Cometary Origin of COVID-19

Authors: Edward J. Steele, Reginald M. Gorczynski, Robyn A. Lindley, Gensuke Tokoro, Daryl H. Wallis, Robert Temple, N. Chandra Wickramasinghe
Comments: 9 Pages. The paper has been revised since first submission, and now re-submitted to a new journal

The evidence for the cometary origin then rapid global spread of COVID-19 through 2020 is critically reviewed. We outline why it is an alternative plausible scientific explanation to the current bat/pangolin animal jump theories. In our view this explanation is consistent with all the available temporal unfolding scientific data (genomic, immunologic, epidemiologic, geophysical, astrophysical and astrobiological). Thus COVID-19 arrived as infective cryopreserved virions in cometary meteoritic dust clouds from space in a bolide strike in the stratosphere over China on October 11 2019. Prevailing high-level and low-level wind systems then globally distributed the infective viral dust clouds, striking different regions at different times. Given this possibility, a new space challenge for mankind is to develop near- Earth early warning biological surveillance (and mitigation) systems for incoming cosmic in- falls of micro-organisms and viruses from the cometary dust and meteorite streams that our planet routinely encounters as it orbits the Sun.

Comparative Review of Two Papers on Antiviral Activity of Nanocomposites Coatings

Authors: Akram Jassim Jawad
Comments: 5 Pages.

In this report, comparative review between two papers about antiviral activity of nanocomposite has been discussed in terms of novelty, importance level, weaknesses points, publishing year, similarities, differences and recommended suggestions. The first article was titled “A Surface Coating that Rapidly Inactivates SARS-CoV‑2” by Behzadinasab et al. from Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and the University of Hong Kong, which published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces journal in 13 July 2020, Q1, H index 199 (Behzadinasab et al., 2020; Scimagojr 2020). The second one was titled “Protective hybrid coating containing silver, copper and zinc cations effective against human immunodeficiency virus and other enveloped viruses” by Hodek et al. from Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, Technical University of Liberec, and Centre for Nanomaterials, which published in BMC Microbiology

From an Invisible Marvellous of Life to Atomic Energy and Entangled Particles

Authors: Imrich Krištof
Comments: 12 Pages.

This paper supposed new idea of life, from microscopic molecules or atoms in sentences of Ancient Greeks – Démocritos from Abdéra (460 – 370 B.C.) and Leukippos from Milétos (500 – 440 B.C.), The Atomists, These philosophers suggested new conception of energy of the World, so called LOGOS ATOMOS, means INDIVISIBLE MATTER OF ENERGY, RESPECTIVELY NATURE POWERS AND ELEMENTS, WATER ELEMENTS, AIR ELEMENTS, FIRE ELEMENTS AND EARTH ELEMENTS. The Concept saws on problemma of small entities of life and nowdays actually Coronavirus Sars–Cov–19-2, which were at the first cases detected in food fairs in China, provincy Wuchan (In December 2019) and on eastern coast of U.S.A. (New York and Conurbation Bos-Wash), nearly at the same time was virus Sars–2–Cov–19 detected in Italy and Spain (Southern Europe), is evident that this virus is an artificial made in microbiologist laboratories, probably have roots already in 70–80-ties, when was developed an Experimental Biological Project REBIRTH (In Aral Sea, Soviet Union) in Russian language возрождѐние. From the 70-ties this Aral Lake Area was chosen like the Experimental polygon until 2010, when was a massive irrigation project realized, the area was used like a pocus polygon for testing of biological weapons (like for example for biological warfare and bio–terrorism (Tularemy, Brucellosis (Brucella melitensis, Brucellosis suis v. leporis), ornithosis and anthrax). Echinokokosis, Trichinelosis, Q–fever, this microbiological zoonosis are transmitted from domestic animals to Human communities. These biological weapons are cheap and effective than for example nuclear weapons.

What Life Is

Authors: David Martin Degner
Comments: 11 Pages.

A static and dynamic physical model is presented for the Gram (+) prokaryotic cell, the hydrogen of biology. Two currently unknown models that I have named the Nucleic Acid Mainframe and the Thermal Code are presented here. They are the most primitive and most important models in the origin of life chronology. Combined with the “RNA world” origin of life scenarios, these models can be seen to be the first two “missing links” in that origin of life evolutionary path. Together with the Genetic Code and the largely known complex network of biochemical reactions in biology we have the answer to the seminal question—What is Life? It is discovered that cells are chemical computers and the fundamental Turing machine architecture of biology is described here.
