Gamers Solve Scientific Problems

How did gamers use the computer game Foldit to solve the protein folding mystery ?

They did these models that represented the AIDS in the computer and it showed how you could fix them ad if they were a puzzle. It would be like curing the AID in real life.

Who can participate in this problem solving and be a player in Foldit ?
Anybody can pretty much participate in it, even if you don't really know about the topic or any skill that has to do with it you can still play it. The player who is playing can solve the puzzle without even knowing what to do and in real life they could cure that AID.

What can critical thinking do for science ?

It can help it out by thinking many Ideas about the topic and how to solve it. All the Ideas that there is to think, one of those will help us. We just really need to focus on the topic and really think about it


If you could solve a mystery through gaming for any kind of disease or illness in the world what ,would it be ?


I think I'd problaby like to solve Cancer. Cancer is a really big deal right now,and it's a very powerful disease that can kill people and has killed some. There are many people out there that are fighting it and survivors. I think this is a really big problem to solve, If I ever had the chance to solve this big cause I would so definetely take the opportunity to do it.
