ambiguous question thread.

Any biofags here?
I need to organize my undestanding on biology.
Its basics but i never paid attention till now.

1 protein
2 genes
3 dna
4 chromosomes
5 cell
6 sperm
7 neurons
8 hormones

Is this the hierarchy?
Protein is inside genes, genes inside dna, dna inside chromosomes etc?

Is that correct?

Why is your theory on the older people not having original thoughts.
Am ofcourse talking about academia.

99% of scientists ever discovered something was in their 17-30.
If you look at Einstein for instance, he did his all job in his twenties and maybe a bit more, his last 30 years of life had nothing new, and he WAS trying but nothing.

This goes for almost all scientists in hard sciences.
To make a discovery you must have an out-of-the-box thinking.

This is not about getting money or being famous or being a psychologist, but hard sciences/math which requires alot of fresh creativity to do something substantial.

Does the brain loses its creativity with age?
What is your take?

The answer always goes down to:these:

1

1.5

2

~2 infinite

Undefined

Pick one or make one
