Sigh. For anyone who has been studying biology, we have to admit that we have a difficult time getting close to understanding a complex phenomenon without any real explanation behind it. I think some people might find it frustrating that so few people ask:
How can we explain the difference between light and matter? How must life be controlled with atoms, molecules and even the smallest particles (the energy of water)? What is the energy needed to cause the structure of the entire cosmos in the light of matter's electrical potential? Are these mysterious forces that have so profoundly, profoundly affected our lives possible or just not such a thing?
I've tried to explain all of these issues to my students, but none of them seemed like this type of topic that I would necessarily have to address on a regular basis – but they have their own problems and don't feel like we should deal with them.
I could argue that I'm in favour of a simple theory, as long as it leads to a simple answer, but the basic structure of the universe and energy systems is more complicated. So maybe we would really want to be much more precise than that is. And certainly, some of us would be very interested in looking at such things.
