As far as I know, there isn't any definition of "life" that holds up to a physics standard.
Sure enough, we can talk about (bio) chemistry and the specific arrangements of certain molecules, but what I'm missing is a simple, physical definition of life. I know that Erwin Schroedinger once stated that "life is a system that shows negative entropy" (and considering his bizarre cat thought-experiment, one would assume that this was a bit tongue-in-cheek), but I am unaware of any following-up on this subject.
Enlightenment, please?
