七十年前，Erwin Schrodinger 提出了一个简单却深刻的问题：“生命是什么？”人们究竟该如何理解如此非凡的化学系统的存在？这个问题自那时起乃至在此之前，就一直困扰着生物学家和物理学家。生物极其复杂，并具有我们在惰性物质中所看不到的独特属性，例如自我维持和看似有目的的行为。那么，化学是如何催生出生物学的？生命始于自我复制的分子吗？如果是，又是什么引导了最初的自我复制分子走上这样一条道路？如今，发

有一本很有意思的书叫《What is Life - How Chemistry becomes Biology》（什么是生命：化学如何变成生物学）[1]，作者是 Addy Pross（主页：[2]），他在书里主张化学和生物学之间并没有明确的界限。如果你不……这里有一篇书评
There's a very interesting book called "What is Life - How Chemistry becomes Biology" [1] by Addy Pross (homepage: [2]) in which he claims, among other things, that there is no clear boundary between chemistry and biology. Here's a review if you don't…
……可以被称为生命起源的事件。这里有一篇（还算通俗的？）相关文章：https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3843823/ 其中一位作者（Addy Pross）甚至就这个想法写了一本叫《What is Life - How Chemistry becomes Biology》的书（https://www.amazon.de/What-Life-Chemistry-Becomes-Landmark/d... ）。在这个链接有一篇该书的书评 [PDF]：https://www.pagepress.org/journals/index.php/eb/article/view...
…event that could be called the beginning of life. Here is an (accessible?) article on it: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3843823/ One of the authors (Addy Pross) even wrote a book called What is Life - How Chemistry becomes Biology about this idea (https://www.amazon.de/What-Life-Chemistry-Becomes-Landmark/d... ). There's a review of the book at this link [PDF]: https://www.pagepress.org/journals/index.php/eb/article/view...
……化学。我的源代码是由四个重复符号组成的超长一维数组。我记得是指出一维 DNA 导致三维结构的是 Ed Wilson（也可能是薛定谔在《What is Life》里，或者是古尔德在众多文章中的某一篇里提到的）。如果需要的话我可以去找找文献出处。题外话（Meta）：我觉得你错了，但我对你被点踩（down-voting）的严重程度感到意外。
…chemistry. My source code is a very long one dimensional array of four repeated symbols. I think it was Ed Wilson who pointed out the 1d DNA leading to 3d structures (perhaps Schroedinger in his book What is Life or Gould in one of the many essays). I can track the reference down if needed. Meta: I think you are wrong, but I'm surprised at the degree of down-voting.
