One Step Closer to Understanding the Origins of Life

Abstract

The group led by Thomas Carell has made an important step in the understanding the origins of life. They have identified a mechanism leading to the generation of purines A and G which, besides pyrimidines A,T (U), are the basic building blocks of DNA and RNA. The crucial step is to make the solution involved slightly acidic by adding protons. In TGD-based model of quantum biology, this suggests that the protons in the acidic water are dark and the attachment of the dark protons to the amines of the amino-pyrimidine transforms them to ordinary protons and makes the amino-pyrimidine non-reactive. However, There would be one exception: The amine which reacts further to give purines as a reaction product. In this case, the proton would remain dark and the chemical properties of the amine would remain intact. The TGD based model for cold fusion and the recent results about superdense phase of hydrogen identifiable in TGD framework as dark proton sequences giving rise to dark nuclear strings provides support for this picture.
