The Yellow Dream Project Series: Conceptual, Experimental, and Final Astrobiological Models

  • 1. Independent researcher

Description

The Yellow Dream Project is a multidisciplinary exploration of sulfur-based astrobiology that integrates conceptual modeling, laboratory experimentation, and theoretical synthesis.
It proposes that hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and carbon disulfide (CS₂) may serve as viable alternative solvents for life under cryogenic, high-pressure, and reducing conditions.

This publication contains three companion papers:

1. The Yellow Dream: Conceptual Model of a Sulfur-Based Biosphere Beyond the Water–Oxygen Paradigm


2. The Yellow Dream: Experimental Simulation of Prebiotic Chemistry in a Sulfur-Solvent (H₂S–CS₂) Ocean World


3. The Yellow Dream: Final Astrobiological Model

 

Together they form the Yellow Dream Project Series, proposing a unified framework for sulfur-driven prebiotic evolution and alternative biochemistry.
The project expands the boundaries of planetary habitability and introduces predictive biosignature models for exoplanetary research.

Abstract (English)

Project Overview
The Yellow Dream Project is a multidisciplinary exploration of sulfur-based astrobiology integrating conceptual modeling, laboratory experimentation, and theoretical synthesis. It proposes that hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and carbon disulfide (CS₂) may serve as viable alternative solvents for life under cryogenic, high-pressure, and reducing planetary conditions.

Together, these studies form the Yellow Dream Project Series, providing a unified framework for sulfur-driven prebiotic evolution and alternative biochemistry.

Companion Abstracts

1. Conceptual Model
This paper develops the theoretical foundation of the Yellow Dream hypothesis, describing potential sulfur-based biochemical systems and their prebiotic chemistry under extraterrestrial conditions.

2. Experimental Simulation
This study presents laboratory simulations of sulfur-rich environments, testing stability, reactivity, and viability of sulfur-based organic compounds under cryogenic and high-pressure setups.

3. Final Astrobiological Model
This synthesis integrates conceptual and experimental results to propose predictive models of planetary habitability and biosignature detection for exoplanetary research.
