If for some reason you wanted to see a Loxodes magnus single-celled eukaryote die in real time while listening to a semi-philosophical discussion on the nature of life spoken by a smarmy voice, this video should suit your needs:
“Life is a chemical system that uses energy to keep itself from reaching chemical equilibrium.” → discuss!
Also: compare to Jacques Monod's proposed definition of life in his 1970 book ‘Le Hasard et la Nécessité’ (‘Chance and Necessity’), as the conjunction of: teleonomy, autonomous morphogenesis and reproductive invariance.
And to the criteria proposed in ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… — dissipation, autocatalysis, homeostasis, and learning.
