I'm pretty sure something this complex came from a higher order being. That whole order from chaos argument is not holding water for me with this degree of complexity.
- thechao 3y agoI see the opposite: the DNA/RNA/protein mechanism is just a gigantic pile of self-interacting hacks — core "design constraints" being that the cell: (1) shouldn't die too quickly; and, (2) should be reasonably energy efficient (due to competition).
- IanKerr 3y agoAnd that complex higher order being came from where?
- bmartin13 3y agoNo idea, but the math says there have to be way more dimensions than we can interact with, so I'm thinking it's a higher dimensional being that we can't interact with. It/they would have to enter our dimension to communicate with us.
- andreyvit 3y agoI'm afraid your intuition about complexity misleads you here. If you'd like to learn more, spend some time with say evolutionary algorithms. It's not a big time commitment; playing around for a couple days will likely be enough. You'll find how the crap an evolution-style search comes up with is really similar to how nature works: a few beautiful core finds + a big pile of hacks of varying craziness, some of them totally bonkers, and quite a bit of insane reuse of things one would never consider reusing.
- mensetmanusman 3y agoThe operating system of nature is just as complex.
