From: Seth Lloyd < To: "Jeffrey E." <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Date: Sat, 25 Feb 2017 16:49:17 +0000 Dear Jeffrey, He probably can't come but you would enjoy my friend and colleague Max Tegmerk. I've been following up on your question about symmetry -- or lack thereof -- in biological systems. In fact, the lack of symmetry in biology seems to be related to my observation that most biological equilibria are unstable. Stable equilibria lead to symmetries: think of a planet taking on a spherical form. Unstable equilibria don't have this feature: the system breaks symmetry as it seeks an exit from the equilibrium. Since biological equilibria are dynamic and ultimately unstable, we shouldn't expect symmetric behavior. This shows up in physics as well in the form of spontaneous symmetry breaking. Yours, Seth On Sat, Feb 25, 2017 at 6:12 AM, jeffrey E. <[email protected]> wrote: Ill be in santa fe all week, anyone i shoudl invite to ranch that you think cutting edge please note The information contained in this communication is confidential, may be attorney-client privileged, may constitute inside information, and is intended only for the use of the addressee.
