This theory proposes that life emerges as a physical necessity in open systems, suggesting new pathways for understanding abiogenesis.
Traditional models of abiogenesis often rely on the low-probability occurrence of stochastic biochemical reactions in closed systems. This theory proposes an alternative path: the emergence of life as a physical necessity in open systems driven by Prigogine’s dissipative structures. The central element consists of lipid vesicles with metallic ions coordinated within their hydrophilic heads. In a cyclic energetic environment, these structures utilize quantum entanglement to achieve high informational and metabolic coherence prior to the emergence of any genetic code (DNA).
