Abstract
The article shows that the concept of «life» is fundamental not only for biology, but also for physics. We consider scientists’ attempts to define this concept through more general scientific categories than categories of biology. Such categories include information and entropy which help to treat life as an objectively existing structure. The article classifies fundamental physical features inherent in the concept of «life».
