That’s not how the scientists frame it.
More like a specific set of conditions
that enabled certain molecular reactions, but it’s not for me to explain
And that roll started with the Kerbs cycle getting established.

What process animates cells and gives life to lifeless matter? What brings our own lives to an end? The Krebs cycle is the answer - and it could turn our picture of life on Earth upside down. Watch the Q&A here: https://youtu.be/UqsqJM8g604 Nick’s book ‘Transformer: The Deep Chemistry of Life and Death’ is out now: https://geni.us/X1cOOL8 Subscribe for regular science videos: http://bit.ly/RiSubscRibe For decades, biology has been dominated by information – the power of genes. Yet there is no difference in the information content between a living cell and one that died a moment ago.
Nick Lane takes us on a journey which turns the standard view upside down, capturing an extraordinary scientific renaissance that is hiding in plain sight. At its core is an amazing cycle of reactions that uses energy to transform inorganic molecules into the building blocks of life – and the reverse. To understand this cycle is to fathom the deep coherence of the living world. It connects the origin of life with the devastation of cancer, the first photosynthetic bacteria with our own mitochondria, sulfurous sludges with the emergence of consciousness, and the trivial differences between ourselves with the large-scale history of our planet. This talk was recorded at the Royal Institution on 20 May 2022.
What’s going on here?
Where did I say life doesn’t migrate throughout this planet?
Lets not suppose that, until you show some evidence, it remains a pointless pipe dream.
Come on, you know how evolution works, those skills were acquired to survive extreme challenges that happen right here on Earth.
So that enable them to survive for a while in space.
It’s not magic.
That would require Hollywood Magic.
In the sequel you can explain how they got inside the comet.
Oh my god.
All coming from the same direction? Or from all over?
That’s the scariest thing you’ve said yet.
Please tell me I’m just don’t get your humor, the way you miss mine.
Oh and I appreciate that old stories say that Tardigrade evolution is a mystery, those gaps have been filled in:
… contemplative coloring, and data searches, which can be enhanced with microscopy wet labs. Students gain insight into the invertebrate world of the highly adaptable, ubiquitous microorganisms known colloquially as “water bears,” generating a microevolutionary and macroevolutionary perspective through a narrative that includes an introduction to the TimeTree database."
