Billions of years, yeah.

It's crazy that there's billions of years inside all of us.

Because it's creative, but with us, obviously, like not independently of us. And also because of this sort of lineage view of life. And I think about life often as a planetary scale phenomena, because that's sort of the natural boundary for all of this causation that's bundled in every object in our biosphere. And so for me, it's just sort of the current boundary of how far life

on our planet has pushed into the things that our universe can generate. And so it's the furthest thing. It's the biggest thing. And I think a lot about the nature of life across different scales. And so, you know, we have cells inside of us that are alive and we feel like we're alive, but we don't often think about the societies that we're embedded in.

as alive or a global scale organization of us and our technology on the planet as alive. But I think if you have this deeper view into the nature of life, which I think is necessary also to solve the origin of life, then you have to include those things.

Yeah. This is the hard thing about solving the problem of life, I think, is how many things you have to integrate into building a unified picture of this thing that we want to call life. And a lot of our theories of physics are built on building...

deep regularities that explain a really broad class of phenomenon i think we haven't really traditionally thought about life that way uh but i think to get it at some of these hardest questions like looking for life on other planets or the original life you really have to think about it that way and so most of like my professional work is just trying to understand like every single thing on this planet that might be an example of life which is pretty much everything and then trying to figure out like what's the deeper structure underlying that

Yeah, Schrodinger really tried to... to do what physicists try to do, which is explain things. And his attempt was to try to explain life in terms of non-equilibrium physics, because he thought that was the best description that we could generate at the time. And so he did come up with something really insightful, which was to predict the structure of DNA as an aperiodic crystal.
