Psilocybin and the Concept of Natural Intelligence

Researchers attempted to model the behaviour of a single ribosome. Bear in mind that ribosomes are miniscule molecular machines (literally) residing in cells and which serve to convert DNA script into amino acids and proteins (if you read up on ribosomes, you will find that their specific behaviour is ridiculously refined). To model ribosome behaviour, one of the world's most sophisticated computer simulations was built. To be an accurate model, the physical interactions of over two and a half million atoms had to be simulated. 768 supercomputer processors were used and were left to run for 260 days. The end result of this epic information processing endeavour was a computer movie that simulated a mere two nanoseconds of the behaviour of one single microscopic ribosome.   weblink
