Ever wondered about how did the Laws of physics got encoded in the very genetics of life on earth? We have chameleons who change color according to background... How does he know what wavelength exactly to reflect so that he actually blends into the background.
We have eggs whose shape allows efficient distribution of pressure along its major axis so that during hatching the weight of the bird wont crush it. Also its shape is mechanically designed such that, given the weight and density distribution on the embryo inside, if the egg starts rolling on a surface, it will automatically decelerate and come to a stop.
The explanation of all these creations in nature needs a deep understanding of the theory of evolution. Plainly saying that evolution is a phenomenon of chance will not suffice. In that case we can extrapolate life on a planet with g of 10 instead of 9.8 and we see shape of eggs flat instead of ellipsoid, and bones made up of a heavier element than Ca and average size of life decreased by fourfold. Physics has governed and regulated the evolution on earth and has deep presence in the very DNA of life.
very beautiful perspective.
