Intelligent Extraterrestrial Nuclear Lifeforms Can Be Found Inside Stars – Startling New Theory

Cynthia McKanzie – MessageToEagle.com – The quest for extraterrestrial life continues and there is no shortage of unusual and interesting theories.

This time scientists propose alien life can form inside stars. Now, this does sound bizarre, but perhaps we must stop considering requirements for life as we know it, and instead look at the most extreme possibilities.

New research by physicists Luis Anchordoqui and Eugene Chudnovsky at the City University of New York propose the existence of so-called “nuclear life.

“The existing view of biological life is that it evolves under suitable conditions in the low-temperature world of atoms and molecules on the surface of a planet. It is believed that any plausible extraterrestrial form of life must resemble the life on Earth that is ruled by the biochemistry of nucleic acids, proteins, and sugars.

Going against this dogma, we argue that an advanced form of life based upon short-lived species can exist inside main-sequence stars like our Sun,” scientists write in their paper.

“Conventional wisdom states that the search for exolife calls for carbon-based organisms, operating in a water-based medium, with higher forms (perhaps) metabolizing oxygen.

All forms of life on Earth share this same basic biochemistry.

However, biological molecules are not stable in a thermodynamic sense. Life can be thought out as a dynamical hypercycle (DNA encodes proteins, proteins help DNA to self-replicate, DNA encodes proteins, etc.) that can survive indefinitely as long as free energy is available for it, and as long as self-replication goes faster than the destruction of information carriers. Mutations in the informational chain provide natural selection and evolution toward more complex species, the researchers explain.

As RT News reports, “their theory proposes that hypothetical particles form together to create cosmic strings, or ‘necklaces’,  which could themselves prove to be a building block of this nuclear life inside the same stars which illuminate the universe. These cosmic necklaces would be the stellar, nuclear equivalents of the DNA and RNA which form the basis of organic life here on Earth.

Humanity has yet to detect these one-dimensional cosmic strings and the elementary particles with only one magnetic pole which create them (monopoles), but the new study posits they can form into one-, two- and three- dimensional structures, in much the same way atoms join up through chemical bonds to form organic molecules.

These cosmically “complex” structures would eventually survive long enough in the extreme nuclear furnace at the heart of a star to replicate while harnessing the fusion energy, theoretically causing the star to dim.”

“Information stored in the RNA (or DNA) encodes the mechanism of self-replication,” Chudnovsky said.

This controversial theory is fascinating, especially since scientists propose these “self-replicating nuclear species” could develop intelligence, potentially surpassing our own.

“Since they would be evolving very fast, they could find a way to explore the cosmos beyond their star, as we have done,” Chudnovsky said.

“They could establish communication and travel between stars. Maybe we should look for their presence in space.”
