Why Life is Physics and not Chemistry

... and never even mind Biology :)

Here is note about the article: "http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/26059/"

And here is the article: "http://arxiv.org/abs/1011.4125"

So far, I've just read the note and the abstract ... but I've now downloaded the article and am going through it now.

This really looks grand.

Some Excellent Posts

Hi;

In the course of thinking about the limitations of logic and mathematics I've read many posts.

Here are three that seem to me to pull a lot of things together:

"The Vagueness Paradox" - A post by Terence Tao that brings together a lot of stuff (in combination with a couple of Wikipedia articles - see the next two links.)

"Tarski's Undefinability Theorem" - A link to this page is in the post by Tao.

"Diagonal lemma" - A link to this page is in the Tarski article.

I said in some post quite a while ago that I thought things could be sorted out by carefully thinking about how it all fits together. Well that is indeed the case as illustrated by these posts and articles. Here is a link to my thoughts about a "A Gödelian Puzzle".
