the-star-stuff: Biochemist publishes a paper solving the mystery of life, but no one understands it Case Western Reserve University biochemist Erik Andrulis has just published a paper about a discovery that goes way beyond the RNA he usually researches.

His 105-page paper is called “Theory of the Origin, Evolution, and Nature of Life,” and you candownload the whole thing for free from the peer-reviewed journal Life. The problem is that even sympathetic readers found the paper incomprehensible and (worse for scientists) untestable. PHOTOCREDIT: R.T.
