"What can be said with some assurance is that there is a unique and
nearly ubiquitous compound, with the empirical formula<b>
H</b>(2960)<b>O</b>(1480)<b>C</b>(1480)<b>N</b>(16)<b>P</b>(1.8)<b>S</b
>, called living matter. Its synthesis, on an oxidized and
uncarboxylated earth, is the most intricate feat of chemical
engineering ever performed - and the most delicate operation that
people have ever tampered with."<br>
