A group of scientists has put forth a groundbreaking machine-based theory of life that challenges traditional biological perspectives. This theory suggests that life is not just a product of organic processes but is also heavily influenced by external, non-biological factors such as machines and technology. The proposition puts forward the idea that life is a result of an interplay between biological and
In a new machine-based theory of life Tsvi Tlusty and Albert Libchaber suggest that life is an intricate cascade of machines, from molecular level to entire biospheres. They have developed a conceptual framework and a simplified language to describe living matter as an almost infinite double cascade. This theory identifies a critical point where self-replicating machines interface with their environment, which is essential for the emergence of life. This critical point is marked by specific temporal and spatial scales of 1,000 seconds and 1 micron, corresponding to microbial life. This theory provides a mathematical foundation for understanding life and its complexity

The clearest picture yet of LUCA suggests it was a relatively complex organism living 4.2 billion years ago, a time long considered too harsh for life to flourish.
