The magnetosphere of Jupiter as a seat of plasma life and its moon Europa as a seat of chemical life?The FM signals in radio frequency range 12-40 MHz from Jupiter's moon Ganymede have been reported 4 years ago. The claimed FM signals from the moon Europa have received a lot of attention. In human radio wave communications in the frequency range 87.5- 108.0 MHz frequency modulation is used to code information. This has raised speculations about intelligent life under the ice cover of Europe and raised the question whether the radiation could code for information and even represent a response to the signals from the Earth. This finding is especially interesting from the TGD point of view since frequency modulation is a basic vay to code information in TGD inspired quantum biology. Also the phenomenological notion of magnetic flux tube is central in the description of the magnetic field of Jupiter: in the TGD framework this notion is not phenomenological and is the basic notion in practically all applications of TGD based on the notion of field body and the hierarchy of phases of ordinary matter labelled by effective Planck constant $h_{eff}$. Gravitational and electric Planck constants associated with long range classical gravitational and electric fields are of special importance. Frequency modulation is the key mechanism of communications and control in TGD based quantum biology. This motivates the development of the TGD based models for the magnetospheres of Jupiter and its moons and also an analog for the maser cyclotron instability. The ensuing model for Jupiter's auroras is consistent with the empirical facts. Also the possibility of plasma life at the field bodies associated with Jupiter as well as primitive life in the interior of Europa can be considered. See the chapter Quantum gravitation and quantum biology in TGD Universe or the article The magnetosphere of Jupiter as a seat of plasma life and its moon Europa as a seat of chemical life?.
