The Physics of Darwinian Evolution

Abstract

This paper describes the physical (thermodynamic) laws that govern Darwinian Evolution. When one understands how to apply these laws of physics, it becomes clear how clinical, experimental, and empirical examples of Darwinian Evolution behave the way they do. In particular, this paper shows which thermodynamic laws need to be applied to model and describe the evolution of antimicrobial drug resistance and the diversification of cancer cells.
