[00:00:00]You guys are actually cooking up this stuff for real here in your lab here.

[00:00:03]>> Yeah, we discovered that we can change the [music] bases in the DNA which you learned about in 10th grade biology.

[00:00:09]That is the information components GACT the four letters of DNA that we you know use to encode information. We can change the sugars in the backbone of the DNA but what we cannot change is [music] the repeating charges that hold the building blocks together. White things in the background are phosphates on the backbone. So yes, so these are the repeating charges [music] in the backbone of the DNA. It turns out that these are the features of that structure [music] that allow this molecule to evolve. This is not theory. It's not theory.

[00:00:41]>> Okay, what is the theory is how evolution can occur because the polyelectrolyte is universal in all informational genetic [music] molecules to support Darwinian evolution and we think that Darwinian evolution is universal to life. Well, we don't think it everybody thinks that Darwinian evolution is universal.
