Conclusion: The biggest threat to humanity is not the “Big Bang” theory of creation or the “Big Bang” theory of how life on Earth might end after an explosion of cosmic proportions. The biggest threat has always been “human idiocy.” 2017 Nobel Peace Prize Awarded to International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons “for its work to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of…

As you wait to learn who won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics and in Chemistry, please consider how these recent reports will be linked from electrons to ecosystems. Every aspect must start with the creation of energy, which must link chemistry to biophysically constrained biologically based life on Earth in the context of the physiology of pheromone-controlled reproduction and Schrodinger’s claims in “What is Life? (1944). Without mention of the anti-entropic virucidal energy of sunlight, the theories of physicists…

American Legion Riders (Riding for God and Country on 9/9/17) Summary: The highest-order of energy-dependent pre-assembly of respiratory chain complexes allows mitochondria to respond to energy-requiring conditions. There is no such thing as the emergence of energy, self-assembly, self-organization or any other pseudoscientific nonsense touted by theorists. Their theories exemplify what Richard P. Feynman referred to as “human idiocy.” That is why I refer to theorists who argue with me as “biologically uninformed science idiots.” Friends sometimes tell me I…

The ideology of “Americanism” is not consistent with the tactics of academics and politicians that constrain release of accurate information about  biologically-based cause and effect. …Americanism is an ideology, or belief in devotion, loyalty, or allegiance to the United States of America, or to its flag, traditions, customs, culture, symbols, institutions, or form of government.[2] In the words of Theodore Roosevelt, “Americanism is a question of spirit, conviction, and purpose, not of creed or birthplace.”[3] Americanism has two different meanings.…

Summary: The creation of the enzyme is linked to the evolution of all biodiversity via the creation of the enzyme and mutations. See for comparison: Neuronal-expressed microRNA-targeted pseudogenes compete with coding genes in the human brain. Listen to this song about Santa Claus and note that he sees you when you’re sleeping and somehow unconsciously determines if you’ve been good or bad. Santa Claus may know that the sense of smell has repeatedly been linked to effects on hormones and unconscious…

Energy as Information and Constrained Endogenous RNA Interference (video) The energy as information comes from the sun. The sun’s anti-entropic virucidal energy has been linked to the creation of microRNAs and to all biophysically constrained biodiversity on Earth via the physiology of food energy-dependent pheromone-controlled reproduction. See also: The link from the sun’s anti-entropic virucidal energy to all biodiversity via the physiology of reproduction may have been better understood from representations in Biblical Genesis than any other post hoc representations.…

Summary: Others have learned that the energy in a hydrogen atom must be linked to all biodiversity on Earth. The question is: “Where did the energy in the hydrogen atom come from?” See: The Origin of Information (3) Finally, someone is asking questions that can be summarized in one question (see below). Until now, on the International Society for Human Ethology’s Yahoo group, and elsewhere, the moderator: Jay R. Feierman has prevented the dissemination of accurate information on this topic.…

Summary: The role of vitamin C in the treatment of pain: new insights links what is known about the “superfood” Spirulina (blue-green algae), which is grown in marine and freshwater environments, to the stability of all organized genomes via its biological activities, such as antioxidant, anti-diabetic, cholesterol-controlling and insulin resistance effects. The biological activities are energy-dependent and they link the anti-entropic virucidal energy of sunlight to all biodiversity via the pheromone-controlled physiology of reproduction and microRNAs in plants and animals.…

Summary: The hitchhiking, the epistasis, and the dynamics of adapting populations are energy-dependent and biophysically constrained in the context of RNA-mediated protein folding chemistry. The virus-driven degradation of messenger RNA links mutations to all pathology in all living genera. An upper limit on the functional fraction of the human genome For the human population to maintain a constant size from generation to generation, an increase in fertility must compensate for the reduction in the mean fitness of the population caused,…

Summary: …rapid mRNA turnover starts with the energy-dependent de novo creation of microRNAs and ends with the virus-driven degradation of messenger RNA, which links mutations to all pathology.   This was reported in the following context: “RNA molecules live short lives” July 12, 2017 See also: Epigenetic effects of stress by Bruce McEwen (1) Summary: In the early 1990’s, Bruce McEwen inspired my life’s works, which link the epigenetic effects of nutrient-stress and/or social stress to the fact that RNA biosynthesis…
