Its code is based on only 1's & 0's. |
|
If we change the order or number of 1's & 0's,
we can change the code from writing a letter,
|
 |
 |
to burning music on a CD, |
| to sending an email to your mom. |
 |
Consider this.
Your computer's code is based on only on 2 numbers
(1's & 0's).
Your genetic code is based on 4
letters (A's, T's, G's, & C's).
If the entire code for your processor can only be 3
billion units long,
which will give you more combinations? 3
billion 1's & 0's
or 3 billion A's, T's, G's, &
C's?
You do the math!
