The present view of biological phenomena is based on a biomolecular paradigm that development of living organisms is entirely defined by information stored in a molecular form as some genetic code. However, new facts and discoveries indicate that biological phenomena cannot be reduced to a biomolecular realm alone, but are also governed by mechanisms of other nature. These mechanisms, acting in tight cooperation with biochemical mechanisms, define life cycles of individual organisms, and, through this, the origin and evolution of the living world. Here, we present such a physical mechanism (General growth law), which represents a new physical law of nature. It acts at cellular, organ, system and whole organism scale levels, directing growth and reproduction together with biomolecular mechanisms by imposing uniquely defined constraints on distribution of nutrients between biomass production and maintenance, thus defining the composition of biochemical reactions, their change and irreversibility during the organismal life cycle. Mathematically, this law is represented by the growth equation. Using this equation, we introduce growth models and explain division mechanisms for unicellular organisms. High adequacy of obtained results to experiments proves validity of the General growth law and of the new physical paradigm of Life based on this law.

: It was claimed that a brachiosaurus would suffocate while walking in a shallow body of water because of the pressure of the water. People in the early 1900’s painted dinosaurs walking in shallow bodies of water, as the artist Zdenek Burian did, using its neck as a snorkel. Fast forward, paleontologists claimed that this would not be possible because the pressure in the water would collapse the dino’s lungs, so then they placed dinos above and out of the water. Now we are going back to dinos easily navigating the shallow seas underwater, because of the ancient atmosphere being much denser during the existence of dinosaurs, of 3-5 bar. Brachiosaurus could snorkel because he/she would only be at ~102- 112% ambient atmospheric pressure. Humans can breath at 109%. Some screen shots and pictures are presented to explain.

The theory of the morphogenic field suggests that chemical signaling is supplemented by electromagnetic signaling governing the structure and shape of tissues, organs and the body. The theory of DNA resonance suggests that the morphogenic field is created by the genomic DNA which sends and receives electromagnetic signals in a sequence-specific manner. Previously, the authors have proposed the existence of HIDERs, genomic elements that serve as antennas in resonance signaling and demonstrated that they occur nonrandomly and are conserved in evolution. Here, it is proposed that longitudinal hydrogen bonds exist in the double helix, that chains of these bonds form delocalized proton clouds, that the shapes of these clouds are sequence-specific and form the basis of sequence-specificity of resonance between HIDERs. Based on longitudinal hydrogen bonds, a proton DNA resonance code was devised and used to identify HIDERs which are enriched 20 fold in the genome and conserved in evolution. It was suggested that these HIDERs are the key elements responsible for DNA resonance signaling and the formation of the morphogenic field.

With my study I want to advance a hypothesis that Phyllotaxis is caused by a lattice of Ice-Crystals or large Water Clusters which are stablized (coated) by certain proteins, e.g. special Ice-binding- or Water-Cluster-binding-proteins.
The microscopic Image of the remains of an evaporated water droplet shows a phyllotactic pattern that formed during the evaporation of the water droplet on a silicon wafer. This image is a proof that Water itself must be the main contributor which causes Phyllotaxis ! The pysical process Evaporation, and electric charge and coloumb forces caused by evaporation also seem to play a role in the pattern formation and in the precise orientation and positioning of the water clusters in the pattern.
Important for the formation of a phyllotactic Fibonacci pattern seems to be a large central Water Cluster, that may have icosahedral MacKay-geometry, consisting of large icosahedral Sub-Clusters formed by the stable icosahedral water clusters (H2O)100 or (H2O)280. Typical cluster numbers of Mackay-Clusters are 13 and 55 which are Fibonacci Numbers ! Additional proof comes from SEM-Images of the Sunflower Capitulum. These images indicate that new primordia are caused by rhombic crystals, which seem to be either ice-crystals or large water cluster crystals that formed with the help of ice-binding proteins or similar. Proof for a physical cause of Phyllotaxis is also provided by a study about variations in the Fibonacci-spiral patterns of twigs of the three “Pinus Mugo“ which shows that the Fibonacci-pattern variation depends on altitude and temperature- /radiation- conditions. With the results of this study I developed an infinite Fibonacci-Number-Sequences-Table that contains all existing Fibonacci-Sequences and all natural numbers. Finally I present a mathematical discovery regarding constant Phi. All natural numbers and their square roots, as well as constant Pi (π), can be expressed by only using constant Phi (1.618…) and the base unit 1.

While the symptoms of Covid-19 are well-known, I encountered a different kind of problem which evidently resulted from a grocery store’s measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
