• New recipes for origin of life may point to distant, inhabited planets

    New recipes for origin of life may point way to distant, inhabited planets
    https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2023/09/230919155043.htm
    Summary:
    Life on a faraway planet -- if it's out there -- might not look anything like life on Earth. But there are only so many chemical ingredients in the universe's pantry, and only so many ways to mix them. Scientists have now exploited those limitations
    to write a cookbook of hundreds of chemical recipes with the potential to give rise to life.

    Self-assembly, told you so!

    Save the triumphalism until somebody finds some actual evidence.

    The researchers have listed a bunch of potential life-starting chemicals, but this is just the hypothesis-generating stage. There's no experimental evidence to suggest that any of their hypotheses is right.

    A bunch of bottles filled with chemicals don't generate life any more
    than a box full of electronic parts creates a computer. The issue
    isn't parts, it's design.

    DNA won't self-assemble from a jar full of colored water with stuff
    dissolved. The math has been done on that.

    If you are a fan of intelligent design, also known as creationism.

    DNA won't self-assemble from a jar full of colored water with stuff dissolved. The math has been done on that.

    It's fairy clear that life was originally based on RNA, not DNA. Anybody who wasted their time on calculating the probability of self-replicating DNA assembling at random from random nucleic acids would have to have been regrettably ill-informed.

    Don't know what inhibits your understanding, religion?
    Atoms and molecules self-assemble, then molecules form all sort of stuff, things mix and interact, what goes goes.
    Maybe it is that 'ego' thing : 'We are at the center of it all' that makes people deny they are just a [chemical if you will] process,
    like earth at the center of everything and humming beans as the top of creation.

    Your 'tronix work is exactly the same, experiment, use things out of spec, combine and copy, grab cheap modules that were put together elsewehere etc
    sell to companies that do the same like making fussion...

    It was more likely RNA strings that self-assembled. DNA seems to have been co-opted to provide more a stable genome template early in the process.

    Nobody else does.

    The people who know enough to think usefully about that kind of question don't ask that particular one,

    And don't be a jerk. Nobody likes jerks.

    You should know.

    Not a plausible claim. If you did, you'd be able to talk about the thought processes involved, which you don't.

    you refuse to see reality, could be subconcious.

    If you understand how life occurred on earth, where is your Nobel

    Summary:
    Life on a faraway planet -- if it's out there -- might not look anything like life on Earth. But there are only so many chemical ingredients in the universe's pantry, and only so many ways to mix them. Scientists have now exploited those limitations
    to write a cookbook of hundreds of chemical recipes with the potential to give rise to life.

    Self-assembly, told you so!
    A bunch of bottles filled with chemicals don't generate life any more
    than a box full of electronic parts creates a computer. The issue
    isn't parts, it's design.

    DNA won't self-assemble from a jar full of colored water with stuff dissolved. The math has been done on that.

    A planet is not a jar. Clay-like minerals are catalysts and substrates for reactions
    too slow to be part of our human chemical technology, but that kind of milieu is
    as full of life as Earth's oceans of 'colored water' are, and 'the math' on this subject does not
    tell us that life didn't originate on Earth.

    Don't know what inhibits your understanding, religion?

    Do you claim to understand how DNA self-assembled on Earth? Nobody
    else does.

    And don't be a jerk. Nobody likes jerks.

    Atoms and molecules self-assemble, then molecules form all sort of stuff, things mix and interact, what goes goes.
    Maybe it is that 'ego' thing : 'We are at the center of it all' that makes people deny they are just a [chemical if you
    will]
    process,
    like earth at the center of everything and humming beans as the top of creation.

    Your 'tronix work is exactly the same, experiment, use things out of spec, combine and copy, grab cheap modules that were
    put
    together elsewehere etc
    sell to companies that do the same like making fussion...

    My electronic products didn't self-assemble. I design by thinking, not >>>fiddling.

    LOL

    Jerk.

    Keep you insults, you brain self-assembled too :-)
    You have some religious or other wrong circuit that makes
    you refuse to see reality, could be subconcious.

    If you understand how life occurred on earth, where is your Nobel
    prize?

    Well, life is just a chemical reaction by molecules formed by atoms formed by elementary particles they are trying to figure out in for example CERN.
    As to brain, long ago I started programming neural nets, long before the AI hype of these days (even before year 2000)
    there is plenty of open source so you can have a go at it too.
    You , your believes, your knowledge, your behavior is formed by for example where you grew up, what your parents did (some is also passed on via DNA etc), what
    you experienced in your life, what you came in contact with, what you were told and discovered, call it 'training' of that neural net
    that your brain is, basically.
    That goes all the way from learning to walk to learning to talk and learning to put things together.
    So like those basic particles, atoms, molecules
    **whatever happens around 'them;', is what makes them form - and become part of the bigger structures
    THAT is how life forms.
    And it is, when the chemicals are present and conditions allow, omnipresent.

    So much in this world is controlled by religious indoctrination, make belief Religions were and are used to control people, the Viking lander experiment on Mars was positive for life.
    But the guys funding NASA had it denied, see
    http://www.gillevin.com/

    HE should have been given a Nobel for finding extraterrestrial life
    When a pope can get the poor to pay for his trips and palace by promising salvation if you follow his directions
    we REALLY need to get rid of silly religions.
    Jesus was likely something else entirely.
    Control systems for the masses, from the early medicine men doing rain dances to whatever religions you have today,
    the human neural net is conditioned, for some... group forming, illusions... promises for heaven after death
    All our elementary particles will go back and in this universe will maybe form new things when we 'die'
    As all matter is conscious (it feels and reacts to other matter) we are all star dust and all part of the universe
    And how far that universe reaches, what it is... I do not know, I follow the same neural net laws as I am too, just a chemical reaction if you will, now ain't
    that fun!!
    :-)

    A bunch of bottles filled with chemicals don't generate life any more

    DNA won't self-assemble from a jar full of colored water with stuff
    dissolved. The math has been done on that.

    Only by people with a very large Goddidit axe to grind. They ask the
    wrong question deliberately and get an impossibly improbable answer.

    Life is impossible without divine intervention. They start from that
    answer and construct a fallacious argument to match their beliefs.

    The evidence so far is that wherever there is liquid water and a
    sufficiently long period of geological time there may well be life. Even
    the liquid water requirement might possibly be relaxed to allow for life
    that has evolved to live (very slowly) in solid ice or rocks.

    Don't know what inhibits your understanding, religion?

    Do you claim to understand how DNA self-assembled on Earth? Nobody
    else does.

    DNA was the final stage which replicates much more reliably.

    RNA world came first and we still have viroids today that are nothing
    more than infectious loops of bare RNA targetting mostly plants.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viroid

    Some of them extremely damaging to commercial crops and plants and all
    of them so small even when compared to viruses as to be unfilterable.

    Many biologists who look at evolutionary biology consider them to be the
    last remnants of the original RNA chemical soup world still hanging on
    in a now mostly DNA and cellular one. Diener's hypothesis in 1989 being
    one of the more compelling arguments for them being such a relic.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viroid#RNA_world_hypothesis

    Quite likely before that there were self replicating molecules like
    peptides or polysaccharides that did no more than catalyse formation of
    copies of their own molecular structure from basic ingredients.

    Scrapie in sheep and BSE in cattle are examples of spontaneously arising
    self catalysing molecules that can flip an existing compound into
    another non-functional and even seriously damaging conformal shape.

    When you turn herbivores into cannibals as we did in the UK and then
    further cut corners on the rendering process so that the infective agent
    can survive you end up with a very messy situation indeed.

    And don't be a jerk. Nobody likes jerks.

    Indeed and you should look in the mirror.

    Atoms and molecules self-assemble, then molecules form all sort of stuff, things mix and interact, what goes goes.
    Maybe it is that 'ego' thing : 'We are at the center of it all' that makes people deny they are just a [chemical if you will] process,

    sell to companies that do the same like making fussion...

    My electronic products didn't self-assemble. I design by thinking, not fiddling.

    Actually you seem to spend a lot of time futzing with the numbers (your
    words) in computer simulations which I don't consider designing at all.

    Atoms come with a set of rules determined by quantum physics that pretty
    much determines how they will fit together in different situations. We
    already know that most of the building blocks of life are fairly
    abundant in dense molecular clouds - the sort where new stars and solar
    systems are born. Stars with planets now seem relatively common.

    It remains to be seen what the pristine sample from asteroid Bennu
    contains. I am most interested to see the dates they get for any zircons
    they find in it. Some parts of it could easily predate out solar system.

    Incidentally the observation of a known by-product of oceanic
    photosynthesis on Earth having been seen in one exo-planets atmosphere
    is suggestive that the first stages of life as in coloured slimes is
    quite common. That is also implied by how quickly the Earth ceased to be sterile and inert after it cooled down enough to have liquid water. The
    early ones were red pigmented (absorbing only the highest energy blue
    photons) and not very efficient (but still around).

    Solar system is 4.5bn years old and the oldest identifiable fossil
    bacteria are 3.7bn years old back when the Earth still had a reducing atmosphere. That is pretty quick in geological timescales.

    https://naturalhistory.si.edu/education/teaching-resources/life-science/early-life-earth-animal-origins

    Not much interesting happened for over a billion years or so until cyanobacteria really took off with a much more efficient photosynthesis
    and their by product of free oxygen gas changed the Earth's atmosphere
    to the one we have today (albeit with rather more oxygen in it).

    DNA won't self-assemble from a jar full of colored water with stuff

    Life is impossible without divine intervention. They start from that
    answer and construct a fallacious argument to match their beliefs.

    The evidence so far is that wherever there is liquid water and a
    sufficiently long period of geological time there may well be life. Even
    the liquid water requirement might possibly be relaxed to allow for life
    that has evolved to live (very slowly) in solid ice or rocks.

    Don't know what inhibits your understanding, religion?

    Do you claim to understand how DNA self-assembled on Earth? Nobody

    DNA was the final stage which replicates much more reliably.

    RNA world came first and we still have viroids today that are nothing
    more than infectious loops of bare RNA targetting mostly plants.

    Some of them extremely damaging to commercial crops and plants and all

    Quite likely before that there were self replicating molecules like peptides or polysaccharides that did no more than catalyse formation copies of their own molecular structure from basic ingredients.

    Scrapie in sheep and BSE in cattle are examples of spontaneously arisingelf catalysing molecules that can flip an existing compound into
    another non-functional and even seriously damaging conformal shape.

    That's absurd. Nobody has found or synthesised a self-replicating RNA that could possibly evolve into our life form.

    That doesn't make the proposition absurd

    Life uses chemistry but chemistry isn't enough. What's key is structure.

    Chemistry is all about structure, so that's a non-sequiture.

    Modern cells and viruses have cell walls and encapsulating proteins. Life must have started out without this refinement, so in a very different environment. Replicating that environment isn't easy, and it's no great surprise that we haven't yet come
    close. Imagining that we can't is just as much an exercise in imagination as imagining that we can. It's not a useful exercerise.

    Only to people who fancy that conclusion.

    It hasn't recently. The more successful living cells that were our ancestors probably cleaned out all the relevant energy sources.

    Since nobody can explain life, one might consider all possibilities.

    But rejecting it's spontaneous evolution as a possibility isn't an option.

    Considering all possibilities is a good approach to electronic design too.

    A bit strange coming from somebody who insists in buying his transformers off the shelf and rejects the idea of getting something wound or printed with a turns ratio appropriate to his application.

    Actually they are very close experimentally now. Arguably they may have
    already have replicated the first step in vitro. It will be Nobel Prize
    winning research when it is finally confirmed and verified. eg.

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32023041/

    Various other groups have different plausible chemistries in play.

    Nature had geological timescales to play with. You lack the imagination
    to see how abiogenisis could possibly happen so you cling to your God of
    the Gaps "Just so stories" as a comfort blanket for the superstitious.

    Life uses chemistry but chemistry isn't enough. What's key is

    Structure comes much later. The first step towards life is self
    replicating molecules evolving of whatever sort. RNA and peptide
    combinations look to be highly likely since the right ingredients are
    present in the primordial soup that existed at the outset.

    We may well find that most of them are in the Bennu sample too. I'm
    excited to know what date the oldest grains in that come out at.

    sufficiently long period of geological time there may well be life. Even >>> the liquid water requirement might possibly be relaxed to allow for life >>> that has evolved to live (very slowly) in solid ice or rocks.

    Don't know what inhibits your understanding, religion?

    Do you claim to understand how DNA self-assembled on Earth? Nobody
    else does.

    DNA was the final stage which replicates much more reliably.

    RNA world came first and we still have viroids today that are nothing
    more than infectious loops of bare RNA targetting mostly plants.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viroid

    Some of them extremely damaging to commercial crops and plants and all
    of them so small even when compared to viruses as to be unfilterable.

    Many biologists who look at evolutionary biology consider them to be the >>> last remnants of the original RNA chemical soup world still hanging on
    in a now mostly DNA and cellular one. Diener's hypothesis in 1989 being
    one of the more compelling arguments for them being such a relic.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viroid#RNA_world_hypothesis

    Quite likely before that there were self replicating molecules like
    peptides or polysaccharides that did no more than catalyse formation of
    copies of their own molecular structure from basic ingredients.

    That's absurd. Nobody has found or synthesied a self-replicating RNA
    that could possibly evolve into our life form.

    Actually they are very close experimentally now. Arguably they may have >already have replicated the first step in vitro. It will be Nobel Prize >winning research when it is finally confirmed and verified. eg.

    Various other groups have different plausible chemistries in play.

    Nature had geological timescales to play with. You lack the imagination
    to see how abiogenisis could possibly happen so you cling to your God of
    the Gaps "Just so stories" as a comfort blanket for the superstitious.

    I am usually accused of having too much imagination.

    Your insults lack imagination.

    Considering all possibilities is a good approach to electronic design too.

    'Considering' just means thinking; it's a pretty general term, but not exactly a design virtue. Pruning the decision tree speeds up any algorithm, and the first design to the showroom floor won't be from a 'consider all possibilities' slowpoke.

    Show us some interesting electronics that you've designed.

    You first. Of course you'd have to demonstrate that you'd designed it, rather than adapted it from somebody else's original design - which is a much safer way to operate, though it doesn't always get you want you need.

    Not is this sort of context.

    Your insults lack imagination.

    Pointing out that you lack imagination in this context isn't an insult - it's just a matter of fact. Your arguments are harvested from "creation science" texts, so your own imagination doesn't come into it.

    This might be slightly interesting...
