Can living systems be reduced down to the laws
of physics?
Because all life, even the most complex intelligent life, is based on
the same process of cell reproduction, if we can reduce plant life down
to a physics process that can be explained by physics we can do it with
all life.
To do this we need to know the difference between a living
system and a non living or innate object at the most fundamental level.
To explain this we are going to look at the difference between a living
tree and a dead tree.
This is because plant life is simpler than animal
life and interacts in a more direct way with the light of sun and the
atoms of the soil. Also a tree has no overall commanded centre as we
have in the form of a brain.
This makes it more simple to explain, but also more incredible that we
can have such complexity and diversity without a central command centre.
