And the second law of thermodynamics fits into that category, but the persistence principle is wider than the second law because the second law is restricted to energetically stable whereas the kinetically the kinetic systems expand the space to kinetically stable, persistent systems that aren't energetically stable.

So there it is, you can have stability of this dynamic kind, and that's part of nature as well. So in that sense, life isn't a totally unexpected phenomenon, because you can see that now in this new thermodynamic or kinetic perspective, the only thing one has to realize is that it seems that the ability for this to get going is highly contingent.

So if you're going to ask me, are we gonna have life in every other planet in some form or other, the answer is I don't know, because the high contingency means the probability that it will happen, that the circumstances will allow Naturally, for a dynamic kinetically stable system to emerge and for it then to become replicative so that it can evolve and expand, I am at a loss.

I do not know the likelihood of that, except that it did happen once. Happened once, right.

Absolutely, because every cell in your body is a DKS system because the cell is a dynamic kinetic system where all the molecules in the cell are continually turning over. Your body is a DKS system because your cells are turning over, some faster than others. Apparently, brain cells turn over more slowly. Skin cells, blood cells, you're shedding millions, billions of these daily.

So it's a dynamic system at many levels. So it's at the molecular level it's happening, at the cellular level, at the organismal level, and of course at the societal level. So, you know, in 100 years' time all the people roaming the earth will be different people to us.

Oh, well, maybe. Look, biology has been in a situation of ongoing crisis, developing crisis for several decades. The genomic paradigm has been very powerful and very useful, but it hasn't been able to answer certain things. And the way biology has gotten around that is by band-aids.

Well, you know, horizontal gene transfer, epigenetics, continually looking for ways to maintain the fundamental idea that – which is genome-centric. And that is the essence of neo-Darwinian theory. But together with actually a bunch of some 20 very serious biologists, we put out a monograph just a year ago with the title Evolution on Purpose. So, you know…

Biologists have been realizing for quite a while that this purpose, wherever we look, and that doesn't fit in with the physical perspective that biology was trying to push onto itself to kind of be respected by physicists. They want physicists to look at them respectfully. So they were saying random mutation, natural selection, all physically logical. But It's simply not the case.

And what happens is you cannot replace an old paradigm with a new one The paradigm doesn't change through failures in the old paradigm, because what happens when the paradigm starts to not work, you add band-aids. What you need is a new paradigm that will encompass the new information, and that has been slow to come about.
