The Emergence of Life: From Chemical Origins to Synthetic Biology
Life emerges from the realm of the non-living as a new kind of organization of matter . Life is not distinguished by what it is made of, but by how it is put together, and how it behaves.

Life is order out of chaos. Life is cold becoming warmth. So alien life was seen as scientifically unlikely. But then came a new hypothesis that says no, actually, as heat is added to groups of atoms those atoms organise to receive that energy.
