How is it possible for life in all its complexity to arise in a universe made up of simple atoms and molecules? What are the laws which govern the universe and make it possible, at a certain point in its evolution, for life to appear?
The scientists taking part in the discussion will attempt to answer some of these basic questions, which relate, inter alia, to the existence of nature’s most perfect creation – mankind.
