Title: fractal virus Post by: teamfresh on August 13, 2010, 12:19:33 AM Do you know why more complex viruses (e.g., HIV, AIDS-virus and SARS coronavirus) tend to be more fatal :hmh: http://fractal.co/fractal-virus/ Title: Re: fractal virus Post by: kram1032 on August 13, 2010, 11:58:05 AM Their complexity allows for more complex and thus possibly more dangerous programs, I'd guess...
Title: Re: fractal virus Post by: cKleinhuis on August 13, 2010, 12:07:37 PM chaotic structures tend to be very stable ( e.g. the red dot on jupiter )
it makes the virus morphable and thus very effective !warning this is just my personal opinion/assumption, and not some cited fact!! Title: Re: fractal virus Post by: teamfresh on August 13, 2010, 03:38:52 PM Their complexity allows for more complex and thus possibly more dangerous programs, I'd guess... correct The virus cells have a higher metabolic rate than our cells. This is because the virus cells surface has a fractal dimension (unlike our smoother rounder cells) The link to the article on my blog covers in depth a paper that was written to explain how nano drugs can be absorbed by the virus cells making their surface smoother and increasing their dimension towards 2 - thus making them harmless!!! p.s. imagine trying to fill all the cracks of the Mset lol Title: Re: fractal virus Post by: Wel lEnTaoed on August 13, 2010, 04:33:18 PM More fatal because they become more fractal! The Hn complex protein sits on the surface of a virus; making it more rough & irregular. 3d & more fractal. The receptor moecules on the surface of all viruses are fractal. If researchers can solve one HN structure they can probably solve them all. That's were fractals in can do a lot for medical research. I believe BT posted a similar thread just below. Fascinating stuff. |
