Molecules Viewed from Assembly Theory’s Perspective by Gemini

Can Assembly Theory Explain Life or God???

This Is A New Scientific Discipline!!!

Me and Advanced Google Gemini go around the bases with this. And, some awesome surprises turn up during this conversation! Enjoy.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson just had an episode on Star Talk where he interviewed a female scientist, who is a particle physicist. I didn’t get her name, sorry. But, she was discussing Assembly Theory. Do you know what this is, and can it explain abiogenesis?

You’re likely thinking of Sara Imari Walker, a theoretical physicist and astrobiologist known for her work on assembly theory. And you’re right, she’s been on StarTalk with Neil deGrasse Tyson discussing this very topic!

What is Assembly Theory?

Assembly theory proposes a new way to measure the complexity of objects, not just based on their structure, but on the minimal number of steps required to create them. Imagine building with LEGOs:

• A simple stack of bricks has low complexity.
• A detailed spaceship has high complexity, requiring many specific steps and arrangements.
