Quintessence - Life's Essential Balance Between Stability, Novelty and Fateful Encounters

We’re two scientists trying to understand Life and Evolution. On a fundamental level, we may all wonder if Life is somehow hard-wired into the structural design of the universe. This naturally leads to the question of what is it that is hard-wired into this vast universe that produces Life? Are there yet unknown chemistries that we haven’t explored? Are there unknown physical laws that govern the flow of energies into Life’s multiple forms? We attempt to answer these questions and more about Life’s most basic principles. This book is meant to engage and catalyze the reader’s mind on a journey of discovery, wonder and awe as we explore and marvel at the wonders of Life and Evolution.
