized cellular sentinels that continuously monitor the conditions of the cell to finely adapt its metabolic activity, to coordinate adaptive responses to stress, and to decide on its final and inexorable fate. Not bad for an intracellular bug." https://lnkd.in/eVa9pAM View in LinkedIn

CELLULAR POWERHOUSES LIKE ELECTRICAL DEVICES. "Mitochondria have a lot in common with electrical devices that use electricity and magnetic fields to generate energy. In essence, mitichondria are 'quantized heat pumps' that drives life energy needs. https://lnkd.in/eqUST_2 View in LinkedIn

IT'S ALL ABOUT ELECTRONS. "All food is broken down into electrons that enter electron chain transport. At each cytochrome protons are pushed out of these cytochrome channels." This sort of engine sounds like something we can engineer ourselves. Perhaps. https://lnkd.in/eqUST_2 View in LinkedIn

PROTON TUNNELING. "Cytochrome c oxidase pumps more than 10(3) protons per second. This is a much higher rate than protons can be supplied to the proton conducting channels of the cytochromes via the bulk diffusion rate that biochemistry believes drives this pump. They are driven by proton tunneling." http://www.jackkruse.com/tensegrity-9-magnetic-mitochondria-memory-creates-coherence/ View in LinkedIn
