Dynamic Kinetic Stability and the Origins of Life
This chapter explores the concept of dynamic kinetic stability as a lens for understanding life's origins, highlighting that living organisms are inherently dynamic rather than static. It contrasts traditional stability definitions from physics with a broader perspective that considers the persistence and adaptability of chemical systems over time. Through examples and metaphors, it illustrates how even energetically unstable systems can exhibit temporal stability, drawing parallels with the continuous renewal of living organisms.
