So does this mean that any planet with a reduced atmosphere, electrical storms, silicate-rich rocky surfaces, and liquid water would have a good chance of developing life, at some point?
- dekhn 5y agoyou can't conclude anything from these experiments like that. we can conclude that many planets are likely to have rich organic soups, but nobody has made plausible link from organic soups to true living information processing systems.
- freeflight 5y ago> nobody has made plausible link from organic soups to true living information processing systems Even "true living information processing systems", whatever those are supposed to be, are only made up of the same basic parts as said organic soup.
- dekhn 5y agoyes, but apparently through some irreducible complexity (arguable), and most of the original history of we got from "a soup" to "life" has been erased.
- raxxorrax 5y agoReminds me how they eye was seen as counter argument against evolution because its complexity couldn't have developed naturally. But today we pretty much know how it evolved from a photosensitive spot to the complex mechanism we see (huh!) today.
