  it's not just the ribosome that is at the heart of the translation

  the ribosome the fundamental machine that is responsible for every life for you know every cell on earth of whatever wherever it is in the in the kingdom of life that is an incredibly complex object but it was evolved over time and it wasn't involved in a vacuum and i think that once we understand that selection can um occur um without the ribosome but what the ribosome does it's a phase transition in replication and i think that that and also technology that that is uh um probably much easier to get to than we think why why do you put the ribosome as the central um part of living organisms on earth it basically is a combination of two different polymer systems so rna and peptides so the rna world if you like gets transmitted and builds proteins and the proteins are responsible for all the catalysis it will the majority of the catalysis that goes on the cell no ribosome no proteins no decoding no evolution so ribosome is looking at the action
