Is the emergence of life an expected phase transition in the evolving universe?
Summary: Researchers Stuart Kauffman and Andrea Roli propose a new definition of life, suggesting its emergence in the universe is expected and its evolution is not governed by any law. By uniting two mathematical theories, Collectively Autocatalytic Sets and the Theory of the Adjacent Possible, they imply that life is expected as a phase transition in the evolving universe. The study offers new ways to explore metabolisms' phylogeny, search for life on exoplanets, and investigate the emergence of rudimentary life.
