Dear Jeffrey,
He probably can't com= but you would enjoy my friend and colleague Max Tegmerk.

I've been following up on your question about symmetry -- or l=ck thereof -- in biological systems. In fact,
the lack of=symmetry in biology seems to be related to my observation that most biolog=cal equilibria are unstable.
Stable equilibria lead to symmetrie=: think of a planet taking on a spherical form. Unstable equi=ibria don't
have this feature: the system breaks symmetry as=it seeks an exit from the equilibrium. Since biological
=div>equilibria are dynamic and ultimately unstable, we shouldn't expec= symmetric behavior. This shows
up in physics as well in =he form of spontaneous symmetry breaking.
Yours,<=div>
