Why does life exist?
The answer to the million dollar question: dissipation-driven adaptation of matter. A mouthful, but possibly one of the greatest discoveries of man kind.
Please read the article I would not give it justice in a small summary. I will give a layman's interpretation.
If you radiate enough energy on a clump of atoms it will self organize to diffuse the energy captured. Life according to this new theory is extremely well adapted to do this such thing. The the act of replicating a system can diffuse energy more efficiently. Life may not be a lucky random act, but a basic universal principle. They use an example in the paper, and I'm paraphrasing - gather a bunch of atoms radiated with heat (from the sun), and get a plant. It opens the door to why certain genetic traits occur, that don't look to be of natural selection.
