<p>A paper in the prestigious <em>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences</em> today describes “a missing law of nature,” recognizing for the first time an important norm within the natural world’s workings. </p> <p>In essence, the new law states that complex natural systems evolve to states of greater patterning, diversity, and complexity. In other words, evolution is not limited to life on Earth, it also occurs in other massively complex systems, from planets and stars to atoms, minerals, and more.</p&g...
