INTERPLAY BETWEEN RAPID AND SLOW QUENCHING IN PREBIOTIC EVOLUTION

Prebiotic evolution on the primitive Earth could have proceeded through the interplay between the two modes of quenching, rapid and slow, of the synthesized products. The rapid quenching instrumental to stabilizing the synthesized products occurring near the surface of the Earth materializes as traversing from the high temperature specific to the energy source driving synthetic reactions, such as the photons from the sun or the magmatic heat from the core mantle of the Earth, to the normal ambient temperature near the surface. In contrast, the slow quenching as a necessary vehicle for disintegrating the synthesized products into the raw materials for the subsequent synthetic reactions to successively follow materializes as traversing from the normal ambient temperature near the surface of the Earth to the extremely low temperature characterizing deep outer space. A means of reaching out to deep outer space from the Earth is through the emission of the microwave photons. The microwave photons can be emitted in the process of orientational polarization of electric dipole moments intrinsic to the synthesized oligomeric products.
