Join renowned physicist Brian Cox on an intellectual odyssey inspired by a groundbreaking book. In this captivating exploration, we delve into Erwin Schrödinger's age-old question, 'What is Life?' Schrödinger, a pioneer of quantum mechanics, pondered how the laws of physics and chemistry account for the events within a living organism. He ventured into the realms of DNA, crystal molecules, and the profound challenges presented by the second law of thermodynamics.
With Brian Cox as our guide, we embark on a fascinating journey to unravel the mysteries of life. Discover how the ordered energy from the sun and the remarkable process of photosynthesis lay the foundation for life's existence. As we explore non-equilibrium thermodynamics, we understand how life defies the universe's natural tendency toward disorder.
