🙂

reminds me too of the Futurama episode when the ship is being dragged deep underwater:

Professor, what pressure can the hull withstand?

Well, since it’s a spaceship, anywhere between 0 and 1.

from back when it was first made in the 60s. Spin,off of the space program, but analog.

“And yet even such apparently complex organisms are made of extremely simple chemicals that can be created with little more than the abundant gasses of the universe and lightning, the most easily achievable concentrated energy source it is possible for nature to get”.

PS an analogue watch is far more complex than DNA. DNA just consitutes four bases and they can’t even be connected except two ways.
