What’s Happening

Here’s the thing: There are “costs of life” that mechanical physics cannot calculate.

A clear example is the energy required to keep specific biochemical processes active—such as those that make up photosynthesis, although the examples are countless—while preventing alternative processes from occurring. (shocking, we know)

Why This Matters

The scientific community tends to find developments like this significant.

This could have implications for future research in this area.
