INTRODUCTION

Attempting to get an understanding of “Living Matter” (Life Forms / Living Organisms) seems to be the most fundamental / critical task.

Reality Check: We are totally clueless!

The Life wikipedia entry says:

There is currently no consensus regarding the definition of life. One popular definition is that organisms are open systems that maintain homeostasis, are composed of cells, have a life cycle, undergo metabolism, can grow, adapt to their environment, respond to stimuli, reproduce and evolve. Other definitions sometimes include non-cellular life forms such as viruses and viroids.

Further:

• Origin of Life (OOL) or Abiogenesis (study of the origin of biological life)
• Paper published in 2013 – “The origin of life: what we know, what we can know and what we will never know”.
