Is life as fundamental a property of the universe as matter and energy?

01 January 1970 1 6K Report

This was the contention of Vladimir Vernadsky; a viewpoint that really upset A. I. Oparin.

No!

Biological organic chemistry "creates" multiple and complicated forms in order to make them more endurable and stiff.

Matter and Energy are primordial agents of our identification of the universe and i am not pretty sure that they are fundamental too.

Something is fundamental according to something else.

Nothing is a priori this or that.

Only a posteriori!
