The central difficulties confronting us at present in exobiology are the problems of the physical forces which sustain three-dimensional organisms, i.e., how one dimensional systems with only nearest interaction and two dimensional ones with its regular vibrations results in an integrated three-dimensional functionality. For example, a human lung has a dimensionality of 2.9 and thus should be measured in m2.9. According to thermodynamics, the first life-like system should have a small number of degrees of freedom, so how can evolution, via cycles of matter, lead to intelligence and theoretical knowledge? Or, more generally, what mechanisms constrain and drive this evolution? We are now on the brink of reaching an understanding below the photon level, into the domain where quantum events implode to the geometric phase which maintains the history of a quantum object. Even if this would exclude point to point communication, it could make it possible to manipulate the molecular level from below, in the physical scale, and result in a new era of geometricised engineering. As such, it would have a significant impact on space exploration and exobiology.
目前在宇宙生物学领域，我们面临的核心难题是维持三维生物体的物理力问题，即仅具有最近邻相互作用的一维系统以及具有规则振动的二维系统如何产生集成的三维功能。例如，人类肺部的维度为2.9，因此应以平方米为单位进行测量。根据热力学原理，首个类似生命的系统应具有较少的自由度，那么通过物质循环的进化如何能产生智能和理论知识呢？或者更普遍地说，是什么机制制约并推动了这种进化？我们即将深入到光子层面以下进行理解，进入量子事件内爆至维持量子物体历史的几何相位的领域。即便这会排除点对点通信，但它有可能在物理尺度上从微观层面操控分子，从而开启几何化工程的新时代。如此一来，它将对太空探索和宇宙生物学产生重大影响。
