Hello,
Some years ago I have heard from the brazilian physicist, Constantino Tsalis, that the DNA molecule, if unfolded and made to lay in a line, will be close to one meter long. But he said that thermodynamically this configuration could be taken as an impossibility, for no such long and linear molecule could exist for long time. Is there any clear principle in thermodynamics that put the things in this terms?
Best Regards,
DaTario
