No atom in you is alive.Only non-living atoms, arranged to continue.
Life does not require living atoms. Every atom in your body is non-living, yet together they form a system capable of metabolism, consciousness, thought and self-awareness.
The atoms themselves do not understand, feel or experience anything. Their interactions, however, create the complex biological processes that make life possible.
Perhaps one of the strangest facts about existence is that something that is not alive can become part of something that is.
So what exactly makes matter alive?
