"As detailed in this article plasmas in the thermosphere engage in complex behavior and interactions that appear purposeful and under intelligent control. Therefore, plasmas may be alive and may be sentient and may represent a fourth domain, or even a first domain of life.
In this solar system, in the atmosphere above Earth, it can be assumed that the plasmasphere (magnetosphere) has been in existence for at least 3.5 billion years following the great bombardment of meteors, asteroids, comets, and oceans of ice. Over the ensuing billions of years, it can also be assumed that dusty plasmas incorporated not only dust and remnants of meteors and all the necessary ingredients for the fashioning of RNA and DNA, but also incorporated the genomes of living creatures that were cast into the upper atmosphere by powerful winds, hurricanes, tornadoes and bolide impacts. These scenarios give rise to at least four hypotheses: (1) Dusty plasmas are the first domain of life and incubated and synthesized RNA then DNA thus leading to the origins of life. (2) Dusty Plasma acquired RNA/DNA after incorporating and incapsulating innumerable living organisms that were cast into the upper atmosphere. (3) Dusty plasmas were the first to synthesis RNA and DNA, and upon acquiring and encapsulating organisms propelled into the upper atmosphere, incorporated their DNA into the plasma DNA via horizontal gene transfer. (4) Plasmas (plasmoids) are a form of ‘pre-life’ or an inorganic non-biological form of ‘life” which function according to same principles of electromagnetism which govern the functioning of living organisms be they plants or organisms whose behavior is controlled by a brain.
The fact is, as documented in this and earlier reports, plasmas in the thermosphere engage in complex behaviors and interactions. These include what may be communication via a language of light, the ejection of clouds of plasma in their wake, the formation of plasma bridges between one or more plasma and plasma mitosis and the the secretion of “emissary” “messenger” plasmas that detach (repulse) and may then be drawn toward the plasma that triggered the fissioning. This same principle may apply when two plasma target and crash into one another, or when plasmas merge they separate. Each of these plasmas have different voltages, density, temperatures and chemistry which may rapidly change, and all of which generates electric currents and charge separation especially when these cells crash through and pierce each other; or plasmas which have been following but then turn around, or which reverse course when pursued by a “messenger” plasma ejected by the plasma being followed.
Therefore, all these interactions and complex behaviours may be entirely due to differential electromagnetic activity and negative vs positive electrical charges and push-pull magnetic repulsion and attraction as similar interactions have been observed between galaxies, pulsars, binary stars and “red giants.” If the plasmas in the thermosphere are alive, then, could it be said that the plasma universe, the electromagnetic quantum continuum is also alive?
We cannot provide definitive answers to any of these questions other than to conclude that the data presented challenge all conceptions of what constitutes “life”." |
