Imagine that in each pond several different combinations are being tried in parallel, kind of like in a quantum computer. Of course, the universe is a giant quantum computer. This leads to the idea that even if life is very unlikely, it can still develop since there are so many "attempts". It also means that life can develop many times, but in different attempts. By this I mean different parallel attempts, such that whatever happens in one of these attempts is not accessible to what happens in another attempt.
I also think life is very rare, and I am in fact of the opinion we won't find any other instance of it.
- jonshariat 6y agoThe thing I always struggled with about the "Monkeys at typewriters" type thinking is what about entropy? Yes with unlimited attempts anything can happen but if you have a force working against it, it could also be equally likely nothing ever happens, it forever remains neutral or not enough time (if a universe has a life span).
