Hi! I am a high school student fascinated by the phenomena of life. I've
just discovered the wonder of Usenet so I've been posted a lot recently.
One thing I want to ask is that what exactly happens when life leaves a
living organism. Physically I don't see anything much has happened. We
still got roughly, if not exactly, the same amount of matter there, but
still something must have happened, since it's now dead!
So what is it?
If we consider life as an open system could we say that it's gone though
bifurcation and has 'jumped' to another state which is commonly called
'death'?
Life is certainly a strange phenomena. If we construct a system and throw
in some nutrients and a living organism, some time later we find two
organisms in the system. But if we throw in a DEAD organism, nothing will
happen no matter how long we wait.
Isn't it kind of odd?
