I'm a chemist by, like, original training. Like, that's what I used to do for a living. And it's so clear to me that (LAUGH) there is a very clear chemical definition of life, which is just any system that maintains itself far away from chemical equilibria, like, that keeps itself there, like, permanently. And, like, that video isn't gonna go anywhere, but they don't know that until they get a couple pieces of data on it.
