dust ‘comes alive’ in space
robert booth

scientists have discovered that inorganic material can take on the characteristics of living organisms in space, a development that could transform views of alien life.

an international panel from the russian academy of sciences, the max planck institute in germany and the university of sydney found that galactic dust could form spontaneously into helixes and double helixes and that the inorganic creations had memory and the power to reproduce themselves.

a similar rethinking of prospective alien life is being undertaken by the national research council, an advisory body to the us government. it says nasa should start a search for what it describes as “weird life” - organisms that lack dna or other molecules found in life on earth.

the new research, to be published this week in the new journal of physics, found nonorganic dust, when held in the form of plasma in zero gravity, formed the helical structures found in dna. the particles are held together by electromagnetic forces that the scientists say could contain a code comparable to the genetic information held in organic matter. it appeared that this code could be transferred to the next generation.

professor greg morfill, of the max planck institute of extra-terrestrial physics, said: “going by our current narrow definitions of what life is, it qualifies.

“the question now is to see if it can evolve to become intelligent. it’s a little bit like science fiction at the moment. the potential level of complexity we are looking at is of an amoeba or a plant.

“i do not believe that the systems we are talking about are life as we know it. we need to define the criteria for what we think of as life much more clearly.”

it may be that science is starting to study territory already explored by science fiction. the television series the x-files, for example, has featured life in the form of a silicon-based parasitic spore.

the max planck experiments were conducted in zero gravity conditions in germany and on the international space station 200 miles above earth.

the findings have provoked speculation that the helix could be a common structure that underpins all life, organic and nonorganic.

abstract. complex plasmas may naturally self-organize themselves into stable interacting helical structures that exhibit features normally attributed to organic living matter. the self-organization is based on non-trivial physical mechanisms of plasma interactions involving over-screening of plasma polarization. as a result, each helical string composed of solid microparticles is topologically and dynamically controlled by plasma fluxes leading to particle charging and over-screening, the latter providing attraction even among helical strings of the same charge sign. these interacting complex structures exhibit thermodynamic and evolutionary features thought to be peculiar only to living matter such as bifurcations that serve as `memory marks', self-duplication, metabolic rates in a thermodynamically open system, and non-hamiltonian dynamics. we examine the salient features of this new complex `state of soft matter' in light of the autonomy, evolution, progenity and autopoiesis principles used to define life. it is concluded that complex self-organized plasma structures exhibit all the necessary properties to qualify them as candidates for inorganic living matter that may exist in space provided certain conditions allow them to evolve naturally.

the wisdom of your cells: part 3

every cell is an intelligent organism. you can remove it from the body, put it into a petri dish and it will manage its own life: handle the environment, grow, reproduce and form communities with other cells. in the human body we are dealing with a vast community of cells working together in harmony. in a culture dish, cells behave as individual entities. however, in a body cells act as a community; individuals really cannot do whatever they want because then the coherence of the group will fall apart. therefore, when cells come together in a community they acquire a central intelligence that is involved with coordinating the activity of the individual cells in the group. the cells actually defer to the higher order of that central voice. a human organism is a community of upwards of fifty trillion cells operating in unison and harmony, trying to conform to the requests and demands of that central voice. and it is the central voice that acquires and learns the perceptions that we must deal with throughout our lives.

there are three sources of life-controlling perceptions. source number one is genetics, which provides for instincts common to all humans, basic things such as automatically pulling your hand out of the fire. a second set of perceptions is derived from the subconscious mind, the part that controls all the functions we don't have to think about. once you learn how to walk, the program to control walking becomes part of the subconscious mind. you just have to have the intention of walking and the brain will coordinate the behavior. the third source of perceptions is from the conscious mind. the conscious mind can rewrite any of the subconscious programs you acquired and you can even go back and change the genetic activity. the conscious mind is unique because it can change an entire history of perceptions in order to engage in different behaviors and life styles.

how babies learn

in human development, when a sperm and egg come together their fate is presumed to be controlled by the inherited genes. the role of the woman in fetal development has primarily been restricted to her contribution in regard to nourishment via the components of her blood that pass through the placenta to the fetus. but her blood contains a lot more than just nutrition. blood contains all of the information molecules as well, such as hormones and emotional chemicals. the mother is always adjusting her physiology and her emotions to deal with the contingencies of life. since her blood via the placenta is directed to the fetus, the fetus is experiencing and feeling what the mother senses. this is a super-intelligent idea on the part of mother nature. since the fetus, when it is born, is going to live in the same environment that the mother perceives, the mother is helping the fetus “adjust” to current world conditions. if the mother perceives the world as threatening, this sends completely different signals to the fetus than if she perceives the world as a warm, supporting place.

when stress hormones cross the placenta they have exactly the same target sites in the fetus as they have in the mother. they cause the fetal blood vessels to be more constricted in the viscera, sending more blood to the periphery, preparing the fetus is for a fight/flight behavioral response. in a developing fetus this is going to enhance the development of the musculoskeletal system and make a bigger body, with a coordinated increase in the hind-brain function to control that response. in a truly unstable world, this mother is creating a child that will have a great advantage because its ability to be a fighter and survive is greatly enhanced. yes, the genes control the unfolding of a body plan but how you enhance some organs and take away from other organs is based on the flow of information chemicals that are transported from the mother's blood into the placenta.

it is now recognized that when the child is born he is fully capable of experiencing almost all the emotions of adults. newborns can express rage, jealousy, anger, love and sadness. it turns out that both the mother and father are actually tailoring and shaping the child’s physiology and behavior to fit into their world. if the parents find the world troubling, their child will be affected. for example, when parents do not want a child, this information, in the form of emotional chemistry, is crossing the placenta! the fetus already knows that its support is not guaranteed. it is clearly important for us to recognize that creating a child is a very important, dynamic, interactive process between the parents and the fetus. in fact, recent understanding in human pathology clearly reveals that issues that affect us as adults, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and obesity, actually have their roots in the peri-conceptual, fetal and neonatal phases of life. the conditions under which a child is developing in utero profoundly shape her for the rest of her life in regard to behavior and physiology

when the child is born, it will stare into the faces of its parents and within hours it learns to read their facial expressions. the reason for this is very important—the facial expression of the parent serves to instruct the infant about its new world. as the child explores its world, if he encounters something “new” and the parent’s face expresses concern or fear, it immediately learns that thing should be avoided. the child will back away from whatever he perceives as threatening, and that is a healthy response for his life. through this bonding and in all their interactions, the parents are programming the responses of the child. when parents are not there and do not follow through on this bonding, it leads to problems in development, referred to as an attachment disorder. such children have trouble focusing and express characteristics similar to attention-deficit disorder. science has documented how responses to the world that we acquired from our parents are profoundly important in shaping our own physiology, our health and the diseases that we may experience later in life.

fitting into society

here is how a child learns to rapidly fit into society: a child’s brain can download experiences at a super high rate of speed. from the moment a child is born through about the first six years of life she is in a super-learning state. children learn and assimilate from how we treat them and how we respond to each other. we understand through hypnosis that you can download information into someone’s subconscious mind and bypass the conscious mind. why is this relevant? because between birth and age six, the child’s eeg brain activity is operating in a hypnotic trance state, so that whatever the child is learning is being downloaded into the subconscious mind. the subconscious mind “records” and habitually plays back these programs. think about all the rules of society, about every way we live, the nuances of our language. a three-year-old child can learn three different languages at the same time and not confuse their grammar, vocabulary or syntax. by age eight or nine just learning one new language is difficult. what is the difference? when the child is under six, the conscious mind is not developed so it does not interfere with the programming. observed life experiences are directly downloaded into the subconscious mind. at this time, the child also develops an idea of self-identity and these programs play throughout life.

the power of the mind

we are powerful and we are capable of doing things that are called miracles. miracles are actually events that science does not understand yet. very profound miracles happen every day. for example, some people have cancer and suddenly their perception changes and they may experience spontaneous remission. by changing their perceptions of life, they reprogram their cells. that is the expression of epigenetic mechanisms, molecular processes that give the power back to the individual. rather than perceiving that “we are victims of the cells,” the new science recognizes the power that we have to control the cells.

...miracles are actually events that science does not understand yet...

apparently within a book "the black swan" there's suggestion that improbable events happen all the time. the name was derived from the discovery of black swans in australia, something previously considered impossible. it may be that "miracles" could be thought of as a sort of improbable event, and so may be considered scientifically using such a "black swan" theory.

[SuperManny]

man, i love this guy! a real honest-to-goodness scientist who has scientifically proven that we are not at the mercy of our biology, but instead we create it on a moment by moment basis. he was on 'coast to coast am' recently and i thoroughly enjoyed it!

he has a unique idea about reincarnation. according to him, since consciousness creates biology, when we die, the body merely ceases to exist for a time, then when we reincarnate, the same consciousness recreates essentially the same biology all over again. for instance if our organs were preserved and we reincarnated they could be transplanted in us with zero risk of rejection, etc..

dna discoveries linked to paranormal?

south korea. as prince charles will tell you, talking to plants or playing them soothing music can accelerate their growth. now comes news that suggests he was right after all. scientists in south korea claim to have identified genes that can "hear” and have discovered which sounds enhance the growth of plants.

they monitored gene expression in rice plants – the process by which their dna code is translated into instructions for biological processes such as growth. russian scientists experimenting with dna have also claimed that it plays a vital role in certain paranormal phenomena.

in the south korean experiments, researchers led by mi-jeong jeong of the national institute of agricultural biotechnology in suwon, played 14 different classical pieces to rice plants. they found that sounds at specific frequencies – 125hz and 250hz – made certain genes more active, and beethoven’s moonlight sonata was once of the pieces which had this beneficial effect, whereas waves at 50hz made them less active.

the genes in question (rbcs and ald) are known to respond to light, so the scientists repeated their experiments in the dark, with the same results. according to the new scientist the researchers speculate that the production of chemicals that lead to the genetic changes they observed could be harnessed to activate other specific genes that could trigger the flowering of crops.

but it also quoted sceptical scientists who suggested that other factors, such as the wind, could “drown out” the effects of the sound. it was also suggested that too few samples had been analysed for the results to be trusted.

intersting of course, and what positive possibilities can be made out of this... but shall we also fear some negative ones to, from misuse? hope not...

perhaps ot, but i also began to think about the old comic about "dr. david banner" and his giant green alter ego, after being hit by that gamma ray.. :d

the biological chip in our cells

revolutionary results of modern genetics
by grazyna fosar and franz bludorf
light is in principle the oldest and most important food of the world, and still in addition - understood as electromagnetic wave - a perfect storage medium.

we know today that life in the universe is a process which is always swiming against the river. physics predicts that everything in nature is going towards a condition of a thermal equilibrium. with every energy consuming process always also warmth is produced, which cannot be completely reconverted into work energy. this is well-known to each power station operator.

the universe favours disorder and decay rather than order and structure.

in such an environment an organism can temporarily exist only because it constantly supplies new order structures to its body using energy , briefly said: by taking up food regularly.

for this the plants found the simplest and most direct way. with help of their leaf pigment chlorophyll they developed a procedure, in order to produce sugar from carbon dioxide of air and water using light. plants thus predominantly nourish themselves from light. they take up energy and order condition from light particles (photons), which they integrate into their organism, thus robbing them their freedom of movement and building up own order conditions of their bodies again and again.

the animals and humans however have a metabolism which is based not on chlorophyll, but on haemoglobin, the red blood coloring material. they therefore cannot convert light to food by photosynthesis, but have to nourish themselves eating plants or other animals. they are thus rather parasites of the plant world, which also could exist without us - we however not without them. we should always keep this in mind, when we clear further forests from pure profit thinking.

light nevertheless plays a crucial role for animal and human life too. not only, because we become depressive if we do not expose our body with sufficient light (especially in winter).

german bio physicist fritz albert popp investigates for years the phenomenon of biophotons, a natural light radiation, which is emitted from each living organism. this bio photon radiation is very weak and may be made visible only by substantial reinforcement in the darkroom.

popp and its coworkers made the amazing observation that the radiant emittance was always stronger at the beginning, briefly after they brought a tissue probe into the darkroom, and then slowly decreased to a stable value, the normal bio photon radiation.

that means, that our body cannot only emit light, but also may take up light from the environment, which is naturally in the darkroom no longer possible, whereby it comes to the observed decrease. thus something inside our body may store light energy, which is a proof that we nourish ourselves to a small percentage directly of light too, independently of the food which we eat.

it turned out soon that the looked for light memory of our body is nothing else than the dna. it is well known that the dna is also most deeply involved into the bio photon radiation.

dna unraveled
a 'scientific revolution' is taking place, as researchers explore the genomic jungle
by colin nickerson, globe staff | september 24, 2007

the science of life is undergoing changes so jolting that even its top researchers are feeling something akin to shell-shock. just four years after scientists finished mapping the human genome - the full sequence of 3 billion dna "letters" folded within every cell - they find themselves confronted by a biological jungle deeper, denser, and more difficult to penetrate than anyone imagined.

"science is just starting to probe the wilderness between genes," said john m. greally, molecular biologist at new york's albert einstein school of medicine. "already we're surprised and confounded by a lot of what we're seeing."

a slew of recent but unrelated studies of everything from human disease to the workings of yeast suggest that mysterious swaths of molecules - long dismissed as "junk dna" - may be more important to health and evolution than genes themselves.

meanwhile, a tricky substance called rna - for decades viewed as the lowly "messenger boy " for genes and proteins - turns out to be a big league player in cell function. it may even represent the cell's command and control system, according to its more vigorous proponents.

in any event, lots of basic biological beliefs are going out the window these days as new discoveries come so rapid-fire that the effect is almost more disorienting than illuminating.

the discoveries have one common theme: cellular processes long assumed to be "genetic" appear quite often to be the result of highly complex interactions occurring in regions of dna void of genes. this is roughly akin to wall street waking to the realization that money doesn't make the world go 'round, after all.

"it's a radical concept, one that a lot of scientists aren't very happy with," said francis s. collins, director of the national human genome research institute. "but the scientific community is going to have to rethink what genes are, what they do and don't do, and how the genome's functional elements have evolved.

"i think we're all pretty awed by what we're seeing," collins said. "it amounts to a scientific revolution."
