Dear Colleagues, I would like to draw readers’ attention that the hierarchical thermodynamics, in my opinion, has achieved the revolutionary success in understanding of origin of life and biological evolution from the viewpoint of physical chemistry. The law of temporal hierarchies and the principle of substance stability provided the basis of hierarchical thermodynamics. This quasi-equilibrium […]

The principle of substance stability reveals the direction of development of chemical and biological evolution
The direction of development of chemical and biological evolution
Abstract The aim of numerous works of author is the creation of simplified thermodynamic model the origin of life, its evolution and the aging of living beings. During the creation of this model the author has used a variety of approximation and postulates. These approximations and postulates were justified from the standpoint of dynamic quasi-equilibrium […]
On the development of physical and chemical bases of Darwinism
Future of Darwinism
Hierarchical thermodynamics is the physical and chemical foundation of origin of life and biological evolution. Darwinism, of course, will be developed on the basis of general laws of nature, including the second law of thermodynamics and the principle of substance stability. Hierarchical thermodynamics explains many facts and contradictions in the theory of evolution.

Это исследование посвящено формированию колец во время происхождения и эволюции планетных и спутниковых систем во Вселенной. Появление этих структур связано с явлением пространственно-периодической конденсации, которая наблюдается в земных условиях. Автор, на самом деле, постулировал существование экзопланет систем и проявление этого общего явления в космических масштабах. Было предсказано существование колец Урана, Нептуна и других небесных тел. […]

Thermodynamics – the driving force behind the origin of life
The driving force behind the origin of life
Thermodynamics allows the formation of abiotic (prebiotical) molecules directly into the depths of earth and during underwater and terrestrial eruptions. The formation of HCN and other abiogenous molecules observed in electrical discharges, especially during the eruption of volcanoes. It was found that the synthesis of adenine and many other primary prebiotic molecules on a young and modern earth is beneficial from the standpoint of thermodynamics. As a result of actions of the structural stabilization and the principle of substance stability the purine and pyrimidine nucleobases can exist during relatively long time and be involved to the metabolism of living organisms. Some complex supramolecular structures – harbingers of life appear and in our time. However, these structures can be eaten by modern organisms, which prevent the formation of new forms of life.
Popularly about the life and the cycle of exchange of substance and energy
Principle of substance stability
Thermodynamically stable molecules with strong chemical bonds absorb energy from the sun (or other energy sources). These simple molecules (N2, CO2, H2O, etc.) share out their excess free energy with other molecules and redistribute this energy between them. Usually these simple molecules are combined to form a more complex substance. This association leads to a […]
Abiotic development and primary life evolved on the young Earth (or on the celestial bodies). These processes are still produced today. However, the existing life protects itself and prevents the development of own primary forms. This is the self-defending property of life. Origin, development and the preservation of life is controlled by the hierarchical thermodynamics of complex systems.
A model of life: the metabolism in abiogenic structures
The metabolism of hydrogen peroxide
We can find many examples of metabolic processes in heterogeneous spatially isolated molecular structures existing on the primary Earth and in the modern conditions. These processes are the prototype of metabolism in living organisms. Apparently, a simple compelling example is the exchange of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the particles of minerals, for example in particles […]
The principle of substance stability for abiogenesis and origin of life can be understood from the view-point of thermodynamics of formation of crystal molecular structures and structures of liquid crystals.
