Exploring the concept of the origin of life through a hypothetical scenario of molecules in a bucket, highlighting the emergence of life from disorder and the attributes that define life such as information usage, self-replication, and evolution.
How does a group of molecules transition into something that is life? And what do even mean when we say 'life'?
To explore the origin of life, we’re joined again by Sara Walker, Deputy Director of the Beyond Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science, Associate Professor in Earth and Space Exploration and Complex Adaptive Systems at Arizona State University, and External Faculty at the Santa Fe Institute.
