Quote: “ #Life is a special form of #complexity: It has the ability to create more complexity and to maintain #organization against the tendency toward #disorder. In a universe expanding without limit, the ability of #intelligent life to continually construct #complex order may not be limited by the #laws of #thermodynamics in the way once imagined.”
