I had the idea recently that if the interactions between atoms could be calculated, that a large enough computer could simulate biological processes.
What would I need to know to simulate something simple? For example:
If I had 2 carbon atoms some distance apart, how could I simulate the bonding process and visually represent the carbon atoms exchanging electrons and electromagnetically attracting? Something where I can calculate the new positions of the atom and electron fields each timestep and eventually arrive at a bonded position.
