The Cosmic Seed : Revisiting the Panspermia Hypothesis
Creators
Description
Throughout history, scientists have debated about the origins of life. Several theories were proposed after experimentation and hypotheses from famous scholars. These include the Primordial Soup Theory, which suggests that life began in a 'soup' of organic molecules, possibly in the oceans or other bodies of water, catalyzed by various energy sources like lightning or ultraviolet light it starts to fold into complex structures and later into the four macromolecules that formed the building blocks of the cell-basic units of life. The Hydrothermal Vent Theory is another similar theory that suggests life originated at hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor, where mineral-laden water provides a rich source of chemicals. The last and most important is the cosmic theory, stating that life did not originate on earth, instead it was brought here from elsewhere in the universe, possibly by comets, meteorites, or interstellar dust in the form of spores called 'cosmoza'. Within the three theories, I believe the cosmic theory should be supported due to existing scientific proof in nature, the logical existence of life in space, and that the other theories only relied on experimental evidence and have instances of logical and scientific flaws.
