Is the universe alive?
Lets start with a brief explanation of what determines life by using humans as an example. Humans reproduce, evolve over time by transferring information through DNA, and metabolize by turning food into energy.
These same functions are observed in our universe using the Specific Metabolic Rate equation formed by Dr. Geoffrey West.
It accurately predicts every form of life on Earth, and applying it to the universe and its components, saying the universe is alive is a sound argument.
Key Takeaways:
- Professor Syed notes that for a thing to considered alive it must be able to reproduce, evolve over time and metabolize.
- Stars, as the professor points out, meet the criteria for evolution and reproduction as they do die and create nurseries, leading to new stars.
- Stars even metabolize, using fusion, thereby fitting the three criteria for being a living thing.
“We are part of the network of infinite universes connected and entangled by quantum mechanics.”
