ABSTRACT: Living
organisms are high ordered and organized systems accumulating and successively
using low entropy energy to support all the processes needed for life. This low
level of entropy is a required condition in order to make possible the use of
endogenous energy for producing, for example, mechanical work. The commonly
accepted picture of condensed matter physics, exclusively considering the
perturbative coupling between QED Zero-Point-Field also known as “Quantum
Vacuum” and the matter system, is unable to thoroughly explain the true origin
of this low entropy energy reservoir and its dynamics. Recent researches
instead suggested that energy and mass of every particle or body could be
actually considered as arising from Quantum Vacuum dynamics which, in turn, can
exhibit, under suitable conditions always occurring in the case of living
systems, a coherent behavior characterized by a strong phase correlation
between matter and an electromagnetic field trapped inside this ensemble. In
this paper the preliminary model of Quantum Vacuum already proposed by author
is reformulated in terms of QED coherence in condensed matter showing it is able
to explain the origin of internal energy stock of living organisms. Within this
theoretical framework, an interpretation of some important experimental results
about biophotons emission by living systems under the influence of external
stimuli is also proposed, suggesting their origin could also arise from Quantum
Vacuum dynamics. This model, as shown, opens very interesting and exciting
scenarios of further developments in the understanding of the birth and
dynamics of life.
