Assembly Theory - A breakthrough scientific paper co-authored by professor Lee Cronin has been touted as a ‘New Law of Nature’. Creating a mathematical formula that aims to predict evolution and the complexity of life.
Does mathematics have a place in predicting the complexity of life? This was a topic I could not wait to explore. Luckily the paper’s co-author, Professor Lee Cronin gave me an opportunity to pick his brain and see how we can mathematically categorise & predict the building blocks of life…
