Directed Motion as a Source of Life

By
Austin I. Weber

Our world, when first formed, would have an atmosphere of oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, ammonia, water, nitrogen oxides, methane, hydrogen cyanide and other low molecular weight elements and compounds.  This is shown to occur in Weber’s Cataclysmic Collision Theory, Appendix 40.  In addition, the Collision Theory also indicates that the preponderance of compounds first formed would have been water, methane, ammonia and carbon dioxide.

As the earth cooled through radiation, gaseous water would condense into rain.  As the rain poured down it would have continuously take with it many of the various gases in the atmosphere.  This would gather into hot lakes and rivers.

Many polymeric amino acid compounds would form.  As linear polymers their molecular motion would be quite chaotic.  It could now be possible to conceive that two of these chains would join chemically head to tail and head to tail forming an elongated closed loop.  If this were to happen, the molecular motion would have been constrained and possibly be converted to an undulating motion.  This could cause the molecule to move forward and backward.

Should further modification occur, such as the loop becoming helical and one end becoming heavier, possibly by the addition of a side chain, the molecule could then move in one direction.  Now, with motility, the molecule could continue to grow and conceivably this would be the birth of life.
