“DNA is a universal software code. From bacteria to humans, the basic instructions for life are written in the same language.” - San Francisco Chronicle History and technical informationDNA was founded by Francis Crick and James D. Watson, Crick being the Nobel Prize winner for modern genetics was under the influence of LSD while discovering the DNA double helix. Crick used to take small amounts of LSD or mescaline to boost his power of thought; he said that many academics in Cambridge used small amounts of LSD as a thinking tool. This is so interesting how the DNA double helix has become common scientific knowledge even thought it was discovered by the influence of a drug, this blows me away due to people who condemn hallucinogenic drugs while backing it up by science, when in fact DNA itself was discovered by someone on LSD. |
