NONLINEAR COOPERATIVE PROCESS. “As the second postulate, let us assume that, notwithstanding periodic but transient setbacks in the form of organizational relaxations and restructuring (which occur on multiple scales of space and time), the energy/matter comprising the Universe evolves from simplicity and disorder to complexity and order via self-organization, in accordance with the empirical laws of nonequilibrium thermodynamics (NET).” https://lnkd.in/eskBjS7b View in LinkedIn

The water impermeability of a plant cuticle is deceptive because the sprinkled stomata on these surfaces not only allow gas exchance in the plant but can actively absorb water also. View in LinkedIn

SUMMARY 5. “The finite size of photons is the cause of all optical phenomena at the interface between two media, as well as diffraction.” https://lnkd.in/eftm7VFM View in LinkedIn

SUMMARY 4. “The angular rotation of photons with continuous translational motion provides them with wave properties.” https://lnkd.in/eftm7VFM View in LinkedIn

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

SPECIAL PHOTONS. “Unlike a particle of matter that is characterized by its rest mass a photon is massless. In a vacuum, unlike a particle of matter that may vary its speed but cannot reach the speed of light, a photon travels at only one speed, which is exactly the speed of light.“ https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn
