Ana Maria Mihalcea, MD, PHD, Author of Light Medicine: A New Paradigm - The Science of Light, Spirit, and Longevity (www.ammedicalmd.com) interviews Ronald Patrick Marriott, CEO of Mantle Dynamics and Engineer at General Electric (https://www.f6s.com/ronaldmarriott and facebook - Mantle Dynamics) about atmospheric biology. We discuss that more than 800 million viruses are deposited per square meter above the planetary boundary layer and that everyday billions of viruses and millions of bacteria raining down from the upper planetary atmosphere to earth. 8% of the human genome are endogenous retroviruses and 50% of the human genome consists of transposons, which are virus like jumping genes.
We discuss the evolutionary implications of “from viruses comes all life” and how these biological facts shape a different picture that makes fear of nature and our reaction to it questionable.
