# Cellular Digital Twins Turn Biology Into a Search Problem by Alexander Wissner-Gross > "The beauty of the Millennium Problems for Biology is that they are easy to verify and, for now, hard to solve. That structure turns every hard biological problem into a mathematical conjecture and a target. With cellular digital twins, biology becomes a search problem, which makes it tractable for the first time in history." > **— Alexander Wissner-Gross**, *MOONSHOTS Live, September 25, 2026* ## Sources and Context - **Recording or publication:** [MOONSHOTS Live at 50:23](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbk7hdOwJj4&t=3023s) — The poster preserves the complete source object used in the research dossier; square brackets or ellipses, when present, are visible editorial repairs inherited from the reconciled source record. - **Reconciled source dossier:** [[research/Jensen Pushes Back on Doomers Moonshots Live|Jensen Pushes Back on Doomers Moonshots Live]] — preserves transcript order, speaker attribution, editorial conventions, and the surrounding argument from which this Reminder was promoted. ## Related Articles and Collections - **Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] - **Collection:** [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] - **Collection:** [[collections/Simple Reminders|Simple Reminders]] - **Article:** [[articles/Longevity Escape Velocity|Longevity Escape Velocity]] - **Article:** [[articles/Vertically Integrating an AI Superpower from AI Factory to Citizen|Vertically Integrating an AI Superpower]] ## Related Topics - [[wiki/Alexander Wissner-Gross|Alexander Wissner-Gross]] - [[wiki/Cellular Digital Twins|Cellular Digital Twins]] - [[wiki/Biological Moonshots|Biological Moonshots]] ## Share on Social Media ``` "The beauty of the Millennium Problems for Biology is that they are easy to verify and, for now, hard to solve.
