| Feb 27 at 1:53 | comment | added | Conifold | @hyportnex As late as 1894:"It seemed to me then, and it still seems to me, most probable that the animal body does not act as a thermodynamic engine... The influence of animal or vegetable life on matter is infinitely beyond the range of any scientific inquiry hitherto entered on", quoted from Less Wrong. | |
