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!
