New Twist Found in the Story of Life’s Start (2014)

It proposes that life came from semiconducting crystals (various rocks and sediments in the ocean of hot primordial soup) affected by electrical discharges from ionosphere, and that right-hand chirality of isomers was influenced by Earth's magnetic field in Precambrea era.

That is...not true, or at least a little misleading. Each class of molecule in earth life twists the same way as other members of that class but not all classes twist the same. For example, nucleotides twist right/D, while amino acids twist left/L.

  8. I can not ignore the possible relationship of the
  inorganic and organic rhelms suggested by the transition of
  cycloidal to helical motion, whether the vining of the
  morning glory or the DNA helix. Could it be that evolution is
  a function of the relative cycloidal curvature of space; 
  location in time on the brachistocrone, so to speak, 
  ie: that evolution is a sort of continuous creation?

  9. It is tempting to suggest that the material world is the
  rehlm of the curate cycloid from the limit of the common
  cycloid to the limit of the circle. and that; 
  energy (waves) is the rehlm of the prolate cycloid from the
  limit of the common cycloid to the limit of the line, and
  that; the limit of the point/center/axis is the rehlm of the
  V-oid and the black hole: and that; 
  the inorganic world of life is the rhelm of the helix.
