Strange Attractors by Chaotic Atmospheres

The darkest art known as Chaos Theory is perfectly embodied in the form of its strange attractors: vast looping trajectories of variables that, when plotted, conjure gorgeous yet insidiously disruptive patterns. Chaotic Atmosphere’s Math: Rules series pays tribute to the beautiful form of chaos and its inevitable collapse of all our efforts to predict it.

jtotheizzoe: infinity-imagined: A Ribosome is composed of two subunits, made RNA chains and proteins bound on its outside.  The molecular movements of this complex provide a very specific catalyst for the creation of amino-acid polymers.   These biological nanomachines are the 3D printers of the cell, producing thousands of different proteins. Ahh, the mighty ribosome. A biological machine comprised of an elaborate conglomeration of intricately-folded proteins and RNAs, none capable of building anything on its own, but together creating nature’s most advanced piece of chemical machinery. It’s a fascinating chicken-and-egg problem written in nucleic and amino acids, a thing that has to exist in order to make itself (although we have some good theories about that chicken-and-egg problem). It’s also a thing that has to exist to make any of us, the translator of the genetic code, taking the instructions for life and assembling the things that do stuff inside of all of life. When I look at this, I see the incredible beauty of evolution written in chemistry. I don’t doubt that such an intricate biological engine could come to be made, or in fact make itself, through evolution. We can rejoice in knowing that in our biology, a fine Swiss watch can be built from lesser watches. What was once a sundial can become a Rolex, because in keeping a better time it can create an even finer copy of itself. That’s a pretty cool thought. It also looks pretty.
