it does look like it is living, this is what those videos of proteins working should look like, because in those video the molecules always seem to come out of nowhere and fit exactly in place. If they were represented more like this then it would be 100 times more believeable.

Looks like its producing a lot of hydrogen at the same time :)

Very cool concept though, kinda show how forms under random forces can create order and directed movment.

Can you explain it using surface tension and lowest energy configuration?
