Life is herein defined as a negative entropic force responsible for information replication, molecular aggregation, and the phenomenon of EMERGENCE<\/a>. \u00a0It is the\u00a0force that evolved the replication of coded macromolecules. \u00a0A force that can be described using open system based equations of the second law of thermodynamics, density dependent<\/a> versions of the Lotka-Voltera equations<\/a>, and dissipation driven adaptive organization<\/a>.<\/h3>\n

Life can be modeled with Bayesian inference<\/a> to follow\u00a0 four different potential paths.<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Life is common and usually evolves intelligence.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n

    Life is common but intelligence is rare<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \n

    Life is rare but typically evolves intelligence<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  4. \n

    Life is rare and intelligence is rarer<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Analysis of these four models<\/a> favors the likelihood of\u00a0 life elsewhere in the universe compared to its rarity at 9:1\u00a0 and the likelihood of\u00a0 intelligence over non-intelligent\u00a0 life elsewhere\u00a0 3:2.\u00a0 These estimates are based on assuming the origin of life on earth occurred\u00a0 300 million years after its formation 4.5 billion years ago.\u00a0 \u00a0If life originated pre-earth then the likelihood of life on other earth like planets is even higher.<\/h3>\n

    Life\u00a0 started with\u00a0 the emergence of\u00a0 ATOMS<\/a> followed by simple molecules<\/a>, complex macromolecules <\/a>, molecular assemblies, ecosystems and then finally cells and viruses.\u00a0 The pathway to the first cells differentiated\u00a0 from viruses in that the molecular replication system in cells complexified\u00a0 while viruses maintained or regressed a primitive potentially pathogenic biochemistry.\u00a0 The interplay of viruses and cells\u00a0 is responsible for the evolution of higher life forms.\u00a0 \u00a0I call this interplay process Infectious Speciation.<\/h3>\n

    Life went through Major Transitions <\/a>throughout the Big Timeline <\/a>\u00a0that involved complexification of smaller molecules to larger and more complex molecules .<\/h3>\n
