We explore how light shaped life from an evolutionary perspective — from the great oxygenation event and mitochondrial endosymbiosis to modern understandings of role of ultraviolet light in health.

Dr. Alexander Wunsch, MD, PhD is a German physician, researcher and one of the world’s leading experts in photobiology and light medicine.

Astrophysicist Robert Fosbury joins Dr Max Gulhane to explore an extraordinary idea: that the dominant photon energy of our Sun closely matches the metabolic activation energy that powers life on Earth.

We discuss:
• How stars generate order by exporting entropy as light
• Why living systems mirror stellar thermodynamics
• The 0.66 electron volt “control barrier” shared across biology
• The 10²¹ scaling relationship between solar photons and electron transport chains
• How near-infrared light influences mitochondrial function
• Why indoor environments are metabolically different from natural light environments
• The quantum biology of water, tunneling, and photometabolism

Robert Fosbury is an honorary professor at University College London and Emeritus Astronomer at the European Southern Observatory. He has applied his astrophysics background to matters of light & biology interaction with fascinating insights and perspectives.

Modern humans are living in an environment radically different from the one our biology evolved to operate within. In this conversation, we explore how light, mitochondria, evolution, and physics shape aging, disease, mental health, and longevity. This episode reframes health not as a matter of isolated interventions, but as the consequence of whether we remain inside—or drift outside—the human biological envelope.

Dr Alistair Nunn is the Director of Science of The Guy Foundation Family Trust and Visiting Professor in Theoretical Quantum Biology & Bioenergetics Research Centre for Optimal Health at the University of Westminster, London, UK.
