How can we explain the mechanism responsible for the evolution of life on the basis of fundamental particles, interactions, and statistics?Submitted by Kalanand Mishra, Cincinnati graduate student.
No theory can claim to be truly general and fundamental if it excludes
from its purview the events in space and time that take place within the spatial
boundary of a living organism. We still don't know
—from fundamental principles—the mystery of life, and it surely
merits to be in the pantheon of Nature's Greatest Puzzles. We can't let the
"ghost in the machine" account for it.
