This lecture by Jeremy England and the related Quanta magazine article, really added the missing piece to my world view! (1) Why does evolution happen in one direction only? (2) Why (and therefore how) does evolution happen AT ALL? (3) Life is about inevitably absorbing and dissipating a very small fraction of sun's photonic energy by turning it into information ( = complexity). THAT is also the reason why both are measured in Joules! (1 bit = 2.9 x 10^-21 Joules: LANDAUER Principle). I now look at the world (and bio-diversity) very differently. |
