## From DNA to gene editing.. the journey of science from quantum cats to the elixir of life 🐱➡️🧪
In 1943, the famous physicist Erwin Schrödinger – known for the "Schrödinger's cat" quantum experiment – gave a revolutionary lecture in Dublin, linking atoms and life from the perspective of statistical physics. At that time, James Watson (discoverer of the DNA structure) was just a 15-year-old student at the University of Chicago.
But after reading Schrödinger's book "What is Life?", Watson decided to dedicate his life to genetics. Just a decade later, he presented the double helix model of DNA, earning him a Nobel Prize at the age of 25!
### 🧬 From vaccination to gene editing: How has life engineering evolved?
- Genetic vaccination: Like connecting branches of trees, humans have been making genetic modifications without a full understanding of the mechanisms.
- Cloning: Separating the nucleus and cytoplasm and merging them, just as Schrödinger predicted.
- CRISPR-Cas9: In 2012, scientists discovered the "gene scissors" method to cut and modify DNA sequences with precision.
### 💰 Cryptocurrencies enter the fray: Funding the search for immortality!
As artificial intelligence (like DeepMind's AlphaFold) progresses in solving protein puzzles, cryptocurrencies have entered the life sciences field through:
- DeSci (Decentralized Science): Projects like Molecule and **VitaDAO** use blockchain to fund longevity research.
- Bio Protocol: A project that combines memes and science, supported by Vitalik Buterin and **CZ**!
- Artificial intelligence agents: Redefining scientific research by accelerating data analysis and publishing papers.
### 🚀 Summary: Will we witness the "elixir of life" in this century?
Between artificial intelligence and **blockchain** and **genetic engineering**, humanity seems to be approaching the dream of immortality. But ethical questions remain like the code hanging over our heads.
