This is a demonstration of the way in which
a complex organic structure can result from a simple set of rules being applied over and over again to a simple starting structure.
Based on a 3D image such as an MRI scan, Aspect's machine builds relatively
complex organic structures out of a «hydrogel» embedded within cells taken from the body and grown in a cell culture.
They look for simple mechanical causes that might account for the imperceptibly slow evolution of
complex organic structures.
Dawkins also shows a profound misunderstanding of what «intelligence» means, most probably because of his presumption that consciousness and «mind» are epiphenomena of
complex organic structures such as the brain.
Although the discovery doesn't prove that
complex organic structures originated in space, it does present strong evidence that the basic ingredients for living organisms exist elsewhere in the galaxy — and that they could be seeding many young planets with life's building blocks.
Not exact matches
However improbable in a mechanistic sense the elaborate
organic structure created by life may appear, it seems increasingly evident that the cosmic substance is drawn toward these states of extreme arrangement by a particular kind of attraction which compels it, by the play of large numbers in which it is involved, to miss no opportunity of becoming more
complex and thus achieving a higher degree of freedom.
Even more damning to the theory, is that even if those elements would become «
complex» within themselves, that they would find other «
complex structures» that were chemically attractive and form even the most rudimentary
organic building blocks of the far, far more
complex amino acids needed to create a very, very simple RNA molecule.
A rock, for example, is an inorganic
structured society, while a human being is an
organic complex structured society that includes a regnant personal society.

organic chemistry by launching conformational analysis, the study of the three - dimensional
structure of
complex molecules.
Now an international team of researchers led by Felix R. Fischer, Michael F. Crommie (University of California at Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory), and Angel Rubio (Max Planck Institute for the
Structure and Dynamics of Matter at CFEL in Hamburg and University of the Basque Country in San Sebastián) has imaged and resolved the bond configuration of reactants, intermediates and final products of a
complex and technologically relevant
organic surface reaction at the single - molecule level.
