This month's video is "An Informational Theory of Life," a talk by astrobiologist and theoretical physicist Sara Imari Walker. Dr. Walker discusses assembly theory: a theory of life and its origins that finds that life is the only way to create complex objects, and that the existence of complex objects is fundamentally and quantifiably rare. 

The conversation will be facilitated by the User Experience Librarian, Jordan Moore.

This event is drop-in only and does not require registration. 

retroTECH’s Long Now Lecture Series is part of our efforts to create the future by exploring and preserving our technological pasts.
