Abstract: A general law of universal maximally rapid entropy decrease unifies metabolism, mortality and evolution, yields their quantitatively accurate universal laws and singularities, proves that accidental premature mortality is relatively small and quantifies it, predicts that evolution may be continuous or followed by “weak” and “strong” spurts, leads to a definition of post-evolution and considers its probability, suggests an absolute instability of technological (terrestrial and extra-terrestrial) civilizations and allows for computer simulations of mortality and evolution.
