NATURE’S BUILDING CODE: THE BAUHAUS SCHOOL OF CELL DESIGN

The Earth formed as a planet about 4.5 billion years ago (Ga) and until about 3.8 Ga, its surface was ceaselessly pounded by gravitationally captured material [1]. The impact of meteorites and asteroids, with dimensions of meters to kilometers, frac-tured and heated the emerging land masses, in some...
