To the Reader; References; Contents; Introductory Note; Part I The Source of "Folly" and the Reason for Confessions; 1. I am an Inconspicuous and Unattractive Creature Painted with Lipstick; 2. They Say That I Resemble a Sausage; 3. The Cell Is My Castle and Prison But I May Swim and Dance like an Odalisque in a Harem; 4. The Striptease Show - How I Dress and Undress at Every Cell Division; 5. I Have Created My Own Private World Full of Tricks, Back Door Exits and Novel Solutions - I am an Untamed Innovator
6. My Origins Were Humble - The Antithetical Nature of Matter Left a Mark on My Construction7. My Split Personality - The Source of "Folly"; 8. The Reason for Confessions; 9. I Have Been Abused and Covered With Insults; 10. The Wisdom of the Foolish; 11. Scientific Concepts Are Prone to Change Throughout Time - The Nature of Science Demands that Previous Ideas be Superseded, as New TechnologiesAllow a Deeper Insight into Matter 12. What Seems Ludicrous at a Given Time Turns Out to be the Correct Explanation Several Years Later. The Gene was Considered to Consist of Protein, But Is Now Known to be a Ribbon of DNA13. In the Last 20 Years the Number of Human Genes was Reduced from 200,000 to 32,000, and This Figure Remains Uncertain; 14. The Models of Chromosomes Have Varied Drastically with Time; References; Sources of Illustrations; Part II Who Cares for Gravity; 15. The Chromosome in Its Organization and Activity Follows Its Own Path - It Does Not Obey Gravity, Randomness, Selection or Magnetism 16. Definition of Gravity - Newton's Laws Are Good for Planets and Apples17. What Is a Force - The Four Fundamental Forces; 18. Newton's Laws Do Not Apply in Quantum Mechanics; 19. Not All Bodies Fall When Unsupported; 20. The Ascent of Sap in Trees-Another Unexplained Phenomenon; 21. An Unknown Process Decides Which Cells Are Going to Grow in the Direction of Gravity and Which Are Going to Counteract It; 22. Physicists Construct Antigravity Devices that Oblige Frogs and Plants to Float 23. Atoms Hide Many Properties that May Disclose the Mechanisms Behind Living Processes - Liquid Helium Can Build a Fountain Ejecting Itself Out of a Flask24. Levitation in Metals - What Was Impossible Became Possible; 25. Animals, like Plants, Have Created Devices that Counteract Gravity; 26. In Giraffes the Distance between the Heart and the Head Is Over Two Meters; 27. No Chromosome Obeys Newton's Laws - In Their Movements Chromosomes Bypass Gravity; 28. Chromosomes Move in All Directions of the Mariner's Compass 29. It Is the Programmed Pattern of the Organism that Decides the Direction of Movement |
