Dr. Lee Cronin is a Professor and the Regius Chair of Chemistry at the University of Glasgow, where he leads research on the chemical origins of life, computerized chemistry, and assembly theory. In this episode, we explore how assembly theory, analogues between chemistry and computation, the origins of life, the concepts of entropy and time, quantum mechanics, consciousness, simulation theories of the universe, and much more.

Just happens naturally. Science is wonderful, don't think about it too hard. Now, give me millions for my studies! (C) Lee Cronin, probably

At what point does the Origin of Life occur within the context of Assembly Theory? I read as much material as is available regarding this question and could not locate an answer.

There is none which is why it hasn’t been deliberately stated

17:54 "When you move between the layers -- when you go from cells to tissues, tissues to organisms, organisms to abstraction, abstractions to consciousness, consciousness to technology and intelligence -- something interesting happens because now you could say ... I'm not satisfied with my genetic machinery, I'm going to alter myself and I might alter my my germ line so that my kids will have this adaptation, and then you could be the first ever "Lamarckian Darwinian" because you have the intelligence, the cognition to build your own DNA modification using CRISPR (short for “clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats”), give it to yourself and then away you go.... so we're kind of entering a really interesting idea that when you move between the levels of emergence you're able to do something even even more interesting than what was predicted by evolution alone." Wow.

Life did not emerge from a chemical soup.

There's a major problem with the ABRACADABRA argument. I am astonished that Lee Cronin hasn't noticed.

I was absolutely shocked he didn't notice it!

@sentientflower7891 6 ай бұрын

@@geeboom you do know that the entire ABRACADABRA argument presumes that the word exist prior to the compression algorithm?

Sounds like waffle to me. Too many analogies and abstractions.

Nope,it doesn't SOUND like waffling. It IS waffling. I am absolutely amazed at the desperation and farfetched ideas they are willing to cling to. Hey ,we will accept ANYTHING _____as long as it leaves no room for a creator...that IS clearly their mindset. Simply astounding!

They don't believe in God but surely they NEED the supernatural. That soup is a prime example! Was it eternal? Did it decide to start existing because it simply NEEDED to for the sake of evolution? That was one very, very special soup. It would put all chefs to suicidal shame. Yummy!
