#404 โ€“ Lee Cronin: Controversial Nature Paper on Evolution of Life and Universe

you know every time and there are ludicrous things that happen because actually the cost function has been minimized and so i keep seeing parallels everywhere where there are complex nested systems where if you give it enough time and you introduce a bit of heterogeneity the system readjusts and finds a new shortest path but the shortest path isn't fixed on just one molecule now it's in the actual

existence of the object over time and that object could be a city it could be a cell it could be a factory but i think we're going way beyond molecules and my competence probably should go back to molecules but hey all right before we get too far let's talk about the assembly equation okay how should we do this now let me just even read that part of the paper

And minus one, just to make sure that more than one object. One object could be a one-off and random. And then you have more than one identical object. That's interesting.

Two of a thing is super important, especially if the assembly index is high. So we could say several questions here.

So, yeah, so this is probably what, you know, the paper, we should talk about the paper for a second. The paper did, what it did is it kind of annoyed, um, we didn't know. I mean, it got attention and obviously angry people, the angry people were annoyed. There's angry people in the world. That's good. So what happened is the evolutionary biologists got angry.

We were not expecting that because we thought evolutionary biologists would be cool. I knew that some, not many, computational complexity people would get angry because I'd kind of been poking them and maybe I deserved it. But I was trying to poke them in a productive way. And then the physicists kind of got grumpy because the initial conditions tell everything.

The prebiotic chemist got slightly grumpy because there's not enough chemistry in there. And then finally, when the creationist said it wasn't creationist enough, I was like, I've done my job.
