Lookin for Peer Review on my theories.

Hey Science People:

 

I'm an entrepreneur, a non-academic, and increasingly an evolutionary science nut.

 

I recently emerged some 'thought paper' concepts on evolutionary origins of brains, and Life, and I could use some critique and review. I don't have academic networks to tap into, so I thought I would try a science blog or two. Never been on a blog before.

 

I'm a technical writer professionally, and a simpleton by philosophy, so the material is pretty easy to understand, and short.

We’re not a true scientific journal, but we like reviewing papers. Some of us are arguably qualified referees in various disciplines, and the others try to learn by example and imitation. :shrug:

 

Your paper sounds like it belongs in the biology forum, so just go there and create a thread for it. You won’t be allowed to include links in your posts until you reach a post count of 10, but if this is a burden, just enter your links with spaces in them, and one of us moderators/administrators will fix them and if helpful bump up your post count to avoid the restriction.

 

I’m a programmer just around the beltway from you, in Silver Spring. I’m more of a math and physics sort than a biologist, but it’s nearly impossible for a math-based programmer of my generation not to have been sucked into enough bioinformatics to have gotten pretty acquainted with evolutionary biology.

 

I’m sure you’ll find lots of folk interested in critiquing your thoughts. Enjoy!

Well actually, the origin of life theory I came up with is largely based on the dynamics of energy and matter.

 

In suggests that biology is based on physics and chemistry. So in this case, that expertise is what I seek for this particular OOL theory.

I would have to say that unless you are talking about the supernatural most theories about the origin of life have to do with physics and chemistry.

Here is the theory, I hope I'm posting it in the right place...
