So empty article on the main page. All you need to read is following:
Not surprisingly, such an ambitious project has aroused skepticism. Its proponents have not yet made clear how it might be tested in the lab. And some scientists wonder whether assembly theory can even deliver on its more modest promises to distinguish life from nonlife, and to think about complexity in a new way.
- DennisP 4y ago> But others feel that these are still early days for assembly theory, and there’s a real chance that it might bring a fresh perspective to the question of how complexity arises and evolves...Paul Davies, a physicist at Arizona State agrees, calling it “a novel idea with the potential to transform the way we think about complexity.” If you're only interested in mature, well-tested science, then ignore this. But if actual scientists did that, then scientific progress would slow down by a lot, because anyone with a new hypothesis would have to labor in solitude.
