The Transition from Earth-Centred Biology to Cosmic Life - NASA/ADS

A paradigm shift with potentially profound implications has been taking place over the past 3 decades. The convergence of research in diverse disciplines points to life being a cosmic phenomenon. A near-infinite information content of life appears to have evolved on a cosmological scale — over vast distances, and enormous spans of time.

It appears highly unlikely that life could have emerged from chemicals in “some warm little pond” on the Earth; in contrast we maintain that every species of life on the Earth, including Homo sapiens, is in essence the result of an assembly of cosmologically derived viral genes. The ingress of such genes that continues to the present day led to their accommodation within the genomes of evolving lineages, sifted according to the “natural processes of selection”, a mechanism first enunciated by Patrick Matthews and later used by Darwin.

The evidence for this point of view has now grown to the point where we believe, it will soon need to be accepted by the majority of the scientific community. This is particularly critical, since we suggest that new diseases capable of threatening Man's existence could arrive to Earth from space. Moreover, we need to understand that we must live in harmony with the Earth and its ever-changing biosphere if we are to coexist with it.

Newspapers and social media are consumed by events on Earth. But there is much more to the universe than meets the eye on Earth. Let me illustrate that with three examples. First, the doctoral thesis submitted in 1925 by the young scientist, Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, showed that the Sun has a different composition from that of the Earth and is made mostly of hydrogen. She was dissuaded by the authority on stars at the time, Henry Norris Russell, from including this conclusion in her thesis. Four years later, he confirmed her conclusion. In the second example from 1933, a young Fritz Zwicky argued that most of the matter in the Universe is made of a substance different from what we find in the Solar system. For four decades his suggestion was still sidelined by his colleagues at Caltech. By now, Zwicky’s notion is mainstream although we still do not know what the dark matter is. In a third example, the first two interstellar objects discovered over the past five years, CNEOS 2014–01–08 and `Oumuamua, have anomalous properties relative to the comets and asteroids found in the Solar system. Yet, the possibility of an artificial origin for them is sidelined. This is on the backdrop of us knowing that the dice of intelligence was rolled tens of billions of times in the Milky Way alone and that humanity launched five spacecraft out of the solar system over a period as short as one part of a hundred million of the age of the Sun.

While adult “experts” celebrate the “known” and sideline the “unknown”, the actual message we get over and over again from the cosmos is that we should not pretend to be anything more than curious children on their first day in class.
