imagine a volume more than one sextillion,
sextillion, sextillion, times greater than the
Einsteinian universe (p. 34).
The probability for a single molecule of high
dissymmetry to be formed by the action of
chance and normal thermic agitation remains
practically nil. Indeed, if we suppose 500
trillion shakings per second (5x1014), which
corresponds to the order of magnitude of light
frequency (wave lengths comprised between
0.4 and 0.8 microns), we find that the time
needed to form, on an average, one such
molecule (degree of dissymmetry 0.9) in a
material volume equal to that of our terrestrial
globe is about 10243 billions of years
(1 followed by 243 zeros) (p. 34).
But we must not forget that the earth has only
existed for
two billion years
and that life
appeared about one billion years ago, as soon
as the earth had cooled (1x109 years)
(p. 34).
Life itself is not even in question but merely
one of the substances which constitute living
