Life continually has a greater tendency to appear to us, scientifically, as a specific effect of corpuscular complexity, allied to the building up of very large and very complex particles.
The two movements (life and entropy) are decidedly unequal in importance; but are they not in reality of the same amplitude, the same order, and in some way complementary to one another? And, in that case, in what form can we foresee the phenomenon’s final state of equilibrium? That last question may well be coming to sum up and express for the science of tomorrow, the essential riddle of the universe.
