Robot protein

Apparently some computer scientists managed to simulate life on a computer, and let it evolve on its own, and it ended up forming life that was very similar to ours (it was based on something similar to protein or something like that—I don’t pretend to know what I’m talking about here).

The implications of this are pretty huge; it implies that all life (i.e. on other planets) evolves in a similar manner to ours.  That said, it is possible that the way it was simulated was based on the setting on Earth all those years ago, in which case never mind the study doesn’t really say much at all.

But hey I think this stuff is pretty cool yeah
