Scientists Unveil Radical 'Missing Law' Explaining Universe's Evolution

Scientists have proposed a new scientific law called "the law of increasing functional information" that applies to the evolution of life, minerals, planets, stars, and other systems in the universe. The law states that systems evolve and become more complex over time when different configurations of the system undergo selection for one or more functions. This law expands on Darwin's theory of evolution by suggesting that non-living systems also evolve when novel configurations improve function. While some scientists praise the law as transformative, others argue that it may not be a new underlying principle but rather a manifestation of existing laws of physics and chemistry.
