ScienceAlertRadical New Theory Gives a Very Different Perspective on What Life Is (msn.com) "Walker and Cronin's 'assembly theory' predicts that molecules produced by biological processes must be more complex than those produced by non-biological processes. " That's not much of a prediction, chemists have known that for well over a century. > "An electron can be made anywhere in the universe and has no history" And physicists have known that for well over a century. "They calculated the smallest number of steps required to reassemble each compound from these blocks – which they called the 'molecular assembly index' " They may have calculated the smallest number of KNOWN steps needed to make a large and very complex molecule, but they could not be sure there is not an easier way, perhaps a much easier way. Perhaps in their original paper they address some of these issues, but on the face of it the paper doesn't seem very interesting or important to me, so I'm reluctant to take the time to dig into it any further.
