Fundamental Aliveness: The Emergence of Life
The Organic Revolution in Science From what we can see from our vantage point here and now, the known universe emerged mysteriously some 13 billion years ago in a great flaring forth of energy, with matter, in the form of elementary particles, appearing and disappearing like bubbles and foam. Over time this emerging energy blob expanded, cooled and various shapes and forms of matter stabilized. At first large clouds of electrons and protons appeared, and then the protons and electrons combined to form hydrogen atoms, and the proto-galaxies arrived. These gave birth to mini (relative to the galactic clouds!) clouds which soon condensed into the first stars and the galaxies ignited into being. 9 billion years later, we find ourselves in a remote corner of one of the 100 billion galaxies, on a planet circling a rather ordinary mid-size yellow star. Here life has emerged. Life, infinitely mysterious, self-organizing and self replicating, adapting and changing, complexifying, evolving. Our life, our fundamental aliveness, emerged on the continuum that began 13 billion years ago, as a cell, a single celled organism that found itself with powers and possibilities unknown to the stars and planets, the gasses and rocks, the atoms and molecules that slowly emerged and complexified over vast moments in time. This was something new. It is more than likely that we are not alone in the vast cosmos, the the earth is not the only planet to give birth to life. How did these amazingly complex cellular beings arise. What are some of the pre-cursors to this emergence ? How did the evolutionary story continue to complexify after the arrival of the cells?
