Biotechnology, Genetic Engineering, and Genomics

Now I saw the point more clearly. It would be futile to send a physical body hurtling across space. The essential thing was to send the information, the bolt of information.

Sherwood (Fred Hoyle, Ossian's Ride, 1959)

Fool! All that is, at all,
Lasts ever, past recall;
Earth changes, but thy soul and God stand sure:
What entered into thee,
That was, is, and shall be:
Time's wheel runs back or stops: Potter and clay endure.

Robert Browning
