Does matter itself tend to copy itself? Or is replication merely an accident of biology?</em></p></blockquote> <p>Surprisingly, modern physics suggests a subtle but powerful answer:<br> <strong>replication is not a fundamental law — but once possible, it becomes statistically inevitable</strong>.</p>
