ABSTRACT
Galen, a brilliant surgeon of the AD 2nd century, studied his craft by
treating sports injuries in his hometown of Pergamon in the Roman
empire. He learned many eclectic fields of knowledge, including
astronomy at Pergamon library, second only to the one at Alexandria.
Moving to Rome he treated gladiators at the Coliseum before
becoming physician to the emperor Marcus Aurelius. Anatomy has
long been a basis for medicine, but we have recently begun to
learn how the body and perhaps the mind are constructed from
astronomical and cosmological forces. Biological species evolved
forming a phylogenetic ‘tree of life’ in a specific temporal order
ranging from single-celled organisms to microbes, to algal mats, to
dinosaurs and toman, including fractal and synergistic relationships
between life forms. Obtained via self-field theory (SFT), a new
mathematical theory of the gravitational structure for our galaxy
may help explain a recently discovered biodiversity cycle of 62
million years (Ma). Rather than survival of the fittest, the ‘small
picture’ seen at the terrestrial level, the ‘big picture’ of biodiversity
shows dependence on blackbody radiation of EM fields within the
solar system and acoustic (A) fields within the galaxy. SFT suggests
the gravitational structure within the cosmos and cosmological
evolution are related to the evolution of physiological structures
and biological evolution on the earth. These links reveal a wider
evolutionary process whereby the universe has been expanding
after the big bang, evolving into superclusters, galaxies and solar
systems. Cosmological evolution relates to the energy spectrum of
both EM and A field radiation available on the earth in the past over
time and the size and structure of species as they evolved. Genera
may have evolved in situ from∼3-4 billion years ago after the earthmoon system formed when biophotonic and acoustic spectra on the
earth were more energetic and life forms smaller and less solid than
now. Life may be evolving across the universe. Intelligence, memory
and other cognition may link to the evolution of the cosmos and its
gravitational structure.
