The follow up to what is life with the same title "What is life" by sagan and margulis is a great read as well. it talks about entropic boundaries and symbiogensis is a beautiful way.Nick Gogertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14564255432456707181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7446617232754011315.post-83825446825221852602012-09-29T12:35:56.733+05:302012-09-29T12:35:56.733+05:30Thank you.

Scientists should be extra careful to ensure that their statements are not exploited by charlatans.<br /><br />My favourite is Stephen Hawking. Hawking and Penrose did some work together. Whereas Hawking is a household name, Penrose is not. Some of Penrose's statements are attention-grabbers for sure.<br /><br />Coming to Orch-OR, it is a theory which makes a number of falsifiable predictions, none of which have been confirmed by experiment. And many of these predictions have in fact been falsified.

Would you cover it in a subsequent blog?<br />Thank You for making my day with this one. :-))<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
