Abstract

Since time immemorial people were puzzled by the phenomena of life; their lives, as well as the lives of other living beings. What is it that thing distinguishes living systems from inanimate objects? We know a great deal about many aspects of life which includes biochemistry, molecular biology, biology, medicine, psychology, sociology, and many more. Yet, we know that there are many things we still do not know much about. And there are also things that perhaps we shall never know.
