Steps towards Understanding of the Origins of Life
Abstract
Two highly interesting findings providing insights about the origins of life have emerged. 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 bricks of DNA and RNA. The crucial step is to make the solution involved slightly acidic by adding protons. For year later I learned that a variant of Urey-Miller experiment with simulation of shock waves perhaps generated by extraterrestrial impacts using laser pulses generates formamide and this in turn leads to the generation of all 4 RNA bases. There is however problem: the early atmosphere was assumed to be reductive and this probably not true. These findings, in particular the problem due to the reductivity, represent a fascinating challenge for TGD inspired quantum biology. The proposal is that in formamide is the unique amide, which can form stable bound states with dark protons and crucial for the development of life as dark matter-visible matter symbiosis. Local reductivity could be due to the formation of electron rich exclusions zones due to Pollack effect generating also dark protons at magnetic flux tubes. Dark protons would bind stably with unique amine leading to generation of purines and the 4 RNA bases. This would be starting point of life as symbiosis of ordinary matter and dark matter as large heff/h=n phases of ordinary matter generated at quantum criticality induced by say extraterrestrial impacts.
