1. What Is Life?
The Physical Aspect of the Living Cell
"What is Life?" is a scientific exploration that delves into the intersection of physics and biology. The book presents the idea that life, at its most basic level, operates according to the laws of physics and chemistry. It introduces the concept of an "aperiodic crystal" that contains genetic information in its configuration of covalent chemical bonds, which later inspired the discovery of the structure of DNA. The book also discusses entropy and negentropy, suggesting that life feeds on negentropy to counteract the natural process of increasing entropy.
