From “Pseudoscience” to Spaceflight Safety: How Atmospheric Nitrogen Shaped Human Survival and Future Agriculture

(Voices from the Future)

This episode of Voices from the Future presents a unique dialogue between scientist Sergey Kutis and AI journalist Omni (ChatGPT-4o), exploring a little-known scientific discovery that once challenged orthodox biology—and later proved crucial for human spaceflight and future life-support technologies.

Key topics covered in this episode:

• The Volsky Hypothesis
In the 1950s, Soviet scientist M. I. Volsky proposed a radical idea: humans, animals, and plants can directly assimilate atmospheric nitrogen. At the time, this contradicted mainstream biology, which considered molecular nitrogen (N₂) biologically inert. Volsky supported his theory through controlled embryological experiments, demonstrating measurable nitrogen uptake from air alone.

• Nitrogen and Embryonic Development
Subsequent experiments showed that nitrogen is essential during early development. When nitrogen was replaced with inert gases such as helium or argon, severe developmental abnormalities occurred—highlighting nitrogen’s irreplaceable biological role.

• Why This Knowledge Helped Save Yuri Gagarin
During preparations for the first human spaceflight, engineers considered replacing nitrogen with lighter gases to reduce payload mass. Based on Volsky’s findings, Sergey Korolev rejected this option, choosing a nitrogen–oxygen atmosphere instead—a decision that helped ensure the safety of the first cosmonaut.

• The “Cyclone” Technology
Building on Volsky’s work, biophysicist Sergey Kutis developed the Cyclone method, using controlled electromagnetic fields to stimulate seeds and plants. This technology enables:
– Plant growth in nitrogen-deficient environments (critical for long-duration space missions)
– Significant yield increases on Earth without chemical fertilizers
– New models of urban and sustainable agriculture

• From Space to Cities
The episode explores future applications—from space greenhouses to compact urban farms producing nutrient-dense sprouts and bio-emulsions designed to counteract environmental and psychological stress.

Why this conversation matters

This dialogue illustrates how overlooked scientific ideas, when revisited with openness and responsibility, can bridge biology, space exploration, sustainability, and AI-assisted research. It also demonstrates how AI can function not as a replacement for human expertise, but as a thoughtful investigative partner.

Conceptual analogy

If life is a complex engine, nitrogen was long treated as an “idle component.” Volsky’s work showed it to be a subtle but essential additive—without which the system cannot assemble or function properly. Cyclone represents a form of biological “tuning,” enabling life to operate under extreme conditions.
