Life as the cosmic converter

As wavelengths go, those which give us colored photons are small fry. Why should they be accorded the honor being a constancy?

I take mass and 'boil' it and 'boil' it. What gets boiled off of the mass is its hyper-excited version. Energy is hyper-excited mass. What causes it to 'cool' off and become 'storable' mass again? Is there a cosmic converter we don't know anything about?

On this planet we see Life acting as a converter. Even here, we don't see Life per se. We get to see it in various 'living' and 'dying' forms - seed to fruit and back to seed; chicken and egg and then back to egg on and on. Is this Life's 'Alternating current' - AC DC AC DC on and on?

These Life forms here loop mass-elements - carbon and the other minerals - and certain energy-wave lengths through them. Leaves convert light, make wood which then burns to release wave lengths of light and heat. This is the extent of our experience.

Surely, there would be Life somewhere that loops and processes other wavelengths. Imagine a wood that gathers radioactive radiations and releases gamma rays when 'burnt'. Can its forms be organized to do so here? Can we make living fuel-cells from these forms? Organic energy storage devices vastly efficient than the ones we make of lead plates and nickel and cadmium. Can we grow and pluck these energy-'fruits' and ''feed" them to our robots and machines?

Can we 'grow' shelter shells to dwell in - chemically sensitive 'living' struts-scaffolding that pick up nutrients from base-troughs to grow 'web- &-skin" that not only takes care of power and HVAC needs but is able to sense and repair damage and is also programmed to be safely biodegradable?
