[quote:Krispy71:MV8xMTEzNTg2XzI4MjM3NzA3X0RGMkUzNDEx] Remember our postings about SALT and its importance to AUgie ? Remember our postings about added IRON to Salt-Seawater ? Remember our postings about that life could have evolved from an ALUMINIUM-based Galaxy ? ... Yes ???? Remember that ? Then you should really read this : [i][color=olive][u][b]Life-like cells are made of metal [/b][/u][/color]http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20906-lifelike-cells-are-made-of-metal.html[/i] SNIPS: [color=darkblue][i][b]Could living things that evolved from metals[/b] be clunking about somewhere in the universe? Perhaps. In a lab in Glasgow, UK, one man -[u][b]Lee Cronin[/u]- is intent on proving that metal-based life is possible[/b]. He has managed to build cell-like bubbles from giant metal-containing molecules and has given them some life-like properties. He now hopes to induce them to evolve into fully inorganic self-replicating entities. ... [b]His building blocks are large "polyoxometalates" made of a range of metal atoms – most recently tungsten – linked to oxygen and phosphorus[/b]. By simply mixing them in solution, he can get them to self-assemble into cell-like spheres. Cronin and his team [b]begin by creating[/color] [color=red]salts[/color] [color=darkblue]from negatively charged ions of the large metal oxides bound to a small positively charged ion such as hydrogen or sodium. A solution of this salt is squirted into another salt solution made of large, positively charged organic ions bound to small negative ones. When the two salts meet, they swap parts and the large metal oxides end up partnered with the large organic ions. The new salt is insoluble in water[/b]: it precipitates as a shell around the injected solution. Cronin calls the resulting bubbles inorganic chemical cells, or iCHELLs, and says they are far more than mere curiosities. By modifying their metal oxide backbone he can give the bubbles some of the characteristics of the membranes of natural cells. ... they have started imbuing the iCHELLs with the equipment for photosynthesis by [b]linking some oxide molecules to light-sensitive dyes[/b]. Cronin says early results suggest he can create a membrane that splits water into hydrogen ions, electrons and oxygen when illuminated – the initial step of [b]photosynthesis[/b]. "We've [also] got an indication that we can pump protons across the membrane" to set up a proton gradient, says Cronin – another [b]key stage in harnessing energy from light[/b] ... last year he showed that he could get polyoxometalates [b]to use each other as templates to self-replicate[/b] ... In the long run, [b]the real test will be whether the cells can modify their own chemistry to adapt to different environments[/b]. Cronin hints that his latest work may show this, but is unwilling to give details as yet. "I think we have just [b]shown the first droplets that can evolve[/b]" is all he will say. If Cronin is right, [b]then the possible range of extraterrestrial life is blown wide open. "There is every possibility that there are life forms out there[/color] [color=darkred]which aren't based on carbon[/color][/b][color=darkblue]," he says. Tadashi Sugawara of the University of Tokyo, Japan, doesn't see why not. "On Mercury, the materials are all different. There might be a creature made of inorganic elements." Cronin may be some way from proving this, says Sugawara, but "he has pointed out a new direction".[/i][/color] Below I will REPOST my post about ALUMINIUM ... You can read it on this page (11/05/2011 02:46 PM) : http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1113586/pg1291 In short some important words > Salt & potassium & neutrino's, reaction with oxygen, most abudant metal in Earth's crust, metal comes FROM aluminium, a fantastic light-reflector and a superconductor, found in cold seeps in The South CHINESE SEA (!!!), found in meteorites (coz of exposure to intense cosmic-rays bombardments) and created in supernovae and is found in certain volcano's .. etc ... I too think this UK-man is on the verge of discovering important understanding about life and how elements morphed into structured templates. He misses a few things in his experiments, but he is on a roll. We must not forget that in The Beginning LIFE was NOT immedeately BASED on DNA ... BUT ON RNA !!!! The hostile conditions and radioactive rays added to the metha-morphesis. Studies have proven that when conditions changed to a more "friendly enviroment" RNA changed into DNA ... and became DNA the most dominant template to reproduce information. I have a hunch that IF and WHEN he experiments more with ALUMINIUM (also a HEALING metal element, ALUM : an astringent for healing wounds) and electrolysis and cosmic-ray's , that he will gain more interresting results. :cool2: [/quote]
