What is Life?

Discover the groundbreaking theory behind the structure of all living organisms in the non-fiction science book "What is Life?" Written for the lay reader by physicist Erwin Schrödinger, based on his public lectures at Trinity College, Dublin, the book explores the question of how events in space and time within a living organism can be accounted for by physics and chemistry. Learn about the concept of an "aperiodic crystal" and its connection to genetic information, which inspired Francis Crick and James Watson's initial research in the 1950s.
