  • Why RNA Genes Are The Heart Of Medicine…

    Intelliget Life

    Life:
    mass format of evolving naturally selected RNA nucleotide(s), which is life’s primal organism.
    Natural selection:
    ubiquitous phenomenon of material that augments its energy constraint.
    Mass-Energy:
    inert-moving graviton(s), the fundamental particle of the universe, inert extremely briefly at the pre-big-bang singularity .
    Intelligence:
    learning from experience.

    Intelligent Life
    Life is an evolving system continuously undergoing natural selection i.e. continuously selecting, intelligently, opportunities to augment its energy constraint in order to survive i.e. in order to avoid its own mass format being re-converted to energy.
