From Energy Dissipation to Information Density: Metabolic Rate in the Geometry of Aging

Abstract

We study the relationship between basal metabolic rate and weight throughout life in humans. Our previous work has yielded tables and graphs with specific data. In this article, we discuss its relationship to the geometry of biological systems. We also address its relationship to the holographic description of biological systems in general. This allows us to approach the fundamentals of the aging process through its determinants: the size, shape, and dimension of living beings.
