What don’t you believe about these facts from 1910? I posted this video to Facebook one year ago, after a trip across the United States, which I chronicled in a series of other videos. Since then, “Cellulose” has linked fixation of amino acid substitutions to construction of the cell wall and microRNA-mediated protein folding chemistry via microRNA-mediated stem cell creation and healthy longevity across kingdoms. For examples of how energy-dependent ecological adaptations eliminate stupid theories about mutation-driven evolution, which link…

Longtime AIDS researcher Robert Redfield picked to lead CDC 3/21/18 In the early days of the AIDS crisis, Dr Redfield…[failed to learn about biophysically constrained] …active HIV replication in all stages of HIV infection. All viral replication is energy-dependent and microRNA-mediated. Without realizing it, the director of the CDC linked food energy-dependent pheromone-controlled fixation of amino acid substitutions from virulence in HIV-1 to less virulence in HIV-2.

See: Quantum initiation of cold chemistry vs Hypeology (2) Facts about the quantized energy-dependent creation of reverse transcriptase, an enzyme that converts a sequence in an RNA molecule into a sequence in a DNA molecule, have been placed into the context of social organization. Social organization: The thermodynamic basis The objective of this work is to establish the connection between energy engineering and social organization and to bring social organization under the big tent of physics.

Sales of human pheromone-enhanced fragrance products have been virtually eliminated by the pseudoscientific nonsense touted by neo-Darwinian theorists and Big Bang cosmologists. I may revisit their ridiculous claims at ScentofEros.com and Pheromones.com, but prefer to continue moving forward via my other domains: RNA-mediated.com and Autophagy.pro. Summary: 2018 Update: Sympatric speciation has been linked to species diversity as an example of an ecologically validated proof-of-concept in all living genera. Theorists, other psedoscientists and nearly all so-called science journalists have failed to…

Common Allele Linked to Sugar Consumption Leads to Lower Body Fat, Higher Blood Pressure One energy-dependent change in a base pair is linked from the FGF21 rs838133 variant to microRNA-mediated changes in morphology and behavior. The quantized energy as information link from microRNAs to morphology and behavior is common to my mouse-to-human model of sympatric speciation. By linking the common allele to sugar consumption, the authors attest to the fact that sympatric speciation is quantized energy-dependent. Energy as information biophysically constrains…

Amino acid coevolution reveals three-dimensional structure and functional domains of insect odorant receptors (2015) …the current models are both consistent with available and new experimental data and offer a number of predictions – notably, through revelation of highly constrained residues (Supplementary Data 9–10) – to guide and visualise structure-function analyses of these unusual sensory receptors. No experimental evidence of top-down causation links anything except the quantized energy-dependent creation of enzymes, hormones, and receptors to biophysically constrained viral latency and ecological…

Summary: Slide number 6 clearly states the “Levels of Biological Organization” that the “NSF’s 10 Big Ideas” finally places into the context of what has been known to all serious scientists for more than a century. Simply put, Hugo de Vries definition of mutation (sudden energy jumps) should never have been accepted as anything besides the claim of a biologically uninformed science idiot. Instead, the definition bastardized every aspect of what is now known about biophysically constrained viral latency and…

Summary: The term innate is used in psychological explanations. The so-called explanations ignore facts about the light energy-dependent activation of endogenous substrates. The anti-entropic virucidal energy of sunlight links the endogenous substrates to biophysically constrained viral latency and healthy longevity via the physiology of reproduction in all living genera. “Proximate mechanisms” and “evolution” are terms used by biologically uninformed theorists. That fact becomes perfectly clear in the context of  The conceptual critique of innateness (paywalled) One proposal is that innateness can…

On Darwin Day (2018) Carl Zimmer suggested use of the twitter hashtag #Istudyevolution to report whatever aspect of biology people were studying. For example, Richard Lenski reported that he studied adaptation in E. coli. When I told others that ecological adaptation is nutrient-dependent and pheromone-controlled in species from microbes to humans, he blocked me from seeing his comments. Evidently he did not want people to know that he had been studying ecological adaptation for more than 2 decades but reporting…
