The Usurper Molecule

a: Dna ~
b: some priest

What: "I'd say DNA is like some priest who long ago usurped the the Book of Life, from RNA, but RNA *wrote* the book originally, and still fills far more essential functions than DNA does. DNA just sits in its nucleus and "reflects". A cell lives MUCH longer if you block its DNA function than if you block its RNA functions (and that's no guess: we have chemicals that can selectively block either one)"

a: subatomic particles ~
b: little billiard balls-NOT

What:

"The leading theories of matter do not favor the idea that subatomic particles are like little billiard balls of differing masses. For example, string theorists speculate that all particles are made of the same stuff; namely, vibrating bits of string. Except that they each vibrate at different frequencies. Problem is, string theory is purely theoretical and really falls more in the mathematical domain than the scientific domain, inasmuch as there is no supporting evidence for the theory. If it does turn out to be true, even the neutron is mostly empty space because the string is supposedly one-dimensional, with a theoretical cross section of a Planck length. "
