The issue focused on scientific principles that scientists study and experiments carried out by MIT researchers had revealed biological interactions between laboratory organisms. Scientists knew what compounds made chemical bonds more stable; they didn't know why chemical bonds worked in the first place. And scientists weren't certain whether chemistry couldn't predict biology.

Now scientists have determined how physics predicts biology. Scientists study chemistry as if biology were math. Chemistry studies molecules of chemicals for mathematical relationships to biological behaviors. Biology studies chemistry for mathematics. Mathematics scientists research biology because biologists
