A group of scientists have repeated an experiment over 600 times as they try to understand evolution's secrets.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result. At least, that’s what Einstein used to say. However, a group of scientists doesn’t seem to have gotten the memo, as they’ve completed an experiment 600 times to try to unfurl evolution’s secrets.
The experiment has been ongoing for over a decade, with scientists in a lab in Atlanta watching thousands of yeast cells fight each day. The cells that grow the fastest live the longest, producing the biggest clumps, eventually branching out into snowflake shapes, according to aThe belief is that snowflakes similar to these were at the heart of evolution that happened millions of years ago when the first single-celled creatures began to band together and become multicellular.
The experiment has shown that over the course of around 3,000 generations, the clumps of yeast have begun to grow so large that you can even see them with the naked eye. That’s a huge amount of growth, and it honestly could provide more insight into those mysterious secrets that evolution has kept hidden from us, including whether or notEvery day the researchers swirl around a test tube full of yeast cells.
It’s also possible that the outermost yeast objects could provide nutrients to the innermost structures. That’s something that the researchers plan to test in the future, which could further unlock the clues that help us decode evolution’s secrets.
