something pretty simple & gigafunny yet super important i came across this past week (/showthread.php?tid=21254)something pretty simple & gigafunny yet super important i came across this past week - brocode - 28-02-2024
we have to study mechanics as part of my college academics. and we had a mechanics assignment, and one day last week, me and my friends were joking about how a biomedical engineering female friend in the circle is gonna study muh torsional stress on people's back and analyze it. basically some meta jokes related to our daily lives.
and later that night, i was in my room doing some research related to my internship (cancer diagnosis and genetics) and i was texting the same friends. I then jokingly searched for DNA friction as i thought it was pretty funny.
to my surprise... friction between DNA and RNA molecules... was a real thing
and to make it even funnier and brutal.
it affected gene expression by affecting transcription and translation processes (basically the mechanisms through which ur body produces proteins based on ur genes)
so to summarize, basically, the reason ur genes ARE not expressed to the full extent... is because of fucking friction in ur body
u cant make this shit up

(check references in the articles for the papers, there's a lot of papers on this, im not a subject matter expert, only went though like 30 of them)
this makes instant sense when u think about it, they are physical molecules at the end of the day, and so mechanics DOES apply to them too.
but who wouldve thought it was so important

Look up dynamics by dr Chopra (he is hindu)

Just noticed the mistake
Didn’t mean to add the period there, my bad

Studying structures is cool ngl but the students and the professors in this field at least here are autistic af and super conservative, old academic strict type

I didn’t register it as a mistake, I just thought it was a slight overreaction to dna friction

I guess it was the last thing one would think about, but yeah you’re right, I overreacted

Just move 1 protein at a time, 30 trillion times
So that 1 single irrelevant gnee will be expressed that will make you 1.000001 tiems more likely to have red hair or somethign

seems worthwhile, 10's of millions of people globally suffer from debilitating spine issues
but yeah, even on a micro level everything is technically mechanical. it's a question of what we can actually do about it
