Unsolved Scientific Questions


Unsolved Scientific Questions
Forced incarceration at home made me to delve into some of my ten or more longstanding scientific (biological) inquiries, to which I have not found answers.

Global Warming and Coronavirus do not fall into them.

Dark Matter and Dark Forces elude me but it gives me some comfort that the Universe is Expanding (at a rate difficult to fathom by our imagination) and not contracting to a zero without a time dimension to place me in a relative position in the contracting system.

I do not believe at all, that the Universe came into being some 13 to 14 billion years ago by an unforeseen “Big Bang” but by a strange physical extortion/s of some sort that even started making Multi-Universes of unimaginable proportions which will limit our understanding (by the speed and the distance the light can travel in our sphere within the visible range) of the totality (if there is something called totality).

Of course, expansion gives the time concept that makes our limited lifespan some significance within our solar system but if the Universe was contracting our tiny lifespan will become tinier by the second and become non-existent in reality.

Introduction is compounding but my biological question will make you much more.

I believe that the beginning of life was an accident by design.

What we call binary devision happened at a point of time unknown.

I think it was RNA and not DNA that started life.

It was a single strand to begin with but became double stranded in the tail or the head end.

It acquired the polymerase activity (in that sense Coronavirus is no fluke in evolution).

The helical arrangement was conducive for DNA to come into existence and one could say virus like particles existed at some point of time in this physical world with no host to get attached to or become parasitic.

I have no clue how lipid membranes formed.

My guess work is at the seashore due to constant beating of the primordial soup with few chemicals to begin with.

I do not believe that life came from space through meteorites.

But meteorites would have contributed to the primordial soup.

What the primordial soup would have look liked, I have no clues.

How the lipids came int existence, I have no idea.

Primitive peptides and protein formation was possible by chance.

Membrane bound particles were important in the beginning.

Now I would leapfrog to a relative new time zone, leaving you wondering a big evolutionary (chunk) gap to assimilate by yourself.

Prokaryotes came first.

Eukaryotes came second.

Symbiosis was normal and early life was complimentary and prokaryotes became endosymbiotic and formed the energy factory the mitochondria.

There was no turning back from that point.

Even ectosymbiotic existence was complementary.

There was no need for sex differentiation in these symbiotic time era.

Evolving of Parasitic behaviour was an abnormally.

There was no need for life to “begin at all”, in a totally physical matter world.

What for?

To consume the matter laid before?
I wonder.

So looking for life elsewhere in the Universe is more circumspect.

Where to look for?

Complete binary division rarely happens in the physical world (it is not like crystals).

Life is a mystery of all in this Universe.

So protecting life from parasites including Coronavirus is mandatory.

By the way all the types of flu started from Hongkong, Singapore or China, except the Spanish flu in 1918-1919.

All started from animals.

Swine,birds and horses.

The current one is from bats.

The Chinese eat every living being on this planet.

To save life of this planet we have to become vegetarian sooner than late.
I think Americans also contribute to this saga by animal farming!
