What is life
WHAT IS LIFE? 何为生死——(网易PATREON youtube节目《何为生死》的字幕)Life is fundamentally different from dead stuff – or is it ?Physicist Erwin Schroedinger defined life this way: Living things avoid decay into disorder and equilibrium. What does it mean? Let’s pretend that your download folder is the universe. It started orderly and get more and more chaotic over time. By investing energy, you can create order and clean it up. This is what living things do.But what is life? Every living thing on this planet is made of cells. Basically, a cell is a protein-based robot, too small to feel or experience anything. It has the properties we just assign to life. It has a wall, separate it from the surroundings, creating order. It regulars itself and maintains a constant state. It eats stuff to stay alive; it grows and develops; it reacts to the environment; and it’s subject to evolution; and it makes more of itself. But of all the stuff that makes up a cell, no part is alive.Stuff reacts chemically with other stuff, forming reactions, that start other reactions which start other reactions. In a single cell , every second, several million chemical reactions take place, forming a complex orchestra. A cell can build several thousand types of protein: some very simple, some complex micro machines. Imagine driving a car at 100km/h, while constantly rebuilding every single part of it, with stuff you collect from the street. That is what cells do. But no part of the cell is alive. Everything is dead matter, moved by the laws of the universe.So is life the aggregate of all these reaction processes that taking place? Eventually, every living thing will die. So the purpose is to prevent this by producing new entities. Life is, in a way, just a lot of stuff that carries genetic information around. Every living thing is subject to evolution, and the DNA that develops the best living thing around it , will stay in the game.So it DNA life, then? If you take DNA out of its hull, it certainly is a very complex molecule , but it can’t do anything by itself. This is where viruses make everything more complicated. They are basically strings of RNA or DNA in a small hull, and need cells to do something. We’re not sure if they count as living or dead. And still, there are 225,000,000 cubic meters of viruses on earth. They don’t seem to care what we think of them.There are even viruses that invade dead cells and reanimate them. So the can be a host for them, which blurs the line even more. Or mitochondria, they are the power plants of most complex cells, and were previously free living bacteria that entered a partnership with bigger cells. They still have their own DNA and can multiply on their own. But they are not alive anymore, they are dead. So they traded their own life for survival of their DNA, which means living things can evolve into dead things, as long as it’s beneficial to their genetic code. So maybe life is information that manages to ensure its continued existence. But what about AI( Artificial intelligence)?By our most common definitions, we are very close to creating artificial life in computer. It’s just a question of time, before the technology we build gets there. And this is not science fiction, either. There are a lot of smart people actively working on this. You can already argue that computer viruses are alive.Hum, okay, so what is life, then? Things, processes, DNA, information? This got confusing very fast. One thing is for sure: the idea that life is fundamentally different from non-living things,because they contain some non-physical elements, or are governed by different principles. Before Charles Darwin, humans drew a line between themselves and the rest of living things. There was something magical about us that made us special. Once we had to accept we are like every living being, a product of evolution, we drew a different line. But the more we learn about what computer can do and how life works, the closer we get to creating the first machine that fits our description of life, the more our image of ourselves is in danger again. And this will happen sooner or later.And here’s another question for you. If everything in the universe is made of the same stuff, does this mean everything in the universe is dead? Or that everything in the universe is alive? That’s just a question of complexity? Does this mean we can never die? Because we were never alive in the first place? Is life and death an irrelevant question? Is it possible there are much more part of the universe around us than we thought? Don’t look at us, we don’t have any answers for you, just questions for you to think about. After all, it’s thinking about questions like this, that makes us feel alive, and give us some comfort.。
人生的思考(英文PPT)
I can’t be sure, but I believe it worths trying.
“Well, say what you want, but I am a nice guy!”
No harm from a glass more. HIC!
till we fall down exhausted...
Time keeps on passing, and...
We meet the sweetheart of our life...
and here comes a baby into our home.
We keep on advancing in the society
when my time comes.
I do not know whether it is good for everybody, but I’m sure that at least I will have had a wonderful time…
which by the way is what counts more. DON’T YOU THINK SO?
Now time does not pass any longer, still you are loosing it.
You realise you’ve been living in the fog
You become a walking ghost
in search of a silly target.
and finally we get the diploma that will ensure us “the position we deserve”.

Unit1：What Is Life 生命是什么
Why is the whole greater than the sum of its part?
Emergent properties: From elements to an ionic molecule
• Common table sat• Chemical formula is NaCl • Or salt is one atom of Na+ and one of Cl-
Physical properties of Na+ and Cl• Properties of Na+ at room temperature
– Solid
– Molecular weight: 23 – Melting point: +98°C – Boiling point: +883°C
• Properties of Cl- at room temperature
Emergence is a Property of Living and Nonliving Systems • Emergence of order & self organization in non-living
systems & living systems are similar
•
Both depend on energy flows that maintain the systems far from thermodynamic equilibrium
Constant intermediate energy input (currents, wind)

• We spend to recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get to angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too often, and pray too seldom.
Love Your Life
However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor-house. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse救济院 as brightly as from the rich man's abode住所 ; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.
们的住房越来越好，脾气却越来越糟； 我们行驶的道路越来越宽阔，眼光却越来越狭隘。 我们付出很多，可获得的很少；
我们购买了很多，可从中得到的乐趣却很少。
大家应该也有点累了，稍作休息
大家有疑问的，可以询问和交流
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space. We've split the atom, but not our prejudice; we write more, but learn less; plan more, but accomplish less.
Paradox of our times
Today we have bigger houses but smaller families; more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less common sense; more knowledge but less judgment; We have more experts, but more problems; more medicines but less Wellness.
• 不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活， 不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像 你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最 穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到 缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚 至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、 光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上， 像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前， 积雪同在早春融化。
What is life ?
Life is a gift—accept it. Life is a struggle—face it. Life is a song—sing it. Life is an adventure—dare it. Life is beauty—praise it. Life is a mystery—unfold it. Life is a game—play it. Life is a puzzle—solve it. Life is an opportunity—take it. Life is a goal—achieve it. Life is a mission—fulfill it. Life is it—live it.
• We multiplied our possessions, but reduce our values; little and lie too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; We've added years to life, not life to years.
我们能够往返于地球与月球之间却不乐于穿过马路向新邻居问好。 我们可 以征服外部空间，却慑于走进内心世界。我们可以击碎原子，却不能突破 思想偏见；我们写得很多，可学到的很少；计划很多，可完成的很少。
We've learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but lower morals. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies, but have less communication. We are long on quantity, but short on quality.
• 我们不断聚敛物质财富，却逐渐丢失了自我价值。 我们的话语太多，真爱太少，谎言泛滥。我们掌 握了谋生手段，却不懂得生活真谛；我们让年华 付诸流水，却不曾将生命倾注其中
We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less.
