(Phys.org) —Geneticists Richard Gordon of the Gulf Specimen Marine Laboratory in Florida and Alexei Sharov of the National Institute on Aging in Baltimore have proposed, in a paper uploaded to the preprint server arXiv, that if the evolution of life follows Moore's Law, then it predates the existence of planet Earth.
On this semilog plot, the complexity of organisms, as measured by the length of functional non-redundant DNA per genome counted by nucleotide base pairs (bp), increases linearly with time (Sharov, 2012). Time is counted backwards in billions of years before the present (time 0). Credit: arXiv:1304.3381 [physics.gen-ph]

There are at least three different definitions of Moore's law, and the only reason it fits so well is because people keep changing the time period, and the thing that they're actually counting to fit the facts.
First it was the number of transistors on an "affordable" silicon chip, then Intel re-defined it as "computing power" because the original law broke down and they weren't doing as much transistors on a chip any longer but the transistors were getting faster, and now it seems to be the number of transistors in a "circuit" and taking account parallel chips in a computer etc.
