alt Hacker NewsWith how massively parallel the human body is, this process is copying DNA at an average rate of around 1 million miles per hour if you put all the DNA into a single string. (Consider that each human cell contains about 2 metres worth of DNA)

I’d be curious about this global replication rate as a function of age.

A rate of 10 000 (ten thousand) RPM is mentioned in the video for certain bacteria. My background is in mechanical engineering, does RPM stand for revolutions per minute here? Sounds unbelievably fast for biochemical processes.
