ABSTRACT
Living
organisms are high ordered and organized systems accumulating and
successively using low entropy energy to support all the processes
needed for life. This low level of entropy is a required condition in
order to make possible the use of endogenous energy for producing, for
example, mechanical work. The commonly accepted picture of condensed
matter physics, exclusively considering the perturbative coupling
between QED Zero-Point-Field also known as “Quantum Vacuum” and the
matter system, is unable to thoroughly explain the true origin of this
low entropy energy reservoir and its dynamics. Recent researches instead
suggested that energy and mass of every particle or body could be
actually considered as arising from Quantum Vacuum dynamics which, in
turn, can exhibit, under suitable conditions always occurring in the
case of living systems, a coherent behavior characterized by a strong
phase correlation between matter and an electromagnetic field trapped
inside this ensemble. In this paper the preliminary model of Quantum
Vacuum already proposed by author is reformulated in terms of QED
coherence in condensed matter showing it is able to explain the origin
of internal energy stock of living organisms. Within this theoretical
framework, an interpretation of some important experimental results
about biophotons emission by living systems under the influence of
external stimuli is also proposed, suggesting their origin could also
arise from Quantum Vacuum dynamics. This model, as shown, opens very
interesting and exciting scenarios of further developments in the
understanding of the birth and dynamics of life.
