Hungarian mathematician John von Neumann (1903 – 1957) ... |
Von Neumann quite clearly understood and accepted the Theory of Evolution.
| Quote | | niwrad: Moreover we have the concept of “autotrophic” replicator. An autotrophic replicator is not a replicator that needs an external provider of basic parts, rather it can self-reproduce finding the necessary materials by itself in the wild. Biological cells are even autotrophic replicators. |
The "necessary materials" for many autotrophs being just air, water and a few dissolved minerals. |
Not sure what nirwad's first language is, but it isn't English. |
From previous encounters with niwrad at UD, I gather that he is Italian. I wonder if he is Giuseppe Sermonti.
