Passive Energy Sources. Life and Death

This essay examines the nature of life and death in the Observable Universe.

It acknowledges the method and constraints of the essay.

It establishes the definitions of life, non-life and death.

It then establishes the traits of life, non-life and death.

It then establishes if the Universe, Observable Universe, Galaxies, Stars, Earth, Life Forms on Planets; Earth; Humans, Chemicals, Atoms, Protons, Neutrons, Electrons and Quanta have these traits.

From this it proposes a new definition, sequence and reason for Life and Death.

Finally conclusions are drawn.

Method and Constraints

This essay uses a delayed examination of these issues to allow for the constraints of the maximum speed of light in a pure vacuum which forces humans to sense, perceive, examine, output, communicate all things at a delay. It acknowledges that humans can only perceive the Observable Universe in the past as a series of interference patterns of holograms of past events.

Definitions.

Life.

‘the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death.’

Source: https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#safe=strict&q=Def+Life&spf=1499673727681

Non- Life and Life.

‘For both Non-Life and Life it can be stated that both developed from the same origin and process.

They have been previously considered as separate. They can be shown to be the same.’

‘Non-Life and Life, sensing, perception and communication should not be considered separate.

They are fundamentally only quantifiable flows of nuclear and electromagnetic energy evolution into chemistry between locations in an environment in space-time.’

Death.

‘the permanent ending of vital processes in a cell or tissue.’

Traits of Non-Life and Life.

If a system is ‘not-alive’ or ‘alive’ it should have traits of age, duration, interaction, decomposition, recycling and recombination.

These traits should follow the inherent randomness of evolution, be governed by natural selection, take place within a larger environment and follow the laws of conservation of energy and thermodynamics.

Traits of Death.

If a system is ‘dead’ it should have no traits of age, duration, interaction, decomposition and recycling and recombination.

These non - traits should still follow the inherent randomness of evolution, be governed by natural selection, take place within a larger environment and follow the laws of conservation of energy and thermodynamics.

A New Definition for Life and Death.

Life and Death are human names for the decay, recycling and recombination processes of the Observable Universe.

They are fundamentally quantifiable flows of nuclear and electromagnetic energy evolution into chemistry between locations in an environment.

They are however only sensed in the past and so Life and Death must only be defined as physical definitions and coordinates on a tensor grid called space-time.

A New Sequence for Life and Death.

The new sequence for Life and Death is the observed decay, recycling and recombination process flowing through the tensor grid called space –time.

The Observable Universe can be consider to retain its decaying, recycling and recombination capabilities until it reaches thermal equilibrium. Once this is achieved the Observable Universe will be considered unreactive and so dead.

If the decay, recycling and recombination theory is taken further then after reaching thermal equilibrium any interaction within the Observable Universe would replicate the conditions at the original singularity and restart the decay, recycling and recombination sequence.

A New Reason for Life and Death.

The decay, recycling and recombination process is an indicator of the natural selection principle, survival of the fittest and the need for constant adaption, competition, evolution through predation processes to survive.

Examining the timescales involved indicates that the smaller components of the Observable Universe are recycled more quickly than the larger more complex ones.

This follows the same principles as the flow of energy through the Food Chain and so the Observable Universe can be analogous to an ultimate predation organism feeding on everything inside it and each of its components predating on the system above it to maintain their evolution duration.

The remnants of the proposed decay, recycling and recombination predation processes of humans can be quantified by comparing the number of dead humans to the number of living humans on Earth.

The total number of humans who have ever lived on Earth can be estimated at 107,000,000,000.

The total Number of humans living on Earth is over 7,000,000,000.

The total number of dead humans who have ever lived on Earth can therefore be estimated at 100,000,000,000.

This gives a ratio of dead humans to living humans on Earth of 14 dead for 1 living.

Source: https://sites.google.com/site/architecturearticles/home/article-093---the-human-timetable-for-life

There must be decay, recycling and recombination predation processes for this ratio to exist.

The remnants of decay, recycling and recombination processes appears to be constrained to exist within their original formation location in the tensor grid of space time.

In the case of the Earth all of the potential remnants of decay, recycling and recombination predation processes are caught in the gravity well of the Sun and Earth and will remain there until the gravity well collapses as the Sun dies in approx. 5,000,000,000 years.

Then all of the remnants of decay, recycling and recombination predation processes will be flung out into space to form new nebula, stars, planets and life forms again.

This process continues until thermal equilibrium is reached in the Observable Universe.

Conclusions

The definitions of life and death, non-life and life have been examined and found to be out of date.

The new definition of Life and Death is that they are physical descriptions and coordinates on a tensor grid called space-time.

The new sequence for the movement of the physical descriptions across the coordinates of the tensor grid is, decomposition, recycling and recombination.

The processes are not designed. They are not intelligent. They are random. They are evolutionary. They are controlled by natural selection.

Non-Life and Life have traits of age, duration, interaction, decomposition, recycling and recombination.

These traits follow the inherent randomness of evolution, are governed by natural selection, take place within a larger environment and follow the laws of conservation of energy and thermodynamics.

The traits of Death are the non-existence of traits of life.

Evidence for these traits in nature are observed and quantified in the Observable Universe, Galaxies, Stars, Earth, Life Forms on Planets; Earth; Humans, Chemicals, Atoms, Protons, Neutrons, Electrons and Quanta.

Humans have society conditioned beliefs about their origin and their continuing existence after death.

These beliefs can be shown; by the data previously defined; to be part of natural processes and not related to myth mythological, supernatural, or spiritual unprovable states described through human language deficiencies.
