Where's Oldest, Chicken or Egg? This answer!

VIVAnews - Scientists managed to answer one of the oldest riddles in the world, whichever comes first, the chicken or the egg?

Through a super computer, the team from the University of Sheffield and Warwick, England found the answer. What is it? Chicken.

To the daily pages of The Sun, chairman of the research team explained how they had solved the puzzle.

"What we found was 'accident' is fun. Initially, the goal of our research is to discover how animals make shells of eggs."

According to him, so far, people have dismissed the chicken. We did not realize the incredible process shown in the chicken egg-making process.

"You are aware, when it broke the skin boiled egg in the morning, you're watching one of extraordinary material in the world."

Eggshell has incredible strength, despite very light weight. Humans can not make things like that, even approached him.

"The problem is, we do not know how the chicken makes its shell."

The research team then used the super computer owned by the UK Science Research Council (UK Science Research Council) which is based in Edinburgh. The computer was named Hector (High End Computing Terascale Resource).

"We want to explore how the egg is formed, by seeing eggs in microscopic detail the process."

The first look for is, knowing the 'recipe' used to make chicken eggshell.

"With the help of sophisticated computers, we solve this problem for weeks. Meanwhile, the chicken can arrange shells in one night."

Funny thing is, the selection of chicken egg shells as a focus of research truly unintentional. The researchers chose a simple chicken eggs for the protein to be analyzed.

But the result was very surprising. "We solved the riddle of all time. It's amazing."

The result, a special protein found in chicken body. This protein is the 'builders' tirelessly, preparing microscopic sections of the shell forming eggshell.

Proteins that initiate the process of formation of the egg shell before making another.

Without these proteins builders, eggs can not be formed. And, the protein found only in the uterus of chicken. "That means there is first the chicken before the egg."

But, where does chicken come from?

Some theories say, ancestor of chicken egg to create dinosaur era.

"Our discovery is very potential. Therefore, the eggshell is formed of many small crystals. We can use this information to find out how to create and destroy other crystal structures."

For example, to remove scale in kettles and pipes. This study also medical implications.

"Because our bodies are using the same methods to make teeth and bones, we can learn more about how to rebuild the human bones." (Adi)
