[W]ith the physics of living matter, have we joined... the world of physics with the world of informational biology? - Paul Davies

Matter as such has been demoted from its central role, to be replaced by concepts such as organization, complexity and information.

Perhaps the most exquisite example of information in biology... During embryogenesis there's the most meticulous choreography of organized information, so all the right bits end up in the right place, at the right time. ...[T]he power of information to sculpt [living] physical forms.

[W]e... need some new physics. ...The attempt to square the circle by starting out with known physics at the atomic level and somehow life emerging at some higher level... I... don't think we're going to be able to do it without new physics.
