The hypothesis of Dr Raik Mikelsaar (Tartu) about the honeycomb-like structure of the lipid layer of biomembranes is briefly presented. Then the author of the article considered some possible consequences of it in bioenergetics and other aspects.

As the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is nearing its eventual end we focus on what we believe are two key omissions from the mainstream scientific literature and which have significant implications for how mankind manages the next global pandemic. We review data, observations and conclusions from our papers published 2020 and 2021 on its likely cometary origin and global spread. We also revisit the superior effectiveness of intra-nasal vaccines against respiratory tract pathogens. While these two oversights seem disparate, together they provide us with new insights into our collective awareness of how we might view and address the next global pandemic. We begin with our hypothesis of its likely cometary origin via a bolide strike in the stratosphere on the night of October 11 2019 on the 40o N line over Jilin in NE China. Further global spread most likely occurred via prevailing wind systems transporting both the pristine cometary virus followed by continuing strikes from the same primary source as well as prior human passaged virus transmitted by person to person spread and through contaminated dust in global wind systems. We also include a discussion of our prior work on data relating to vaccine protective efficacy. Finally we review the totality of evidence concerning the likely origin and global spread of the predominant variants of the virus ‘Omicron’ (+ Delta mix?) from early to mid-December 2021 and extending into the first week January 2022. We describe the striking data showing the large numbers of infectious cases per day and outline the scale of what appears to be a global pandemic phenomenon, the causes of which are unclear and not completely understood. We discuss a number of mechanisms and explanations for this striking coo-ordinated global phenomenon. We conclude with an optimistic note for mankind. Given our prior knowledge on the effectiveness against respiratory tract pathogens of mucosal immunity involving induction of dimeric secretory IgA antibodies, we consider the recently published intra-nasal vaccine data from laboratories based at the University of California, San Francisco and, independently at Yale University, holds great promise for the future development of both pan-specific and specific immunity against future pandemics caused by suddenly emergent respiratory pathogens, whether viral and bacterial.

We consider the nerve as the elastic string, the left end of which is fixed at the beginning of the coordinate system, the right end is fixed at point l and mass m is fixed between the ends of the string. We determine the classical and the
quantum vibration of such system. The quantum motion is obtained by the so-called non-conventional oscillator quantization method by author. The proposed model can be also related in the modified form to the problem of the Moessbauer
effect, being the recoilless nuclear resonance
uorescence, which is the resonant and recoil-free emission and absorption of gamma radiation by atomic nuclei bound in a solid. (Mossbauer,1958). It is not excluded that our oscillator quantization of the string can be extended to generate the new way of the string theory of matter and physiology of nerves.

Two hard problems in the origin of life question are identification of the structure of biology’s ancestral replicator(s), and the emergence of replicators from a prebiotic environment. In the discipline of cellular automata (CA), not all CA abstractions of replication include any origin pathway to the replicating structures. In this work, an origin for the J. Byl (1989) CA replicator from an isolated non-quiescent cell is described. This origin pathway requires introduction of one oriented state and three other states, all of which permanently disappear from the subsequent replication process. Origin of the replicator and subsequent replication display three sequential and spatially-expanding domains of counter-clockwise rotation: the oriented state of a single cell rotates as the first replicator structure develops around it, followed by rotation of the 2x2 cell information loop as a replication cycle proceeds, and in subsequent cycles of replication, orientation of a parent replicator also rotates counter-clockwise as directions of replication are successively blocked by the replicator’s children.
