Have you ever seriously thought about the difference between living and non-living things?
Not metaphysically or spiritually, but literally. Let me explain. Lets take an elephant and a huge boulder of absolutely equal weight. The first runs and nibbles grass, the second lies motionless, warming up under the sun's rays. But from the point of view of molecular physics, they both consist of the same atoms. Only now one can interact with the outside world and influence it at his own discretion (for example, pour water on himself from his trunk or go to sleep under a palm tree), and the second cannot do anything, because he does not have what we call life . What is life anyway and what are its basic laws?
