The Importance of Interplay of Repulsive and Attractive Forces inAging

Abstract

The role of repulsive and attractive forces at the molecular level in the aging process is a constant, omnipresent part that occurs over time, in all chemical processes, not just biochemical ones. The same thing happens in concrete, because as time goes by, it tends to become more and more compact, which is a result of the repulsive forces being minimized and the attractive ones being optimized.
And since it is a process that happens in all or almost all molecules, our body is no exception. So, the molecules that make up us tend to compact because the molecules that make up us tend to compact over time. That is: repulsions are minimized, and attractions are optimized. This is why people tend to be smaller as they age.
Life is based on the interaction between attractive and repulsive forces and is a dynamic process that is strictly regulated by millions of years of evolution.
We can say that it is an amazingly accurate process, which is surprising because, the attractive and repulsive forces start from the atoms, which have positive and negative charges.
And even more so because it is not understood how these charges are generated, without referring to electrons or protons, but what is it that gives charge to said subatomic particles; it is much less understood why different charges attract, and like charges repel.
So, projecting the interaction of charges from the subatomic, atomic, and molecular level, until reaching the complex organic molecules, made up of very complex as well as very large molecules, then we understand why it is so difficult to understand the interaction of repulsive forces and attractive in relation to life, because in fact, this dynamic interaction, carefully regulated by millions of years of evolution, hatches until we reach what we call life.
And from there we move on to another equally complex question: where do the elements and energy necessary for the cell to carry out these interactions come from? These not only have to do with cellular functions, but even with maintaining the necessary dynamic or even normal cell's shape.
