"New Biological Law Unveils Chaos as Key to Aging and Evolution"

TL;DR Summary
University of Southern California molecular biologist John Tower proposes a new universal law of biology called 'selectively advantageous instability,' which suggests that some level of instability is essential for life. This instability, while leading to resource loss and genetic mutations, is crucial for adaptation and complexity in biological systems, potentially explaining the process of aging.
