About this episode

Astrophysicist Robert Fosbury discusses the connection between solar energy and the metabolic processes that sustain life on Earth.

Astrophysicist Robert Fosbury joins Dr Max Gulhane to explore an extraordinary idea: that 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 ligh...
