Abstract—As humanity accelerates toward the era of deep-space exploration and theoretical interstellar colonization, the physiological and evolutionary effects of extreme cosmological en-vironments remain one of the most critical unsolved challenges in astrobiology and space medicine. Specifically, gravitational time dilation—a phenomenon predicted by general relativity occurring near massive celestial bodies such as black holes—presents a profound temporal stressor. Under such extreme temporal stretching, human cellular mechanisms (e.g., DNA replication, protein folding, and metabolic homeostasis) would experience aging, radiation exposure, and oxidative damage at radically altered relative rates. Because empirical human data under these relativistic conditions does not exist, we must rely on advanced mathematical simulations and robust biological analogs.
This paper introduces a comprehensive, novel Bio-Temporal Adaptation Modeling framework designed to predict human cellular evolution over a simulated 1000-year period under extreme gravitational time dilation (10× normal time). We utilize extensive genomic data extracted from the polyextremophile bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans—an organism renowned for its unparalleled resistance to radiation and desiccation—as a biological analog for extreme systemic resilience. We engineer a highly detailed time-series dataset comprising 16 interconnected biological parameters spanning DNA repair efficiency (e.g., Base Excision Repair, Homologous Recombination), protein thermo-dynamic stability, and cellular metabolic rates.
To forecast the complex, non-linear evolutionary trajectories over this timescale, we propose a sophisticated hybrid deep learning architecture. This architecture integrates a multi-output Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network enhanced with a Bahdanau Attention mechanism to predict continuous phys-iological parameters and classify the prevailing evolutionary adaptation phase. Furthermore, a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) is deployed in parallel to learn the manifold of viable biological adaptation, acting as an anomaly detection system to identify pathological evolutionary mutations that signify imminent cellu-lar failure.
Extensive empirical evaluations demonstrate the superiority of the proposed framework. The model achieves an outstanding phase classification accuracy of 94.29% alongside highly pre-cise multi-variate forecasts (DNA repair R2 = 0.8864, protein stability R2 = 0.9373, metabolic rate R2 = 0.9233). The VAE
successfully identifies critical systemic failures in anomalous test trajectories. To bridge the gap between complex deep learning outputs and end-user interpretability, we developed an interac-tive, real-time web-based prediction dashboard powered by a Flask REST API. This platform visualizes the predicted trajec-tory across four newly defined evolutionary phases: Acute Crisis, Replication Stabilization, Pathway Integration, and Systemic Resilience. This research establishes a pioneering computational and bioinformatics foundation for preparing terrestrial biology for the rigors of relativistic interstellar travel.
