Very nascent field of research about which absolutely nothing is known. But with the very clever and imaginative people at Max Planck Institute, it won\'t stay that way much longer. Lots and lots of legacy observations to give very strong clues about how what people always knew to be true will proceed.

The problem with explaining life is the irreducable
complexity of even the simplest self-replicating DNA-based
cell. It all has to work before any of it can work.

John Larkin doesn\'t understand evolution. The self-replicating cell was merely a stage in the evolution of life - and the first self-replicating systemes are more likely to have been RNA based, because RNA can work as memory molecule and as an enzyme.

It\'s the same argument as the argument for the intelligent design of the eye, but with the eye primitive organisms exhibit a whole of int\\er mediate eye-like structures.

The early cell-like organisms became lunch for the later. better organised survivors.

They still have a long way to go. Here is one example of just how complex it gets:

This [brain] circuit detects inflammation in the blood and organizes and regulates the immune response.

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2023/07/230725123050.htm

Also hints at scientific underpinnings of the placebo effect, as well as pointing out the possible dangers of pharmaceutical alteration of brain function, especially as regards all the various types of blockers, inhibitors, and agonists.

Best to not tinker with a complex mechanism that you don\'t
understand.

Most drugs are selected through accidental observation.

It seems to have started off as an RNA-based cell/virus, but we can\'t seem to get this idea across to John Larkin.

Look at it like the modern cell-phone

Cell phones don\'t design or assemble themselves. They evolved, but under deliberate intelligent direction.

No muddy puddle will deliver a living cell or a cell phone by itself.

That\'s the intelligent design (also known as \"creationist\") argument. It does take a long sequence of muddy puddles, but given them a few billion years and they do seem to deliver, increment by increment.

All things organize.. communicate, are coupled..

Its simple.
No religion needed, no hocus pocus.
And it is likely universally everywhere (life) where it can be.

The complexity is perfectly credible. There\'s quite range of complexity in living organisms, and we can see a lot of the intermediate steps when we compare different phyla (which have been different for quite a long time), so we can work out how lot of the different complications evolved from simpler predecessors

> People have tried to conjecture a path without success.

So far.

protons, neutrons, electrons SELF assemble into atoms

Earth started off with atoms in the periodic table heaver than iron, which only seem to be generated in supernova. Life certainly exploits some of them - our blood depends on iron, but molluscs and some arthopods use copper-based blood.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemocyanin

> Likely they designed us.

Probably not. We do incorporate a lot of stupid design. Earlier forms of life, if they evolved would probably have skipped elements heavier than iron - earth doesn\'t have all that much of them, and earlier stars would have had even less. With fewer atoms to play with they might well have evolved more slowly.

Well that sounds vague
Simple atoms are in fact extremely complicated / complex things we humans (CERN et all) are still trying to
get to the bottom of so to speak.
What they are made of, how they interact, how they form
how many forms there are
Yet those atoms are everywhere...

There are scientists that think there was more than one big-bang, so do I (if it really was a bang that is).
When and where and how these happened and what of it we can detect, is a good question.


>Likely they designed us.

That is circular reasoning.
We are likely (I know this may hurt somebodies ego) just like an atom, logically interaction of forces
from many elementary (not the right word, but OK) particles.
Important is to understand all is connected by forces.
Move an electron here .. a bit later it s felt everywhere else...
communication

You can look at what we call \'universe\' as one large organism too.
There must be so much more out there
we could be like a grain of sand that thinks the beach is the universe, never knowing
about oceans and land.

Was just reading this, maybe for the mathematicians here, number theory:
