It'll be interesting to see if this potentially very useful framework can play out.
At least the article failed to dig deeper into this:
>> by narrowing down relatively complex molecules to a small subset. Ordinary chemical reactions already “select” certain products out of all the possible permutations because they have faster reaction rates.
Since the theory is about assembly all the way down the the bottom, does it seem the theory needs to account for the next level down (and below that from quantum foam to atoms), relative to this chemical selection process? Why is it, or what is it about the universe that causes this, or makes it inevitable?
- fowtowmowcow 4y agoI think that their theory might go something like this when extended: Whatever early state of the universe was in there was a huge set of possibilities but a smaller set assemble into anything and even smaller set can assemble into things such as atoms that have stable eletron orbits that can mix with other atoms giving rise to chemistry. It's not saying this option is inevitable but some option is. We happen to live in the option that gave rise to atomic matter that self interacts allowing to assemble more complex matter. Of course this doesn't include dark energy and dark matter which presumably doesn't interact chemically with the matter we are familiar with but none the less could still be a component needed/useful for life.
