I think it is what they admitted in the article a replication.. it doesn't explain it.
It only tells us a possible how it happens. not the why.
so it's really gotten nowhere.
they know what life is but still have yet to know the cause.
Same kind of thing.

Plus they had to use electronic hookups and manipulation. How can that be called an explanation of what happens within the body itself.

I dont assume they actually found out anything concerning the cause and meaning.
