Panspermia just got confirmedhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-026-02791-z
>>17086718There's already a thread about this and it doesn't prove panspermia.
>>17086740Whoops I didn't see itBut he didn't put spore creatures in the thumbnail so how was I supposed to know?
>>17086740What would prove panspermia, then
>>17086777Actual evidence for panspermia?
>>17086785Do you need to see all of the necessary components immediately start recombining into RNA on a given impact site?
>>17086718Life seems like a common sense thing.When you think about it you realize its as common as basic chemical reactions, like rust on mild steel. Theres life everywhere where complex molecules can form without being destroyed too often by excessive heat or radiation.
>>17086718It doesn't prove panspermia but it greatly increases the probability that life exists saturated across the trillions of galaxies in the observable universe. There is also that Nobel prize in chemistry that was just awarded to Henri B. Kagan and KensÅ Soai for solving the chirality problem. Homochirality spontaneously emerges just like self-replicating polynucleotides. I've said it over and over, but abiogenesis is almost solved. We're like 5 years away, MAYBE 10 years at most, from a complete solution. Very cool!
>>17086718Guys, I just found construction materials in the truck of the guys who are building my new houseThis proves my house has been built somewhere else and they just stole it, put it on of their trucks, and they will put it there in a few months, they didn't actually build anything
Spore 2008 was underrated
>>17086846>This proves my house has been built somewhere elseYes, the components were made somewhere else.>they just stole it,No, it just proves them moved the components from one place to another before assembling it into a house.
>>17086843>I've said it over and over, but abiogenesis is almost solved. We're like 5 years away, MAYBE 10 years at most, from a complete solution. Very cool!Abiogenesis has been two weeks away from being solved since Miller-Urey
>>17088180panspermia means life was originated in another planet
>>17088229Not complex life forms, though, and it assumes the base components of life, single cells, are just as much life as a fully assembled complex being even though the components of a house, construction materials, are not just as much a house which is why the analogy falls apart, life is fractal, houses are not.
>>17086718It's contamination
>>17088233a nucleotid base is not alive
