Fascinating! Thank you, s+f!
Science never fails to astound.
When cells replicate, they count the total number of letters in the DNA strand of the daughter cell. If the letter counts don’t match certain exact ratios, the cell knows that an error has been made. So it abandons the operation and kills the new cell.
Jean-Claude Perez discovered an evolutionary mathematical matrix in DNA, based on the Golden Ratio 1.618

Perez discovered that the ratio of white letters to black letters is exactly 0.690983, which is (3-Phi)/2. Phi is the number 1.618, the “Golden Ratio.”
When you overlay these 6 symmetries on top of each other, you get a set of mathematical stairs with 32 golden steps. Then an absolutely fascinating geometrical pattern emerges: The “Dragon Curve” which is well known in fractal geometry. Here it is, labeled with DNA letters in descending frequency:



Jim Gates came into particle physics at just the right time for his brave choice of a thesis project to assure him a place in the early development of supersymmetry, supergravity and superspace. He's been working to explore and understand superspace since the seventies. Gates received his B.A. and Ph.D. at MIT, and is currently the John S. Toll Professor in Physics at the University of Maryland.
The discovery has whipped many conspiracy theorists, new age types and others with fringe views into a frenzy all over the internet, not to mention the religious groups, some of whom are interpreting the discovery as evidence that at the very least there must be some kind of intelligence or designer behind the laws of physics.

To her amazement, the plants could reconstruct the damaged section. They did so by copying other parts of the DNA strand, then pasting them into the damaged area.

E8, I forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me. Another corroborated theory.

Do you have any links that can further explain this? That would be awesome!
I only have a limited knowledge on the topic of information technologies...
If I'm not mistaken, the universe can be broken down into dualities on all levels, so base 2 is very appropriate in computing. Not necessarily the fastest, or best means, but yeah... the best thus far.
I've always been fascinated with base12 though, and I've always flirted with the idea of computing with code that is rooted in base12.
There's a whole list of reasons why base12 is appropriate, which I will not get into... but it has a very geometrical truth behind it, especially rooted in sacred geometry.
What are your thoughts on the plausibility of this?
