What is life? Scientists have been trying to answer this question for years. They have come close many times but there is always an exception. They are still trying to find one without an exception.

An example of a denfintion of life is: An amanite object is an object that can reproduce. This would seem to be correct as plants and trees reproduce as well as many animals. There is some exceptions though. Mules, which are a breed between a horse and a donkey, cannot reproduce as well as some others cross breed animals.

Erwin Schrodinger wrote a scentific essay which he published in 1944 based on lectures he heard in trinity college in Dublin. He presented this essay to the presidetn of Ireland. This essay is called What is life? The Physical Aspect of the Living Cell.

Erwin Schrodinger’s main belief is that amamite objects have some sort of special energy that makes them alive. He was one of the last scientists in his time to express this belief.
