1 PROGRESSIVE EVOLUTION the INHERENT PROPERTY of AQUEOUS SYSTEMS Vladimir Voeikov Faculty of Biology, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia

2 There are two major and alternative concepts of evolution of living matter: (Neo)Darwinian concept ( change over time ) and Lamarck s concept (unfolding development)

3 Charles Darwin: Evolution as change of the set of species over time due to Natural Selection According to Darwinian principle ("natural selection" "survival of the fittest"), living organisms are more or less passive "objects ; their activity is restricted to strive" to multiply. Chance variations in the progeny MAY provide them with the ability to survive in the given environmental conditions. Evolution results from the survival of the fittest and elimination of the losers.

4 Postulates and consequences of Darwin s model Postulated properties of living organisms ( laws acting around us ) VARIABILITY Consequences «chance» variations INHERITANCE «striving to the utmost to increase in numbers under the deficiency of resources Transmission of variations to progeny Struggle for life and Natural Selection Based on the Concluding Remarks to the Origin of Species Divergence of Character and the Extinction of less-improved forms: SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST

5 Some natural phenomena satisfactory fit in with the Darwin s model Malignant tumor progression Pathological population waves (Locust phase transition)

6 Hence, the realization of Darwinian model results in involution (degradation) rather than in EVOLUTION (gradation, development)

7 Jean-Baptiste Lamarck : Evolution is the result of an internal need of living things for progressive development. Nature endows animal life with the POWER TO MAKE ORGANIZATION GRADUALLY MORE COMPLEX, and to bring increasing complexity and perfection to their organization. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck Histoire Naturelle des Animaux sans Vertèbres ( )

8 Two evolutionary laws of Lamarck: 1. Lower forms of life thanks to internal activity (use and disuse of organs) transform into higher forms. 2. Inheritance of these acquired adaptive characteristics provide for the progressive evolution. Lower forms do not disappear because they constantly self-originate.

9 LAMARCKISM vs DARWINISM Lamarckism: living things are active subjects, they directionally change (mutate) in response to environmental challenges. Progressive evolution is the necessary natural phenomenon Darwinism: living things are essentially passive objects, they stochastically change (mutate), and those who fit to environmental conditions survive. Their activity is reduced to strive for multiplication.

10 According to Lamarck the responsiveness of living things to external factors is provided by the the nature of chemical material of living things: GELATINOUS AND MUCILAGINOUS MATTER and by SELF-ORGANIZING DYNAMICS OF FLUXES OF SUBTLE FLUIDS (ELECTRICITY AND HEAT) that shape this material in a way that leads to its selfmaintenance and complexification.

11 Dynamic organization manifested in living entity activities is central to Lamarck s view: gelatinous or mucilaginous states of matter, which alone could support living organization, have been (and continue to be) formed spontaneously; once this matter is exposed to fluxes of environmental caloric and electricity, the matter self-organizes into living, selfsustaining entities, which are endowed with the ability to nourish themselves, grow, and adapt to their conditions of life (Philosophie zoologique Paris, 1809).

12 Sea water: Water <97% Solids: >3% Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, 1978 «biology did not succeed in understanding of basic living functions because it focused its attention on a substance in the form of particles dissecting them from two matrixes: water and electromagnetic field» Jelly-fish: Water 99,9% Solids: 0,1%

13 Lamarck: once (gelatinous) matter is exposed to fluxes of environmental caloric and electricity, the matter selforganizes into living, self-sustaining entities (Philosophie zoologique Paris, 1809). WATER IS ABLE TO SELF-ORGANIZE! Gerald Pollack, (2003 continued )

14 Gerald Pollack, (2003 continued ) Water phase adjacent to hydrophilic interfaces (interfacial water, EZ - water) is different from bulk water in physical and chemical properties Interfacial Bulk Interfacial water is a fourth phase state of water liquid-crystalline, quazi-polymeric, coherent water, (Lamarck s gelatinous water?)

15 Water adjacent to hydrophilic surfaces (Exclusion Zone) is negatively charged electrons in such water are excited and slight impulses can make them free radiation, especially light in the infra-red part of the spectrum (Lamarck s subtle fluids?) increases electrondonating capacity of interfacial water High potential (rich in quazi-free electrons) Low potential (may contain electron acceptors) +

16 As soon as EZ water has reducing properties it may burn 4 e + 4H+ O 2 2H 2 O + Energy 2H 2 O + O 2 O 2 + 2H 2 O + Energy

17 WATER IS ABLE TO SELF-ORGANIZE at nano- and microscopic levels G. Preparata, E. Del Giudice, G. Vitiello, 1988 CD Coherent Domains of water Non-coherent water fraction Quazi-free electrons are located on their surfaces О 2 electrical CD may be electron donors and may reduce oxygen О 2 НО 2 Н 2 О 2 НО

18 WATER IS ABLE TO SELF-ORGANIZE at macroscopic level Vortices spontaneously appear in moving liquid or or atmospheric water

19 Aqueous systems are step-up transformers. They transform waste energy (of warmth ) into high grade free energy HIGH DENSITY FREE ENERGY («LIGHT») LOW DENSITY ENERGY («HEAT»)

20 CARBONATES are always present in any water CO 2 (gas) CO 2 (aq.) H 2 CO 3 HCO 3 Bicarbonates support long-term water burning Hermetically closed bicarbonate solutions activated with only 0,005% H 2 O 2 burn (emit photons) for many months even in complete darkness.

21 An example of H 2 O 2 -activated bicarbonate solution burning for more than a year. Photon emission intensity, cps Date 5 mm NaHCO 3 was activated with Н 2 О 2 on October 14,

22 Comparison of photon emission from one and the same sample during the week preceding Moon eclipse and the week following Moon eclipse. Water is very responsive to subtle energy fluxes from the environment: burning intensity drastically increases in response to Moon eclipse.

23 Carbonates present in in such aqueous system not only catalyze water burning but transform into a lot of active particles: О, С О+, СО 3, Н 2 С=О (organics!) If nitrogen is present, it will be excited, ionized, and complex organic compounds including polymers will emergence Н 2 С=О + NH 3 amino acids, nucleic acid bases etc.

24 More and more hydrophilic surfaces emerge in this aqueous system and its STRUCTURAL ENERGY and the ability to perform work increases

25 Aqueous systems, in which liquid crystalline (coherent) water and quazi-chaotic bulk water coexist, charge separation between these two phases is ensured electron flow from coherent water to oxygen present in bulk water is provided by e.g. Catalysts transform external low density energy into organized (coherent) free energy

26 The necessary condition for such system functioning is availability of enough energy (thermal or IR or other) to support liquid state of water. The same condition is needed for the spontaneous emergence, existence and self-organization (development) of living systems in the forms known on Earth.

27 The intrinsic activity of aqueous systems is the Lamarkian prime cause that endows animal life with the POWER TO MAKE ORGANIZATION GRADUALLY MORE COMPLEX, and to bring increasing complexity and perfection
