of pre-biotic amino acids. Acoustic energy could also have been
involved as atmospheric or submarine pressures, which would have
been higher than today due to cosmic expansion. Photonics and
phononics are therefore seen to be central to the origins of life
on earth. But there are other early-life associations between SFT
with its photon chemistry and the big bang with its subsequent
universal expansion. What were the conditions when strands of
DNA formed, and how did they form and why? The double helix
shape of DNA is suggestive of an SFT process involving amino
acids acting like spinors, perhaps being stretched elastically by
strong, vertical gravitational forces within the surface of the proto-
earth where energy cycles due to a violent and chaotic weather
system and strong cyclic gravitational forces were in place. At
some point chemical reactions turning EM energy into chemical
and photonic forms of stored energy may have been the driver
behind the formation of strands of elastic molecules that could act
to take currents across boundary regions of heterogeneity within
the proto-earth's hydrated surface regions such as rock pools, lakes
and lagoons with their sand and other weathered particles. Again,
how did primitive cells form, and what where the conditions on the
