In the present work the Stochastic generalization of the quantum hydrodynamicanalogy (SQHA) is used to obtain the far from equilibrium kinetics for a realgas and its fluid phase. In gasses and their liquids, interacting byLennard-Jones potentials whose mean distance is bigger than the quantumcorrelation distance and than the molecular interaction distance r0, it ispossible to define a Fokker-Plank type equation of motion as a function of themean phase space molecular volume that far from equilibrium shows maximizingthe dissipation of a part of the generalized SQHA-free energy. In the case of areal gas with no chemical reactions and at quasi-isothermal conditions, theprinciple disembogues into the maximum free energy dissipation confirming theexperimental outputs of electro-convective instability. In this case, the modelshows that the transition to stationary states with higher free energy canhappen and that, in incompressible fluids, the increase of free energy isalmost given by a decrease of entropy leading to the appearance of self-orderedstructures. The output of the theory showing that the generation of order, viaenergy dissipation, is more efficient in fluids than in gasses, because oftheir incompressibility, leads to the re-conciliation between physics andbiology furnishing the eplanation why the life was born in water. Thetheoretical output also suggests that the search for life out of the earth mustconsider the possibility to find it in presence of liquid phases different fromwater.
