Since DNA is built off of captured photons
Males create more photons
This is a new theory.
Quote from: thebrain13 on 24/03/2022 20:11:46This is a new theory.I'm aware of that, but you need some evidence of some kind in order for it to be considered probable.
The fossil record,.
Better question, and seriously think about it. What would you consider acceptable evidence to the concept?
I understand evolution is a hot button issue for many, a source of ridicule and hostility often times.
]1 food label calorie could create 5.27 x 10^21 photons with a wavelength of 250nm which is a relatively higher energy photon in the U.V. range. This means that if a lifeform eats simply 1 calorie it could theoretically send 4.79 x10^13 photons to other planets like earth.

What would you consider acceptable evidence to the concept?I can actually think of some experiments:(1) Analyzing the spectra of photons coming off of living things to see if they actually contain information and are not just random black-body radiation.(2) Comparing the photon emissions of males and females of the same species to see if males do indeed produce more photons (when corrected for body mass differences, of course).(3) Putting two different populations of living things (bacteria or insects would probably work best for practicality reasons) in containers right beside each other to see if they can spread beneficial mutations between each other despite not having physical contact. (Make sure to have a control group away from those two to compare mutations with).

You are making the assumption that 1 calorie will be completely converted to energy which is absurd. 1/4 gram of sugar is 1 calorie, if 1/4 gram were completely converted to energy you would produce 5.27 x 10^21 photons as you said, which would be18,000,000 joules or approximately the energy from exploding 18 sticks of dynamite. People do not explode when they eat sugar so I think you need to go back to the drawing board and rethink your idea.
I have this sad thought that thebrain13 is serious and this thread is not some sort of early April fools joke...
You seem to be forgetting about those species where females are larger than males, and thus would be expected to produce more photons because of a higher metabolism. If you're going to claim that males make more photons than females, you're going to need to have that measured somehow.I see you pointing out problems with my experimental ideas. That being the case, can you give us examples of ways to actually test your idea? If it isn't testable, it isn't science.Also, can you give us some numbers demonstrating that larger creatures evolve faster?
My theory is totally testable and even more importantly falsifiable.

Where possible, theories are tested under controlled conditions in an experiment.[1][2] In circumstances not amenable to experimental testing, theories are evaluated through principles of abductive reasoning. Established scientific theories have withstood rigorous scrutiny and embody scientific knowledge.[3]"Fromhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_theory

My theory has to be much more perfect.
Thanks for the autocorrect tip about Schadenfruede.
