    Thanks for the comprehensive detailed video on such a specific topic!
    I like the evolutionary hypothesis, it makes sense.

      You're welcome. I agree, the evolutionary hypothesis makes sense to me too. Some people tend think evolution is some kind of magical force for good, but there are also examples like this where it creates things we wish it didn't.

    All matter, living or otherwise, eventually ceases to exist. This is a consequence of entropy. The more time moves forward, the more everything becomes disordered.

      It's true that entropy increases in the overall system, but localized parts can become more organized (at the expense of other parts). As an example, the Earth becomes more organized (e.g., life etc.) because the increase in entropy of the sun outweighs it in the system as a whole (i.e., the solar system).
