ABSTRACT
“But death eventually comes to all things that live, whether they ‘stop’ or not. First life, then death. As a physicist, I believe that life is a mechanism that defies the second law of thermodynamics, while death is the ultimate triumph of this law. What is this second law? It states, in effect, that all natural processes tend to degrade, to lower the levels of energy in a very potent system, in an irreversible manner, unless the system is refurbished.”
