What if we use DNA computer to do the smimulation?

:mrgreen: Ok, I know this post does not make sense, but I am still going to post it. Question as topic. I do not know how DNA computer works, but there are some people working it,, and do actually come up a prototype. In theory, the DNA computer will be lot faster than our conventional computer in some application. So, if one day DNA computer do manage to being commercially produce. There is no reason FAH not making a client for it. My question is if the DNA computation work the same way as DNA constructing our body. What will happen if it run on a FAH client? And will the DNA computer crash permanently when simulating DNA mis-folding?

Just some random wild imagination come up in my mind. I think it will be very interesting to see a DNA computer tried to simulate a program to study how it folds, unfold and mis-fold. :mrgreen:

DNA computing won't work for our calculations.

What about those prodigies and mental calculators who can supposedly do math faster than the most powerful supercomputers today? Would be something if they can look at the initial positions of atoms and then compute in a flash how its gonna behave in that GEN :biggrin: I hope they don't start discussing PPD.

No, they'd come up with a perfect answer ;)
