Abstract
The structural development of the universe differs significantly from the initial rapid cooling after the Big Bang and the later rise of life on Earth. These structures span a vast range, from the cosmic web and galaxies to stars and planets. Earlier studies on free energy rate density (FERD) flows suggested a trend of increasing energy density through cosmic and life systems over time. According to this, galactic structures were indicated to be less complex than stellar ones due to the estimated energy flow per mass. However, recent findings in cosmic evolution reveal that large energy flows, including those from gravitational collapse in the cosmic web and active galactic nuclei (AGN or quasars), played a key role in forming these dissipative structures, often in stages of smaller sizes. For example, if we include the energy flow from the cosmic web’s collapse, the AGN phase of younger galaxies, stellar energy processes, and Earth's own cooling from gravitational collapse and radioactive decay, it appears that the FERD might actually decrease during this phase as the energy gradients dissipate and the system cools, creating more stable conditions conducive to life. However, during this cosmic structural development phase, the cascade of energy flow, much like turbulent fluid dynamics, seems to serve as a better analogy for understanding the evolution of these complex structures.
