Trying to get down all these ideas because they are pretty nebulous but they float in and out and something needs to be written down.
I have thoughts of how sensical panspermia has to be due to the obvious correlation to patterns of life in the known universe.
Most eggs are fertilized by the process of many many seeds being introduced to the environment of a single egg.
As it relates to the earth, I envision many seeds of life (water, bacteria, fundamental life giving elements [see At Home in the Universe]) shot thoughout the galaxy in an effort to spread life.
This process is so common throughout the processes on earth I would expect to see these processes exibited on a larger galactic/universal scale.
Continuing on with that idea, most often newborn of many species are naturally born into environments that are conducive to their early flourishing and development.
Human embryos are fed by their mother through umbilical cord, how do mammalian eggs function. Are embryos surrounded by nutrient rich substances to foster their growth.
If so, would this pattern also not apply on a large scale?
Would "life" be placed on a nutrient rich planet in a resource rich environment like the universe for it to thrive?

Re: Panspermia, universal commonality of processes etc..
some research should be done in the areas of the following to solidify the idea.
1) fertilization/pollination methods throughout living species on earth, plant and animal.
2) nutrient delivery to embryos or budding seeds.

Re: Panspermia, universal commonality of processes etc..
living creatures are typically designed by nature to be submersed in a food for their growth and development. This is true in many thriving species from small to large.
humans are the perfect living species to inhabit and thrive in our 4th dimensional environment.
my thinking here may have been one of humans perspective.Human creativity is what enables this living species to develop in to what it has since realization/evolution of sentience.
A single 3 dimensional point of view coupled with an inquisitive analytical and creative mind.
How does this serve the function of life in this universal reality?
Does this promote a specific kind of evolution that would otherwise not exist?
Does the death factor motivate biological and subsequent mental and spiritual evolution from this perspective?

Re: Panspermia, universal commonality of processes etc..
I also decided on the bus home this week that determining what motivates and interests children should be the primary focus of education in the years around highschool.
I believe that early elementary schools should focus on building strong fundamental language and basic conceptual understandings in children.
Child Psychologists could easily answer what these are and when they are strong enough to start pursuing individual interest and capability in children.
I felt that fostering these interests could be nothing but beneficial for all involved as the individual benefits from personal motivation to develop their interest skillset.
It also benefits society becase now you have individuals that are not motivated by the typical societal norms.
I think these often dictate many of the pursuits that end up driving most lifestyles.
Not having direction and having no time to develop personal interest competency should be avoided at all costs as it only leads to wasted talent.
Basically, try and avoid becoming me.

Re: Panspermia, universal commonality of processes etc..
This is applicable in this thread because I believe the human imagination as well as the scientific and discovery driven mind are the object of our placement in this 3 dimensional environment that is bound by the 4th dimension (time).
Living sentient creatures are greatly rewarded for their discovery which leads to technological advancement and hopefully enlightenment.
Hopefully this results in evolution of the species toward an end of multidimensional existence.
This is the purpose of life...maybe, just a thought

Re: Panspermia, universal commonality of processes etc..
Does this seem to be along the lines of considering humans the perfect race?
Don't think so, but we do seem to have a pretty good chance to take the next step in evolution.
I only say that because I am having a hard time anticipating out next biological evolution that will entail anything physical.
I like to think that, (and hopefully this idea wasn't totally inspired by Deepak Chopra), humans next step in evolution will be a mental or "spiritual" evolution.

Re: Panspermia, universal commonality of processes etc..
I also once had a thought that one thing that separated us from many sea creatures was our ability to remember, i.e. memory.
For whatever reason I figured that was key in our evolving out of the water.
Something along the lines of "that's why fish have no memory"
One problem with that is the dolphin, which is obviously very intelligent as are whales.

Re: Panspermia, universal commonality of processes etc..
One other concept that is somewhat applicable here is the evolutionary motivation of "death".
Is the death process designed to be traumatic and frightening to motivate active evolution of living creatures?
If death were not a factor would there be evolution?
Why do most religions treat death similarly.
Meaning, why is the afterlife always "paradise" or "hell" and "forever".

infinite travel in the fourth dimension?
in death you become multidimentional. This is why inatimate matter blinks in and out ofexistance.
string theory?
so if you become inatimate matter, you will blink in and out ofexistance

Re: Panspermia, universal commonality of processes etc..
Did our sens of vision purposefully develop in an aquatic environment to adapt us to 3 dimensional perspectives?
It would certainly make sense.
this species will develop this sense to flourish on land..
