摘要

生命的存在是天体物理学中最基本的问题之一。越来越复杂、似乎不太可能的生命体的有趣存在应该是宇宙中生命的普遍趋势。我们正在寻找控制任何天体物理环境中复杂性增长的一般物理定律。我们假设存在一个重要的标量场。这个标量对比熵逆的梯度很敏感，因此它在生物内部的分布趋向于非常高的值。除了经典的突变外，重要场驱动的突变只产生熵的减少。场方程推导出生命波的存在。这个理论既能解释生命的起源，也能解释生命的进化。我们表明，生命场加速了复杂性的增长。

AN ASTROPHYSICAL PERSPECTIVE OF LIFE. THE GROWTH OF COMPLEXITY

The existence of life is one of the most fundamental problems of astrophysics. The intriguing existence of progressively complex and apparently improbable living beings should be a general tendency of life in the Universe. We are looking for general physical laws governing the growth of complexity in any astrophysical environment. We posit the existence of a vital scalar field. This scalar is sensitive to the gradient of the inverse of specific entropy, such that its distribution tends to very high values in the interior of living beings. Besides the classical mutations, vital field driven mutations only produce decrements of entropy. The field equations give rise to the existence of vital waves. This theory is able to deal with both the origin of life and the evolution of life. We show that the growth of complexity is accelerated by the vital field.
