I find this interesting. A new equation for life? Personally I believe that all and everything is alive. The equations should be for classifications of life and not for an on or off switch.

Yeah I would've thought that wouldn't be possible seeing as scientists are still being surprised to this very day at new species they find living in habitats previously thought as inhospitable.
