In this podcast episode, Sara Walker, an astrobiologist and theoretical physicist, discusses the concept of life and its emergence in the universe. She challenges traditional definitions of life, proposing a more expansive definition that focuses on the process of how information structures matter over time and space. Walker explores the role of time in understanding life, introduces the concept of the technosphere, and delves into the origins of life on Earth. She also discusses chirality, the great inventions of evolution, the assembly theory, and the struggle for existence.
