“Three principles - the conformability of nature to herself, the applicability of the criterion of simplicity, and the utility of certain parts of mathematics in describing physical reality - are thus consequences of the underlying law of the elementary particles and their interactions.

The complexity of the living things has to be present within the material, from which they are derived, or in the laws, governing their formation.”
