Piezoelectric Electrolysis as a Source of Oxygen on the Ocean Floor and the Mechanism of First Cell Formation in Quartz Pores
Abstract
This paper presents two interconnected hypotheses. First: dissolved oxygen in the deep-water part of the ocean is produced on the seafloor via piezoelectric electrolysis of quartz-bearing rocks under water pressure, independent of photosynthesis. Second: the first living cells originated inside quartz pores of hydrothermal zones, where piezoelectric current, helium from radioactive decay, and confined electromagnetic field created conditions under which the emergence of life was physically inevitable. Testable predictions are proposed.
