Your body is made of matter, just like everything else. But the atoms you\u2019re built from today won\u2019t be the atoms you\u2019re built from in a year. That means you and every other living thing aren\u2019t an inert object, like a rock, but a dynamic pattern playing out over time. The real challenge for physics, however, is that the patterns that make up life are self-organized. Living systems both create and maintain themselves in a strange kind of loop that no existing machine can replicate. Think about the cell membrane, which enables a cell to stay alive by letting some chemicals in while keeping others out. The cell creates and continually maintains the membrane, but the membrane is also itself a process that makes the cell.<br \/>\n\u2014 Read on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/science\/2025\/12\/physics-life-reductionism-complexity\/685257\/?gift=j9r7avb6p-KY8zdjhsiSZ46iseuVIG9aTScGGlx4RuQ\">www.theatlantic.com\/science\/2025\/12\/physics-life-reductionism-complexity\/685257\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For one thing, the organization of living matter defies physicists\u2019 usual expectations about the universe.
