The article below makes me wonder if I should reconsider my complexity vs simplicity blogs. The default in life, nature and the universe appears to be complexity. Moreover, it also suggest there's a blueprint in life, nature and the universe. Also see my 2025 blog: Is a Universal design likely? Obviously, an organism with an "early immune system" that was "fighting...
In 2016, I published my blog: LUCA, our Last Universal Common Ancestor. A recent Aeon article stated that life "emerged far earlier, and far quicker, than we once thought possible". Current estimates: "LUCA lived between 4.09 and 4.33 billion years ago [..]." Earth's age is 4.54 billion years. What if LUCA will - once - be estimated as older than Earth ??...
Evolution is a "general term for change over time" (Wiki) and usually refers to biological evolution. Considering its definition, evoution is restricted to our planet. A recent study by the Max Planck Society challenges our notion: The evolution of life may have its origins in outer space. In my view, this MPG finding supports ancient notions like panpsychism (eg,...
In 2024, I wrote my blog: Does the aether represent “dark” matter & energy? The 2023 Nautilus article below has an interesting claim: The void in the universe is alive. I must agree considering if only considering the existence of viruses (eg, astrovirology, Fred Hoyle, NatGeo, NIH, panspermia). I suppose that our houses have a certain ratio between something...
My blog title above has been borrowed from a recent email by the John Templeton Foundation. The answer depends on your precise definition of Evolution and of Life. The definition of Life is (very) complex. For example: Does Life include bacteria and viruses?? Does Evolution include collisions with asteroids and comets? Does water constitute Evolution, Life or a...
There are several words in our lives for which we have no precise definition, like consciousness, friendship, life, and love. Still, we know what we mean with those words. Another word for unknown knowns is instinct or intuition. No scientist can explain consciousness. In my view, our individual consciousness might well relate to a universal mind or universal...
