Indeed, their existence to people arrogantly and defiantly violate the second law termOdinmiki. Under this law, all physical processes are ultimately directed toward entropy (termOdinmicheskogo equilibrium), though there was clearly an organic life of the entropy towards peace. Let's try to boil the kettle and turn off the gas burner. Through ennoe amount of time the water temperature in a teapot equals the air temperature. This is the rough model of action of entropy. If there is no power feed from the outside, any physical body (matter) tends to come into equilibrium with the environment, closer to the most chaotic state. In this sense, the objective being of matter - energy - the most uniform (and in the heat, and in the dynamic sense) dispersal in space. So, in this coherent logical framework, "as illegal in terms of comet raschislennyh Light, found organic life, striving to resist entropy, providing a model antientropiynuyu life. Inside the human body (like all other types of organic matter) is a kind of "gas burner" for a certain period of work. A living organism - a streamlined structure, with the help of metabolism (metabolism) of opposing shift in the balance with the environment. However, even in 1955, Erwin Shredinger objected to the primitive interpretation of metabolism as the basis for life. "... It would be absurd, - he wrote - that it was mainly the metabolism. Every atom of nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, etc. as well as any other atom of that element. As they reached the exchange? One time, our curiosity met assertion that we have energy. In some of the restaurants you could find a menu indicating the price of each dish and the contents of energy (calories). and nothing to say that this is absurd, because in the adult organism the energy content as constantly as the content matter. Every calorie is, of course, has the same value as any other, so you can not understand what can help a simple exchange of calories. " What, then, is a precious thing in our diet that protects us from death? It is easy to answer, says Shredinger. "Every process, event, event (call it as you want), in short, everything that happens in nature, an increase of entropy in a part of the universe, where it is. And a living organism continually increases its entropy, or otherwise , produces positive entropy, and thus closer to a dangerous state of maximum entropy, a death. He can avoid this condition, that is to stay alive, but constantly learning from his environment negative entropy, which is something very positive, as we now see. The negative entropy - that is what an organism eats. Or, to express it less paradoxically, substantially in the metabolism of that organism able to escape from all the entropy, which he had to make, yet he is alive. " Explaining the mechanism of delayed transition to a living organism termOdinmicheskomu equilibrium (ie, death), sprawl phrase "negative entropy" Shredinger replaces the term "entropy, taken with negative sign, which" is itself a measure of order. "The human body can withstand the death of , supporting themselves only at a sufficiently high level of order. To do this he needs to extract order willows environment in order to compensate for Entropy processes in cells. This is why a living organism can not eat the chemicals in its original form, that is - at a low stage of ordering . We need to supply is a well-ordered state of matter in a more or less complicated organic compounds. The next question we ask ourselves, based on the theory of "negative entropy", is: why are we all the same die, despite the fact that we can perfectly eat "organic order"? Die, even millionaires, who can absorb the "negative entropy" of any quality and quantity. The point is that opposition to the entropy in our body manages the special program is built into our genes. The program is designed for a certain period of work, after which the drive belts governance body rush, and the body begins to break down in parts. (On the question of who has laid in our program, we will return.) Previously, scientists believed that human cells can share a countless number of times. But Leonard Hayflik found sad for us the quality of cells - the limit of their division. Thus, a brilliant guess Schro"dinger confirmed the similarities between the clock mechanism and organism. This similarity, in the words of physics, simply and exclusively limited to the fact that the latter is solid - aperiodic crystal forming the hereditary substance is not subject to the effects of random thermal motion. "But please do not put me in charge - coquettishly Shredinger justified - that if I would call chromosome threads" teeth organic machine, "but at least do not do this without reference to the profound physical theory, which is based on similarity. Because it really does not need more rhetoric, to recall the main difference between them and the biological justification for the case of epithets - the new and unprecedented. The most striking differences are, first, the peculiar distribution of "teeth" in the multi body and, secondly, that a single tooth - a structurally unstable human product, a beautiful masterpiece ever created by the grace of the Lord of quantum mechanics.
