tl;dr Atoms behave like cellular automatons

What a surprise

Yawn

>>6788303
I think you can sum it up in a much more exciting way

basically according to this, depending on how homogenous a system is and how much energy input it receives, it's almost BOUND to produce life

that's pretty staggering stuff

not testable, a hastily repackaged anthropic principle

>>6788289
Isn't this the same thing everyone has been saying for years?

>still believing plants and animals share the same primordial ancestors
come on scientists, you're better than this.

I think there is some validity in it. I think there is definitely other life out there. The universe is so large and we live on a planet in a solar system that is not uncommon in the universe. The elements that make up our bodies are also very common. There is so much time going on for life to take hold.


I am saddening that I can't actually completely comprehend how life came into being and how it completely all works.

this is biology and physics, not math. Of course there will be approximations and estimates.

what do you want, England's Law of Whether Life Will Appear?

>>6788324
I heard this is how science works nowadays. You should check something called "climatology" for a good laugh, I heard they're still trying to make correct predictions

This (if true) probably means that E.T.s are FAR more common than we could've thought.

here's the paper

Even if it was true the universe is too hueg for any of the ingelligent species to discover each other. Couldn't he work on a theory about faster space travel instead?

Alcubierre drive

now we only need negative mass

>>6788306
but thats just obvious and well known! Life for example (most probably) developed around hot geysirs underwater where a lot of different molecules were being formed and thrown around.
everyone who understand a bit of evolution should see that.
popsci shit

>>6788289
I like the lighting and mud theory better because it sounds almost mystical how life arose from mud.

If you want to blow your mind about entropy and existence I have 1 principle for you;

Boltzmann-Brains

Just google it.

>>6789020
You can't even explain it so why should I trust you.

>>6788289
Physicists should stay out of biology.

Self fulfilling prophecy.

>>6789081
>Biophysics shouldn't exist
enjoy never understanding the interactions of proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates

or Pharmacology

>Paranoia much?
Sometimes people don't like to write papers on their mobile phones for an image board.
But I will do it in lay-man terms

It is the concept/paradox that the chance of creating conscience as we know it today on earth, entropy wise "organized animals" are theoretically impossible, is far less likely than "conscience entities" being created out of a "thermodynamic goo" without anything embodying it.

This, on a more philosophical level, also implies that there's chance of your reality being the creation of such Boltzmann-Brain. Similar to the "virtual reality paradox"

happy now

Did you even read the article?

biosphysics has nothing to do with physics. At best, it has to do with chemistry.

>>6789252
and chemistry has nothing to do with physics right? fuck right off with your hand waving bullshit.

>>6789252
>biosphysics has nothing to do with physics. At best, it has to do with chemistry.

Depends on the sub-discipline. Biophysics encompasses a number of different areas. But, I would agree that it has become a popular buzzword to describe interdisciplinary research. The field ebbs and flows, the latest seems to be systems biology.

>>6788306

Have to agree with

That shit is obvious, but it's one of those things where undergrad chad comes up to wizened professor...

>Dr. X! What if...what if...life could arise simply from the spontaneous random interactions of particles colliding in a system with given rules?!?!?!
>shut up undergrad. prove it, then it's something to talk about. until then nobody cares because everyone suspects as much.

>>6789121
That is entirely covered by biochemistry, biophysics is not needed because it is non-useful minutia in that regard.

>>6788289
So chaos caused life?

Thank you, anon, I've been searching for that Wikipedia article for years!
