The many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics increases the combinatorial space to play in for some otherwise unlikely seed event by tremendous amounts.

The many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics increases the combinatorial space to play in for some otherwise unlikely seed event by tremendous amounts. Also, we know stuff like the smallest observed polymerase, but we don't know what the smallest functional one would be that could have into it. We also have self-replicating pure RNA systems, though the components aren't abundant. But this is just what scientists came up with in one effort trying to make one to prove it is feasible: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2652413/#R7 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2652413/#R7
