We just might be some fancy minions of Lady Entropy, doing her very bidding......

So now, for thy contemplation
I tender unto thee.....

The Living Baryons ;

As the name suggests, this dark, ethereal, organic-yet-mechanical scroll tapestry visualizes the age-old wonder of What is life? It explores this purely in the context of modern physics, specifically non-equilibrium thermodynamics and complex systems.

The descending, divine-looking neon-violet herd of flames from the top represents the energy gradients (exergy) present in the sub-systems of the universe as they evolve under natural law and structure. These gradients are the drive behind any possible change, state transition or physical evolution in the universe. The three descending flame tapestries on the far left represent the natural, structural manner of this physical evolution.

At the very bottom, you see the wider, dimmer exhaust of these evolving flames, representing how any change or transition in the universe happens because exergy evolves but it evolves to spread and dissolve further into the thermodynamic background, following its natural tendency to reach equilibrium.

AND......., in the midst of it all, you see this organic over-collection—this dark collage of specially selected, complex non-equilibrium sub-systems: dissipative structures we call "The Living Baryons" or simply Life. The specific trajectories - dynamic whirlpools these systems evolve into, that still leave us in devastating awe by their sheer emergence and sophistication.

This piece just tries to stop for a second—a minute even—to drown in this awe, this devastating thermodynamic grandeur of the Living Baryons,

of LIFE..

And even poetically marveling that in the end we just might be some fancy minions of LadyEntropy doing her very bidding...........

one more thing : The pitch-black structure engulfing the 'standard fauna' is flora. It represents a more fundamental dissipative layer here. extracting and processing exergy from the Star's Light itself , sustaining the ecosystem’s order. Flora can exist without us; we cannot without flora.

1/3 A protein hit by an X-ray free-electron laser explodes in femtoseconds — yet that's when we record its structure. A new benchmark tests if simulations capture both ionisation and fragmentation. Would you trust a structure from an exploding molecule? #academicsky #biophysics #sciwri
