HEALTH, LIFE, AGING (UK English: Ageing) AND EVOLUTION

For a time while it seemed that the information and complexity theories, allied along with genetics, were going to give us a comprehensive description of life and its characteristic processes such as aging (UK English: ageing). Years passed and later, we have learned that man has fewer genes than a banana or some fishes and monkeys, while definitions of entropy, another name for information, have proliferated as much as the its applications, making the term more and more increasingly fuzzy and less and less universal. The Complexity sciences have grown up under the cover* of the information explosion, but they have not brought much clarity, and [they] have certainly they have not made us any wiser. In this short article we do not intend to make a critically review of such a vast field; rather, on the contrary, instead we would like to point to out the real-life interest in and relevance for life of [using] much more simpler, basic, and physical categories.

* amparo implies 'protection' or 'refuge', but 'cover' is simply una cubierta, so this phrase doesn't translate directly to English unless you mean 'cover' in the sense of 'hiding' something, but I don't think that's what the original text is saying.

HEALTH, LIFE, AGING AND EVOLUTION

For a time it seemed that the information and complexity theories, when aligned allied with genetics, were going to give us a comprehensive description of life and its characteristic processes such as aging. Years have passed and we have learned that man has fewer genes than a banana or some fishes and monkeys.  (2)While definitions of entropy, another name for information, have proliferated as much as the applications, making the term more and more fuzzy and less and less universal. The complexity of this science (1) has grown up under the cover of the information explosion, but it has they have not brought much clarity, and certainly they has not made us any wiser. In this short article we do not intend to make a critical review of such a vast field; rather, on the contrary, we would like to point to the interest and relevance for life of much simpler, basic, physical categories.


Otra vez, excelente por un sujeto muy complejo.   1- “Science”, como la palabra “La gente” parece plural, pero es singular, pero en este contexto, creo que la usa de “science” es plural. Por ejemplo, “The sceince of aging”, significa mas de uno experimentos o 2 o mas universidades con experimentos.  2- Una sugerencia. Esta oración es muy larga y difícil comprender.
