Von neumann Quote by Richard Bookstaber

“Molecular machines display a key signature or hallmark of design, namely, irreducible complexity. In all irreducibly complex systems in which the cause of the…

“The cell has biological machines at work in it that have separate functions that all have to operate together simultaneously in order for the…

— Calvin W. Allison

“It’s a simple complex system. That’s the technical name for it. Because it’s simple, it’s prone to cascades, and because it’s complex, you can’t…

— James S.A. Corey

“In other words, we can think of life as a self-replicating information-processing system whose information (software) determines both its behavior and the blueprints for…

— Max Tegmark

We have a picture for how complexity arises, because if the universe is computationally capable, maybe we shouldn't be so surprised that things are…

— Seth Lloyd

“We now know that the secret of life lies not with the chemical ingredients as such, but with the logical structure and organisational arrangement…

A world of automata – of creatures that worked like machines – would hardly be worth creating.

— Anonymous

“Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.…

— C.S. Lewis

“Yet once biologists concluded that organisms are algorithms, they dismantled the wall between the organic and the inorganic, turned the computer revolution from a…

— Yuval Noah Harari

Once the cells in a biological machine stop working, it can never be started again. It goes into a cascade of decay, falling toward…

— Richard Preston

“What is surely impossible is that a theoretical physicist, given unlimited computing power, should deduce from the laws of physics that a certain complex…

— Steven Weinberg

“To grasp the reality of life as it has been revealed by molecular biology, we must magnify a cell a thousand million times until…
