To the best of our knowledge, this is the first experimental evidence of the effect of isothermal changes in entropy on a living organism. In greater detail, the effect of the reduction of the total Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy (S) of the aquatic environment on the survival rate and body mass of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster was investigated. The tests were carried out in standard thermodynamic states at room temperature of 296.15 K and ambient atmospheric pressure of 1 bar. Two variants of entropy reduction (ΔS) were tested for ΔS = 28.49 and 51.14 J K mol compared to the blind and control samples. The entropy level was experimentally changed, using the quantum system for isothermal entropy reduction. This system is based on quantum bound entanglement of phonons and the phenomenon of phonon resonance (interference of phonon modes) in condensed matter (Silicon dioxide (SiO) and single crystals of Silicon (Si), Aluminum (Al) plates ("chips"), glass, and water). All studied organisms were of the same age (1 day). Mortality was observed daily until the natural death of the organisms. The investigations showed that changes in the Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy affected the survival and body mass of the fruit flies. On the one hand, the reduction in entropy under isothermal conditions in the aquatic environment for ΔS = 28.49 J K mol resulted in an extension of the lifespan and an increase in the body mass of female fruit flies. On the other hand, the almost twofold reduction in this entropy for ΔS = 51.14 J K mol shortened the lives of the males. Thus, the lifespan and body mass of flies turned out to be a specific reaction of metabolism related to changes in the entropy of the aquatic environment.
据我们所知,这是首次有实验证据表明,等熵变化对生物体的影响。更详细地说,研究了减少水生环境的总玻尔兹曼-吉布斯熵(S)对黑腹果蝇(Drosophila melanogaster)存活率和体重的影响。测试是在室温 296.15 K 和环境大气压 1 巴的标准热力学状态下进行的。测试了两种熵减少(ΔS)变体,与盲样和对照样相比,ΔS 分别为 28.49 和 51.14 J K mol。使用等熵减少的量子系统来实验性地改变熵水平。该系统基于声子的量子束缚纠缠和凝聚态中的声子共振(声子模式干涉)现象(二氧化硅(SiO)和硅(Si)单晶、铝(Al)板(“芯片”)、玻璃和水)。所有研究的生物体年龄相同(1 天)。每天观察死亡率,直到生物体自然死亡。研究表明,玻尔兹曼-吉布斯熵的变化影响了果蝇的生存和体重。一方面,在水生环境中等熵条件下的熵减少(ΔS = 28.49 J K mol)导致雌性果蝇的寿命延长和体重增加。另一方面,这种熵的近两倍减少(ΔS = 51.14 J K mol)使雄性果蝇的寿命缩短。因此,果蝇的寿命和体重是与水生环境熵变化相关的代谢特定反应。
