Self-organization scenario grounded on new experimental results

Recently published experimental results proving that well-located plasma created in air by quick injection of energy naturally evolves into a coherent, apparently stable and luminous gaseous body, dubbed fireball, are explained considering a new scenario of self-organization. Bordered by a functional double layer emerged by direct conversion of thermal energy into electric field energy through a mechanism exploiting collective effects of quantum processes, the fireball survives for durations that depend on the environmental conditions. Based on this scenario of self-organization that evolves in a time span in which the second law of thermodynamics ceases to work, enigmas as the ball lightning and the origin of life becomes potentially explainable.
