New Observations Confirm the Galactic Superwave Theory

It took over 30 years to confirm a key thesis of the galactic superwave theory, but now incontrovertible evidence has been found. Observations of the active galaxy PDS 456 made with NASA’s NuSTAR space telescope (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array), in operation since June 2012, and with the European Space Agency’s XMM-Newton space telescope, now show the presence of an extremely high velocity wind moving outward isotropically away from the galaxy’s center in all directions at up to 30% of the speed of light.

Autopoietic Gene-Enzyme Cycles and the Emergence of Life

Journal Keynote Paper by Paul A. LaViolette. Systems concepts are applied to solve the problem of how early life could have emerged from an initially abiotic organic environment. Proteinoid or lipid microspheres are proposed to have polymerized from a primordial organic soup and to contain various amino acids and several different nucleobases. A self-replicating “basic set” hypercycle consisting of 10 XNA gene strands and 10 enzymes is proposed that utilizes inorganic phosphates as an energy source. More
