Dear Jeffrey,
He probably can't come but you would enjoy my friend and colleague Max Tegmerk.
I've been following up on your question about symmetry -- or lack thereof -- in biological systems. In fact,
the lack of symmetry in biology seems to be related to my observation that most biological equilibria are
unstable.
Stable equilibria lead to symmetries: think of a planet taking on a spherical form. Unstable equilibria don't
have this feature: the system breaks symmetry as it seeks an exit from the equilibrium. Since biological
equilibria are dynamic and ultimately unstable, we shouldn't expect symmetric behavior. This shows
up in physics as well in the form of spontaneous symmetry breaking.
Yours,
Seth
