More First Which Between Chicken and Eggs?

VIVAnews - Scientists managed to answer one of the oldest riddles in the world, whichever comes first, the chicken or the egg?

Through supercomputers, a team from the University of Sheffield and Warwick, England found the answer. Is it? Chicken.

To the daily page of The Sun, head of the research team describes how they managed to solve the puzzle.

"What we found was 'accident' is fun. Initially, the goal of our research is to discover how animals make eggshells. "

According to him, over the years, people have dismissed the chicken. We are not aware of the incredible indicated the chickens in the process of making eggs.

"Do you realize, when solving boiled egg shells in the morning, you are seeing one of the extraordinary material in the world."

Eggshell has incredible strength, though very light weight. Humans can not make things like that, even close by.

"The problem is, we do not know how chickens make shells."

The research team then used a super computer belonging Science Research Council (UK Science Research Council) based in Edinburgh. The computer is named Hector (High End Computing Resource terascale).

"We wanted to explore how an egg is formed, by looking at the eggs in microscopic detail."

The first look is, knowing the 'recipe' used to make the shells of chicken eggs.

"With the help of sophisticated computers, we solve this problem for weeks. Meanwhile, the chicken can arrange shells in one night. "

Funny thing is, the selection of a chicken eggshell as the focus of research is really accidental. The researchers chose a chicken egg because simple protein for their views.

But the results were very surprising. "We're solving a puzzle of all time. It's awesome. "

As a result, a special protein found in the body of the chicken. Protein that is was a 'builder' tirelessly, drafted sections of microscopic shells forming eggshell.

Proteins that initiate the process of formation of the egg shell before making the other parts.

Without the protein building blocks, the egg can not be formed. And, the protein found only in the uterus chicken. "That means there is first the chicken before the egg."

But, where did the chicken come from?

Some theories say the ancestors of chicken created the egg dinosaur era.

"Our discovery potential. Therefore, the egg shell is formed of many small crystals. We can use this information to learn how to create and destroy other crystal structures. "

For example, to remove the crust in the kettles and pipes. The study also medical implications.

"Because our bodies use the same method to make teeth and bones, we can learn more about how to rebuild human bones.
