From the origin of continents to the DNA double helix: the revolutionary application of the DLVO (Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey, and Overbeek) diagram reveals the invisible thread linking colloidal stability to the entire evolution of the Cosmos.
This volume seeks to bridge one of the most profound gaps in contemporary knowledge: the lack of a paradigm capable of unifying the entirety of human and natural experience under a single evolutionary theme. Despite the modern explosion of scientific data, our understanding of the world remains fragmented. The author challenges this separation, arguing that humanity is not an isolated observer but an element intrinsically connected to the same logic governing the expansion of the universe.
The theoretical journey begins within the planet’s depths, re-examining the physico-chemical nature of magmas. Through an original revision of the processes governing the Earth’s crust, the text demonstrates how seemingly distant phenomena – the birth of continents, the origin of water via hydrogen-bonding under critical conditions, and the emergence of life through self-organization – are correlated manifestations of a single colloidal process. This “magmatic phase” is not merely a geological event, but the very matrix in which the first codes of biological complexity were written.
The heart of the work lies in the revolutionary application of the DLVO (Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey, and Overbeek) diagram. Originally conceived to explain colloidal stability, this physico-mathematical tool is elevated here to a universal key. The author employs it to trace a continuous line across three scales of reality: the evolution of the Earth from its primordial origins, the development of the human being from conception to the end of life, and the expansion of the cosmos from the Big Bang to its current state. Each transition is analyzed through the rigor of Equilibrium Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics, identifying phase transition points by studying thermodynamic potential and utilizing Ginzburg-Landau partial differential equations.
The work culminates in an unprecedented model for the origin of DNA. By integrating global tectonic data, the colloidal theory of the Earth’s crust, and the study of amphiphiles, the author describes the molecule of life as the result of a specific convergence of physical forces and geochemical necessities. This book introduces a new mathematical formalism that reunites molecular biology with cosmology, offering a powerful conceptual framework for future research.
