Books like What is life? The physical aspect of the living cell by Erwin Schrödinger


In 1944, physicist Erwin Schrödinger published "What Is Life?", a non‑fiction work aimed at the general reader. Drawing on a 1943 lecture series at Trinity College, Dublin, Schrödinger explored how events confined within living organisms could be accounted for through physical and chemical laws. He proposed the idea of an aperiodic crystal—an arrangement of covalent bonds encoding genetic information—which would later stimulate interest in the molecular nature of heredity and inspire researchers like Francis Crick and James Watson.
