Look up the phenomenon of "cymatics". My personal theory is spontaneous organization of cells is possible due to the frequencies created by hydrothermal vents and that this phenomenon might have been a major driver in abiogenesis.
If you have ever seen where they put sand on a vibrating metal plate, and it creates symmetrical patterns, that's what I'm referring to.

- standardly 3y agoWow! That's definitely me, I forgot I made that post! I was actually studying biology in college at the time. It's a layman theory, I am not a biologist, but wish a real scientist could expound on the idea.

- mandmandam 3y agoThat's a very cool personal theory, and I would love to see it get explored.
