Long since, people tried to solve the mystery of the way that led to the appearance and propagation of living entities. However, no harmonious understanding of this mystery existed, because neither the scientifically grounded source minerals nor the ambient conditions were proposed and because it was groundlessly taken that the process of living ma...

Our discoveries related to the problems of origination of microorganisms in deep methane deposits are considered: (1) In undisturbed highly-concentrated semi-liquid water/functional polymer systems, such as H2O/DNA, ordered matrix water/substrate structures similar to gas-hydrate structure II is thermodynamically preferable at rather low temperatur...

The protuberance activity in the course of the 21st – 24th cycles will be analyzed in the context of the PFO-CFO Theory and the theoretical long-term prognoses of the solar activity and its effects on the Earth’s climatic conditions will be considered against the background of explanation of Phanerozoic climatic events.

The PFO-CFO Theory allowed us to connect each of nine most tragic Phanerozoic mass extinctions with quite definite solar events. On the basis of available observations and on the Theory, we think that the current warming will not be catastrophic for humanity as a biological species but that the coming epoch will be rich in solar events rather disag...

We proposed and developed the PFO-CFO Theory of Solar System Formation and Transformation (PFO-CFO Theory) published and presented repeatedly over the world. It proceeds from the notion of space as the eternal and endless oscillating mass/energy (m/e) of a low density and, similarly to Rutherford and Soddy, finds that stars, including the Sun, shin...

This file represents a commentary to the entire set of our works related to the PFO-CFO Theory of Solar System Formation and Transformation, and I don't understand the grounds to do it inaccessible for the ResearchGate site members.

Согласно LOH-Theory, многообразие видов обусловлено главным образом пространственной и временной повторяемостью процессов возникновения живой материи в сходных, но не идентичных условиях, множественностью форм ДНК в каждом событии возникновения живой материи, изменениями в параметрах родительской среды, межвидовыми изменениями, а также, в меньшей с...

The proteins belonging to different organisms as well as the natural amino acids as incorporated into proteins occurring free in tissues and lymphatic fluids are, as a rule, levorotatory. This article contains a simple explanation of this structural discrimination and of the extremely slow racemization of natural organic substances. Chirality 00:00...

The paper represents a subsequent development of the Life Origination Hydrate Theory (LOH-Theory). It is shown that the natural amino-acids and primary proteins can originate together with DNAs in CH4-hydrate localizations from natural gas and niter; the thermodynamics and chemistry allow such reactions with no external energy sources.

Einstein's relativity: what is eternal, questionable, and erroneous in the starting points of this theory and in the subsequent conclusions from it? We discuss this question and propose a new time-expanded cosmologic theory, which uses some Einstein's statements and rejects other ones, leads to a new interpretation for equation, supplements it, and...

According to the conclusion of the theory, the so-called supernovas correspond to the explosions of the stellar radiation zone but not to those of entire stars and, after that, stars return to their initial state and their new life begin; the Sun is the tertiary star.

Not only DNAs, but amino-acids (AAs) and proteins can be obtained from natural gas, niter and phosphate.

The Life Origination Hydrate Theory (LOH-Theory) is the instrument for understanding the physical and chemical mechanisms applied by Nature for the living matter origination and propagation [1, 2]. We affirm that living matter originated as a result of thermodynamically caused chemical transformations, which are inevitable under definite ambient co...

(Invited lecture) It is proved that thermally stabilized crystalline metals and oxides are homogeneous relative to the chemisorption and catalytic activity of their surface centres [1–3], and the sources of erroneous notions on surface heterogeneity are revealed and specified [2, 4]. Surface homogeneity is a fundamental feature of thermally stabili...

The PFO–CFO Hypothesis of Solar System Formation allows realistic explanations of different phenomena which occur in the Earth’s atmosphere, on the Earth, on the Sun, and in the Solar System.

Three-dimensional PC simulation of the size compatibility between the CH4-hydrate structure and different DNA fragments was performed in the context of the Life Origination Hydrate Theory (LOH-Theory). Complete compatibility was confirmed.

A new approach to understanding of the Universe nature and to the Solar System Formation mechanism: space is the small-concentration mass/energy, and stars are knots in it; stellar systems include physically formed objects (PFO) and chemically formed objects (CFO), all chemical elements of which originated from radioactive and non-radioactive pico-...

This work is aimed at coordination of these theories with the pa...

Life Origination Hydrate Theory (LOH-Theory) and Mitosis and Replication Hydrate Theory (MRH-Theory), both grounded on the notion of honeycomb gas-hydrate structures formation/destruction as the physicochemical phenomenon governing the DNA origination and replication, allow new approaches to the optimal nutrition and life prolongation problems.

To reveal the laws of living-matter interaction with environment, we use the results of lon...

The stars are considered as the energy/mass space knots, where concentrated space converses into matter; all isotopes form by a unique mechanism outside stellar bodies on the basis of pico-drops of their substance as a result of exothermal radiation-chemical reactions, but not by the multi-step mechanism that was widely-taken before this work.

Three-dimensional simulation confirms the possibility of DNA housing and formation of DNA double helixes within hydrate structure II and, thus, counts in favor of the LOH-Hypothesis for any planet.

According to the PFO–CFO Hypothesis of Solar System Formation, the stellar radiation zone (RZ) contains an unstructured neutron (n0) – proton (p0) substance. Stars emit pico-drops (p-ds) of this substance from the RZ-bottom layer into the space with protuberances and, under a definite critical condition, with the imploded RZ material. The n0/p0 rat...

The present state of the LOH- and MRH-hypotheses of living matter origination and reproduction is given.

The stars are considered as the energy/mass space knots, where energy converses into matter; all isotopes form by a unique mechanism outside stellar bodies on the basis of pico-drops of their substance as a result of exothermal radiation-chemical reactions.

• A new ideology and procedure for consideration of the contribution of inverse reactions to the analytic descriptions of the kinetics of heterogeneous catalytic processes (gross-reactions, GRs), which proceed with rate-determining steps (RDSs) and residual equilibrium portions (ExEqms), are proposed instead of the ordinary ideology and procedure t...

The heterogeneous-catalysis oscillation theory given earlier by us only briefly is grounded and detailed. The oscillation theory bears on the following available conclusions made in the last decades: thermally-stabilized surfaces are homogeneous, chemisorbed layers are of island structure, and the rates of chemisorption are multifold higher than th...

It is shown that the DNA (and RNA) could be synthesized by Nature only within a mineral structural matrix and the chemical nature of this matrix is revealed; formation of the analogous mineral matrix in highly concentrated semi-liquid water solutions of some organic substances also supplies the processes that lead to the DNA replication.

The advanced PFO–CFO hypothesis of planetary systems formation around Sun-like stars and, in particular, of Solar System (SS) formation is developed in an attempt to clarify some events over the period from the presolar star "middle age" to the SS formation. The hypothesis allows original explanations for the 11-and 22-year solar cycles, formation...

We develop the OK-hypothesis (Ostrovskii–Kadyshevich hypothesis). It covers the period from the Presolar Star up to origination of the cellular life at the Earth. The Life Origination Hydrate hypothesis (LOH-hypothesis) is a portion of the OK-hypothesis. When developing it, we adhere to the following principles. (1) The gross-scale processes in nat...

It is shown that different functions with two and more fitted parameters are capable of approximate describing for a set of experimental data. This means that description of a set of experimental data by any equation that is deduced on the basis of some notion on the mechanism of a process under study does not mean that this mechanism is adequate t...

The Solar System formation PFO–CFO hypothesis is developed in the direction of creation of a phenomenological model focused on solution of a number of paradoxes and answering to a number of mysterious questions under the same cover. For explanation of the events and processes that occurred over the period from the middle ages of the pre-solar star...

The Life origination hydrate hypothesis (LOH-Hypothesis) is shortly given, and eighteen questions on life origination, to which it is capable of answering are formulated.

What is the physicochemical mechanism of cell replication? This is one of the central problems of our consideration. But is such a statement of the problem promising? May it be that none general physicochemical mechanism for the phenomenon of multi-step selfreproduction of a cell exists and each step is controlled by some different specific article...

What is the mechanism of functioning of the surface of any thermally-stabilized catalyst in the course of any stationary catalytic process: does it work as a comprehensive whole or as a conglomerate of individual centers of different catalytic activities? A solution of this problem is important for revelation of the common principal features of the...

A hypothesis of formation of the Solar System on the basis of the presolar-star material with no contribution from other sources is developed. When developing the hypothesis, we are guided by the principles of: (1) simplicity (Nature is simple and doesn’t luxuriate in excesses); (2) repeatability of all natural events and phenomena with some indivi...

The logical and thermodynamic grounds of the Life Origination Hydrate Hypothesis (LOH-hypothesis) are described. According to the hypothesis, living matter originated under the Earth surface in the methane-hydrate structure from methane, niters, and phosphates.

We assume that the stars, during their before-explosion collapse, "spray" flows of neutron–proton (n–p) nanodrops, which transform quickly into radioactive atoms and give stable isotopes as a result of decays. As the star rotation accelerates, the nucleon number in the nanodrops increases. This assumption and available data on the half-lives and de...

We develop the original Life Origination Hydrate Hypothesis (LOH-hypothesis) of repeated origination of the living matter simplest elements (LMSEs) from CH4 (or other CH4 -hydrocarbon), niter, and phosphate under the Earth's surface or seabed within honeycomb structures of hydrocarbon hydrates. The LOH-hypothesis gives a new possibility for underst...

It is shown that, in spite of the fact that the analytical equations deduced analytically for catalytic kinetics and chemisorption equilibriums and rates on the basis of the notion on surface heterogeneity with arbitrarily-chosen parameters are sometimes capable of formalistic approximate describing experimental data sets, this does not mean that t...

We take that the processes that led to living-matter origination and to its subsequent development are natural, thermodynamically conditioned, and inevitable and all they are governed by universal physical and chemical laws. The hypothetical sequence of the processes that led to formation of protocells from methane, niter, and phosphate is as follo...

The review addresses the following issues. (1) The basic principles applied in recreating the mechanism of natural processes that took place in the distant past.
