- W1656190624 abstract "Q.M. is usually regarded as a theory which applies to the micro-structure of matter. Many decisive processes occur in the atomic realm. The structure of molecules plays an important role in the functioning of living systems. It is therefore natural to ask whether Q.M. could provide a key to the understanding of life. In earlier times, there existed a common belief in the presence of a “life force” or some “vital” element in living substances which distinguishes them from dead or inanimate ones. However, serious scientific analysis of living organisms over a long period of time has not revealed the existence of a life force or vital element, this search being similar to that for the existence of a “heat substance” in matter in earlier times. In fact, an exclusion principle seems to operate in the very examination of life processes. In order to study accurately the composition and structure of an organism, say a bacterium, under an electron microscope, one has to kill it before one is able to do so. With the help of the physico-chemical apparatus one can analyze physical questions about the size, structure, and even the molecular composition of living systems, but this analysis eludes the question: What is life?KeywordsWave FunctionLiving SystemBiological PhenomenonDissipative StructureLife ProcessThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
