Emerging belief that it is possible to mimic the mechanisms of biology
Researchers in the fields of life sciences discovered over the past few decades that there are many fundamental mechanisms that facilitate the recreation and support of all life forms. At a distance these mechanisms can be characterized as machines or engines. They absorb energy and in a very efficient way cause events to occur. For example, a virus will permeate a cell and then integrate with the genetic material of the cell.
Presently, we can observe these activities on a macroscopic scale. In many cases we do not understand how they work or why they work. But there is a belief that we can understand, emulate and even use these fundamental activities or machines that occur in biological systems.
