I am currently in the process of composing a highly psychophysical piece of text of which I do not yet know of what my end goal is upon completion. It is designed to question the world as we see it and furthermore open up the mind of the reader speaking of scientific research which shows that the colour we all call "Green" for instance, to some people actually see as "Blue" however because we've always been told from birth it is called as such, people don't question.
I am at a part of my work of which speaks about how complex our body is, speaking of human DNA and I would like to ask the scientific community of these forums;
If a single strand of DNA was of the same circumference of a standard water slide, what would be the length of the DNA? To the best guess approximation of our current development and research, how many strands of DNA does the average human have? What is the most commonly accepted size of a DNA strings actual size and if combined with the above, what would be the total length?
I am not an expert when it comes to anything scientific, I only have a moderate understanding compared to many people of these forums however somewhat more than the average person. I do apologize for my questions upon them not being specific if this is the case, of which I will amend upon any feedback.
Best Regards,
Tim
