Explaining permanent life from physics

What does life mean? Even the best of us cannot expect to answer this question in an article in the universe. But there are people who will at least try to “force” it in terms of physics. A new dissertation of Pankaj Mehta of the Boston University of Jin Kondo of Brandes that was recently posted Archeo The print print server sees how the basic stability of physics can be applied to life as we know – and even life as we do not yet know. Their idea does not necessarily answer the final question, but it apparently connects the two different fields well.

His work was influenced by Victor Weskov, an Austrian physician, who, by deriving the “first principles” of the physical permanent temperament that influenced our universe, derived many features of the material. In the 1970s, his work also eliminated the features of a very important type of material. DRS in the same place. Mehta and Condo stepped inside.

First of all, they had to explain “life”, which, if you ask someone in the biology, can have a difficult process in yourself. Their definition, which we have to accept for the purposes of explaining this idea, is that life is “a novel form of unbalanced self -organized material, which features highly sincere sovereignty.” In other words, life means to separate yourself from your environment (at least in terms of energy) and reproduce.

They go with this definition, they further explain the three basic features of life that give it “features”. The first is the “growth production”, which explains how much additional biomass can be manufactured in energy (usually a jool) per unit. The second is the least double time. The third is “minimal power consumption in the dormas”, which shows how much energy is needed to maintain its “separation” from the environment and maintain its integrity against the forces of chaos.

According to the article, each of these basic characteristics can be derived from the physical stability of the universe – especially the laws of quantum theory and thermodynamics. On the quantum scale, the permanent, the mass of an electron, the mass of the proton can be explained, such as the mass of light and the speed of light, such as the high -level permanent values ​​such as Bohr Radius (the size of the atom) and the Rudberg Energy (an electron’s energy). Thermal values ​​are similarly described by the Boltsman permanent and temperature, while the “dynamic time scale” which can be used to explain the time scales for biological duplication is based on the combination of both quantum and thermal permanent values.

When describing “growth production”, the authors calculate an ideal value based on the mass of a proton, mass of an electron, light, and a permanent value of excellent structure, which explains the power of electromagnetic interaction between basic particles such as proton and electrons. They calculate the output of ideal growth anywhere around 8×10^-7 G / Jul. However, for a carbon -based life, like us, it will not remain on the ideal number, and will increase to about 10.^-4 G/Jool according to the price observed for carbon -based life.

On the other hand, at least double time can be limited to one of the two ways. If there is enough energy to go around, the limited factor is the speed of the biochemical reaction that allows the number of cells to increase. On the other hand, if there is no sufficient energy, the development factor is limited to how quickly life can collect energy to reproduce. In both cases, the model described in the paper, which is based on the basic permanent prediction, is predicted as to how this measure is seen in the field at least on this scale. With supper energy, bacteria can double the size in a few hundred seconds, while with limited energy it can be doubled for hundreds of years between tens of days.

Fighting Entropy is hard work for a cell, as it permanently loses ions that maintain its “ion melan” that differentiates it from its environment. They escape the cell through “hole” in the cell due to changes in the thermal environment. This mechanism is based on both the thermal and dynamic permanent, and is calculated about 3 x 10.^-15 Whats/Cell. Again, it is compatible with the experimental values ​​of 10^-16 W / Cell.

With all the model values ​​well aligning these biological markers, well alignment with the experimental values, the authors said that their basic basis – physics laws obstructs cellular life. Mostly this model is useful as a framework to see how life in our universe is under the same physical laws, and life can be used to help separate from our own lives. It does a great job of advancing and expanding the vision of a complete framework from the bottom of the first principles of the universe with principles. Even in the name of life in the name of mood, which still lacks universal “meaning”, regardless of how many obstacles we put on it.
