101. How Starlight Powers Living Systems | Prof. Robert Fosbury

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 light influences mitochondrial function• Why indoor environments are metabolically different from natural light environments• The quantum biology of water, tunneling, and photometabolismRobert Fosbury is an honorary professor at University College London and Emeritus Astronomer at the European Southern Observatory. He has applied his astrophysics background to matters of light & biology interaction with fascinating insights and perspectives.PODCAST SPONSORS🧡 HARDBLOCK Australia's Longest Running Bitcoin-only (₿) ExchangeUse code REGENPOD for AUD 10 of bitcoin post verification  https://www.hardblock.com.au/join/REGENPODSUPPORT MY WORK🚨 DAYLIGHT COMPUTER.
