SO ENDS this second weekend on this truly stunning article. It is so refreshing to hear established academics break with the tiered old saw that life is a once-only exceptional event and that Earth is the only place this miracle occurred. Clearly piffle derived from tiered old religious thinking. Equally that there is a sharp line between life and non-life, rather than life being emergent from non-life. https://lnkd.in/eskBjS7b View in LinkedIn
ABUNDANT COSMIC LIFE. “One of the important ramifications of the SOFT-NET interpretation is that living matter and consciousness, both being natural consequences of the evolution and self-organization of nonliving matter, may turn out to be highly abundant in the Universe at large.” https://lnkd.in/eskBjS7b View in LinkedIn
LIFE AS A CONSEQUENCE OF MATTER. “In other words, life is likely to be a rule rather than an exception in the Universe at large. This may mean that the living Earth grows and develops in an invisible competition with a great variety of alien life forms, which grow and develop throughout the Universe, feeding on the (same) flow of energy/matter that makes up the Universe.” https://lnkd.in/eskBjS7b View in LinkedIn
LIFE AS A CONTINUUM. “If we assume that the main difference between living matter and nonliving matter is that of organization, then life is a natural consequence of the evolution of nonliving matter.” https://lnkd.in/eskBjS7b View in LinkedIn
BIOMASS ACCUMULATION. “Notice that, since the Earth's biomass has been continuously increasing over macroevolutionary time at an accelerating pace, it appears that living matter as a whole grows by extracting and assimilating electrons and protons from nonliving matter at an accelerating rate.” https://lnkd.in/eskBjS7b View in LinkedIn
PRECONDITION. “Large-scale, organized electron flow becomes much more feasible in far-from-equilibrium conditions, as compared to the equilibrium state.” https://lnkd.in/eskBjS7b View in LinkedIn
THE ELECTRONIC FLUX. “Although different organisms (or the same organisms under different circumstances) may use different chemical species as sources of and sinks for electrons and protons, what appears to be always and everywhere present is a continuous and rapid flow of electrons and protons passing through each and every living organism.” https://lnkd.in/eskBjS7b View in LinkedIn
