Tony:Hrmm, I think this guy starts from a fundamentally flawed premise. The key distinction between organic and inorganic material is not its capacity for capturing and storing energy or dissipating heat. Things like replication/reproduction are also key ingredients that are not explained at all by his model. If anything, this model predicts that all matter in the early earth would have tended towards homogeneity, not towards life.-I have to agree. Biology is not a mathmatical formula. First life needs a variety of elements to form together, and must have some bits of organic molecules to start. It is that beginning that is totally unexplained by his model, which in many of the comments is described as "tenuous". But trust George to find some intriguing ideas based on math. There is no math formula for Darwin's theory although there have been attempts.
