I mean, as a physicist, if I didn't know that life existed, I know that's a difficult thought experiment to pull off, but I would think that probably most things in the universe either are sort of moving, like a planet orbiting the sun in a uniform way, or they come to rest, right? But life has this ability to sort of turn on its motion and turn it off, and that's kind of remarkable.
