They might be solitary. They might not be social. They might not move in groups. They might not want to leave records. They might, again, not have a localized brain or have a completely different kind of nervous system. I think all we can say about life is it has something to do with moving electrons around. And neurologically, we move electrons through our nervous system.

Our brain has electrical configurations. We metabolize food, and that has to do with getting energy, electrical energy in some sense, out of what we're eating. We have organisms on the earth that can eat rocks. It's quite amazing. Minerals. I mean, talk about extremophiles. They can metabolize things that were impossible to metabolize.

And so, again, I think we have to kind of open our minds to how strange that could be and how different from us. And we are the only example, even here on Earth, that does manipulate its environment in that extreme way.

I think there are arguments like that. How entropy is changing from the beginning of the universe to today. How life lowers entropy by organizing things, but it costs more as a whole system. So the whole entropy of the whole system goes up. But of course, I organized things today and reduced the entropy of certain things in order to get up and get here.

And even having this conversation, organizing thoughts. out of the cloud of information, but it comes at the cost of the entire system increasing entropy. So I do think there's probably a very interesting way to talk about life in this way. I'm sure somebody has.

Yeah. I mean, people have tried to make arguments like that. Like, can I look for entropic arguments that might suggest we've done this before? The Big Bang has happened before. Yeah.

I don't think membranes is going to explain why we don't see them in the Milky Way. I think that is just a problem we're stuck with. Whether or not there are extra dimensions or whether or not there's life in another membrane, I think we know that even just in our galaxy, which is a very small part of the universe, 300 billion stars, something like that,

A whole kind of variety of possibilities to be explored by nature in the same way that we're describing. And I think you're absolutely right. When life was kicked off, first sparked here on Earth, it was voracious. Now, it took a really long time, though, to get to multicellularity. I think that's interesting.
