Plasma Comes Alive

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the artificial-societies dept.

j_hirny writes "So, it seems that the widely acclaimed theory of how life begun, during hundreds of millions of years is, at least, not the only one which is being researched. As New Scientist report, a physicist managed to create life-alike beings made of plasma. They can replicate, grow and duplicate. They don't have amino-acids or DNA strains, of course, yet they may reveal something new about life's beginnings."

    Did you even read the article?

    If so, did you comprehend it?

    Then you would know why no one has taken any effort to post anything meaningful. You're just seeing the funny-karma-whores and the crapflooders (background noise) who invade every article.

    Face it, CowboyNeal picked a dud. The article was full of hot gas and fanicful speculation.
