Astrophysicist Robert Fosbury joins me to explore an extraordinary idea: the dominant photon energy of our Sun closely matches the metabolic activation energy that powers life on Earth.
We discuss:
• How stars generate order by exporting entropy as light
• Why living systems mirror stellar thermodynamics
• The 0.66 electron volt “control barrier” shared across biology
• The 10²¹ scaling relationship between solar photons and electron transport chains
• How near-infrared light influences mitochondrial function
• Why indoor environments are metabolically different from natural light environments
• The quantum biology of water, tunneling, and photometabolism
Robert Fosbury is an honorary professor at University College London and Emeritus Astronomer at the European Southern Observatory. He has dedicated the past 10 years to understanding life:light interactions.
