Abstract
Intuition teaches us that living things are very different from inorganic matter. In contrast to the teachings of physics that in closed physical systems, containing only inorganic matter, entropy increases steadily, approaching finally a “heat death”, in nature we observe that living things behave very differently from non-living systems. What we perceive, if only subconsciously, is that the structure of living things when compared to inorganic matter is much more complex and richer in organisation and information.
