36grit Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 We theorize that the Higgs boson makes things massive. I wonder if there is a similar particle that makes things living? We hear terms like "life force". and "Life energy", but are there any theories as to a life force particle that interacts with with life possible chemistery? We can see plainly that living things eat other living things to extract the energy they need to survive as a living thing. If we could discover such a particle we may be able to better pinpoint planets worthy of further investigation in the near star traveling future. Perhaps scan mars and titan for such particles. I don't know, what do you think?

Life force ie vitalism was disproved a couple centuries ago.. We can see plainly that living things eat other living things to extract the energy they need to survive as a living thing. If we could discover such a particle we may be able to better pinpoint planets worthy of further investigation in the near star traveling future. Perhaps scan mars and titan for such particles. I don't know, what do you think? The energy is chemical, nothing more... 1
