What is Life Self-ReplicatingAutomata

There may or may not be a God. Or Gods. Yet there issomething ennobling about our search for the divine.And also something humanizing, which is reflected in eachof the paths people have discovered to take us todeeper levels of truth.

Some seek transcendence in meditation or prayers;others seek it in service to their fellow human beings;still others, the ones lucky enough to have the talent,seek transcendence in the practice of an art.

Another way of engaging life's deepest questions is science.Not that every scientist is a seeker; most are not.But within every scientific discipline there are those driven by a passion to know what is most essentially true about their subject.

Only a handful of scientists have the patience for this work.It is the riskiest kind of work, but the most rewarding:when someone answers a question about the foundations ofa subject, it can change everything we know.
