Bi-Polarization and Life

Bi-Polarization Effects opens possibilities for explaining some of the basic questions of Life:

1. What is the possible explanation of Life?
2. Why are there two sexes?
3. How did Life get so diverse?
4. What we still cannot explain?

When Big- Bang struck the Time Clock running, there began a race for every thing. Since its been only 13.8 billion years since time existed, it might seem very difficult to explain Life but it isn't. After when the Solar System came to Life around 4.5 bn years ago, Life found the right conditions to form a billion years later. We came quite late on Earth for sure. But lets get to answering those questions.

1. What is Life. 

Life is a controlled transfer mechanism created by the Universe to exchange energy or forms of energy. The transfer is controlled by some rules defined by mother nature.

That might seem quite like a trivialized explanation for such a beautiful experience but we are transferring or exchanging all the time.Universe is a  packet of energy that went haywire for a particular period of time following which energy became mass and mass became complex entities like Life. Life exists because some elements (more specifically carbon, hydrogen and oxygen) in the periodic table come together  more oftern to form regulated entities and can form sustaining units. When these self sustaining systems got more larger, things went into overdrive. Collective units needed to be more stronger to survive. Once a system stays stable for long periods of time, the more stronger units form mechanisms to exchange stimuli and matter in a controlled manner. Over time these systems become capable of storing information and recording past experiences- more like control experiments which after millions of years of repeated sustenance become capable to accepting/rejecting external stimuli.

Ultimately all life is functioning on the information stored in our DNA. These memory coils just help us transfer matter/energy/information/ideas in more controlled manner.

2. Why are there two sexes?

At some point in time, life figured it out that division of labor is the best chance for survival. The existence of the two sexes is a testament to the fact that natural systems tend to get polarized over time. This not just helped in increasing efficiency and diversity but has in turn help in exchanging information which could otherwise have possibly got missed had Life stuck to asexual reproduction. Over billions of years, the polarization of sexes can get extremely skewed and show remarkable differences in the two due to natural selection.

3. How did Life get so diverse?

Changes in external circumstances/stimuli led to similar life forms changing their behavior. The changing environment could have acted on these life forms at different times in evolution and hence the differences. 3.5 bn years is quite some time to show have this diversity becoming real.

4. What we still cannot explain?

Our understanding of existence itself seems still quite limited. Why does anything exist in the first place. Are we the imagination of a super natural entity or are just an extension of a cosmic singularity. The problem is that in spite of all the technological breakthrough, we are still to go much ahead in understanding the Universe. Some with an academic approach to things might find these questions frankly very inconsequential and more delving into the spiritual, nonetheless these happen to be some of the most basic questions before we can understand anything in this world properly.
