O que são organismos vivos?
Uma definição inusitada aparece neste livro:
Living organisms are highly organized chemical systems that comply with the first and second laws of thermodynamics. They are low-entropy systems which (1) must obtain energy from external sources and (2) to support life, must have a continuous energy flow. Upon death, the flow of energy stops and entropy tends to a maximum.
