    Summary:
    How was complex life able to develop on the inhospitable early Earth?
    At the beginning there must have been ribonucleic acid (RNA) to carry the first genetic information.
    To build up complexity in their sequences, these biomolecules need to release water.
    On the early Earth, which was largely covered in seawater, that was not so easy to do.

    So, simple :-)

    Then us, then chips, AI, what's next?

    Given how quickly a misfolded protein managed to propagate as BSE when
    they scrimped on the cooking for cannibalistic cattle feed I suspect
    that self replicating RNA, proteins and peptides are fairly common.

    However, life might still need a fair bit of luck to get started ab
    initio from entirely inorganic but common chemicals in molecular clouds.

    One unusual feature of the Earth-Moon system is that it had large and
    variable tides with a monthly cycle (Moon orbited us closer and faster
    in the distant past). This has the effect of making rock pools that
    isolate from bulk seawater for variable lengths of time up to half a
    month so that the liquid can concentrate (and get warm in the sun).

    Then us, then chips, AI, what's next?

    Fermi's Paradox suggests we are amongst the first in our galaxy to get
    this far. Otherwise robotic alien probes would be everywhere by now.

    Incidentally we may be able to detect industrialised civilisations at a
    truly great distance if they follow the same path as we did.

    Observing CFC's in the high atmosphere can pretty much only come from a civilisation that has mastered organofluorine chemistry. Fluorine is
    just too reactive and calcium fluoride so incredibly insoluble that it
    is all scavenged into an inert form very quickly even if some occurs in vulcanism. You have to separate it electrolytically from a molten salt
    eutectic mix (scary stuff it is too).

    What we need is a test to find the most dangerous people, thieves and

    It could even be a pandemic virus.

    Since we don't yet know what makes them dangerous, we don't know if a
    genetic modification could make them safe.

    Robert Plombin's "Blueprint"

    https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262039161/blueprint/

    suggests that most complex human behavior is influenced by thousands of
    single nuclear polymorphisms, and each dangerous individual would
    require a whole raft of individually tailored genetic modifications.

    It could even be a pandemic virus.

    Only in John Larkin's over-simplified universe.

    for if you speak German
    short one was today
    https://www.tvdirekt.de/tv-programm/sendungsdetails/191122146/leschs-kosmos.html

    last week about the planets, their satellites and all the probes that were sent there.
    some of those programs last for hours,
    on zdf.info on astra1 satellite
    https://www.wunschliste.de/serie/die-planeten-2019

    And of course there is NASA TV on Hotbird 13 East satellite

    All very interesting.
    We are _not_ the center of everything... just an other chemical reaction in a vast space with a few things called neurons
    that perhaps think we can grasp everything ;-)
    Some thing about quantum gravity today:

    I go for Le Sage complex particles also carrying EM radiation.

    Na, I think it is a natural process, happening all over the universe here conditions allow..

    I think it is a bit more specialised than that. You need a planet that
    has something like the three phases of water all present (other solvents
    may be possible). Water is almost unique in that it's solid phase floats
    and protects the bulk liquid of oceans from freezing solid.

    If we find life independently evolved on any of the other solar system
    planest that have or once had liquid water then life is likely to be
    extremely common (but complex cellular life and in particular
    intelligent life could still be rare). We are the result of an arms race between competing species for food with animals at the top of the chain.

    One unusual feature of the Earth-Moon system is that it had large and
    variable tides with a monthly cycle (Moon orbited us closer and faster
    in the distant past). This has the effect of making rock pools that
    isolate from bulk seawater for variable lengths of time up to half a

    Hard to detect too, very small.
    And may not look alike anything _we_ put into space.

    Even so we are the children of a third or fourth generation star.
    There has been about 5-6 billion years for a civilisation around a
    previous generation star to have sent out probes assuming that their
    evolution was similar. Their probes should be here now...


    Incidentally we may be able to detect industrialised civilisations at a
    truly great distance if they follow the same path as we did.

    Also there are great programs on German channels on Astra1 satellite that go into it,
    show equipment, videos and shots taken by various spacecraft and professors talking about what they found.

    The list of chemicals in molecular clouds is getting very long and
    suggestively contains a high proportion of certain common amino acids
    with the most duplicated/redundant codes in DNA.

    Buckminster Fullerenes were seen in space as "dust" of unknown
    composition long before they were discovered on Earth. Amazingly you can extract them from common black soot using benzene but nobody ever did!

    I'm helpful and polite to people and animals; I am dangerous to
    electronic components, which I enjoy torturing.




    It could even be a pandemic virus.

    Like capitalism you mean ;-)

    We have electricity, computers, lots of different foods, vaccines,
    antibiotics, houses and cars and twice the life spans of our
    ancestors. Blame Capitalism. Move to workers paradises like Cuba or
    Venezuela or North Korea or Gaza or Russia.

    Homelessness is also a top in the US.

    Millions of legal and illegal migrants put pressure on housing. And so
    does tons of Chinese fentanyl.

    China is now way ahead of you 'merricans.

    How so? It's run by and for thugs.

    The US is run for and by rich people who don't see the advantage of
    paying and educating their work force well enough to make them maximally productive. China has the same problem, even if the ruling minority rationalises it right to rule with different arguments

    US IQ is falling, its debt (mostly owned by China and Japan)
    increases every year.

    The us debt is bad, but not as bad as many other countries. It will be inflated away.

    Dream on.

    All US really exports is weapons and war and unrest.

    And oil, NG, coal, machinery, airplanes, electronic components, food.

    0il and natural gas are shrinking markets, and in aircraft Airbus now
    outsells Boeing (partly because new Boeing aircraft have taken to having
    bits fall off in flight). Electronic components were never a US monopoly
    and global warming will play havoc with everybody's food production even
    if you don't believe in it.

    Do not think many will buy your Boeing planes after the last problems.
    China, a huge market, just showed their own passenger jet.

    US can force other countries to buy its oil by blowing up the Russia-Germany pipeline
    force us not not to sell our chip technology to China, causing everybody in Europe to pay more for gas and heating,
    but it WILL have a recoil.

    Inflation makes your dollar worthless so you won't be able to buy Chinese and European high tech anymore
    Once you live in tents it is time to review your position!
    With inflation and sanctions against China all your household equipment and electronics like phones will be more expensive.
    I use electronics parts and modules from China that you cannot even come close to in price.
    And those work perfectly.
    Noisy F35 crap our CIA controlled government had to buy from you pollutes the skies here.
    Ultra right is getting stronger and stronger and at some point bombs will rain on US when you least expect it
    Duck under a table if you can still afford a decent table.
    I do not eat any US exported food, dangerous anyways with all those virus experiments over there..
    Chances of being shot are big too over there, even kids shoot each other at schools in the US.
    Maybe the next new weapon your club invents will eliminate earth from the skies....
    or your Faulty will eradicate all life in the US in his next experiment.

    not worth helping the frozen brains.


    Haiti is controlled now by gangs using US made weapons.
    Make some nice products, people do not like to buy war.
    Thousands die in US each year from using Fentanyl

    The US occasionally makes a futile effort to bring order to people who
    won't have it. We did pretty well for Japan, Germany, Italy, and the Phillipines after WWII, which war we didn't start. We didn't start WWI
    either. The US was pacifist, and had a pitiful military, before each
    of those wars. We'd sign all sorts of weapons bans and military limits
    if certain parties would agree and honor the deals.

    Europe has millenia of history of warfare and mega-deaths, which is
    slowly tapering off. I hope.

    Summary:
    How was complex life able to develop on the inhospitable early Earth?

    To build up complexity in their sequences, these biomolecules need to release water.
    On the early Earth, which was largely covered in seawater, that was not so easy to do.

    So, simple :-)

    Then us, then chips, AI, what's next?

    What we need is a test to find the most dangerous people,

    White house has it: biden.

    thieves and >jihadists and Putins, and a genetic modification therapy to make them
    safe.

    You sound very dangerous too, what's it you are using?


    I'm helpful and polite to people and animals; I am dangerous to
    electronic components, which I enjoy torturing.




    It could even be a pandemic virus.

    China is now way ahead of you 'merricans.

    How so? It's run by and for thugs.

    US IQ is falling, its debt (mostly owned by China and Japan)
    increases every year.

    The us debt is bad, but not as bad as many other countries. It will be >>>>> inflated away.


    All US really exports is weapons and war and unrest.

    And oil, NG, coal, machinery, airplanes, electronic components, food. >>>>

    US can force other countries to buy its oil by blowing up the Russia-Germany pipeline
    force us not not to sell our chip technology to China, causing everybody in Europe to pay more for gas and heating,
    but it WILL have a recoil.

    Inflation makes your dollar worthless so you won't be able to buy Chinese and European high tech anymore
    Once you live in tents it is time to review your position!
    With inflation and sanctions against China all your household equipment and electronics like phones will be more expensive.
    I use electronics parts and modules from China that you cannot even come close to in price.
    And those work perfectly.
    Noisy F35 crap our CIA controlled government had to buy from you pollutes the skies here.
    Ultra right is getting stronger and stronger and at some point bombs will rain on US when you least expect it
    Duck under a table if you can still afford a decent table.
    I do not eat any US exported food, dangerous anyways with all those virus experiments over there..
    Chances of being shot are big too over there, even kids shoot each other at schools in the US.
    Maybe the next new weapon your club invents will eliminate earth from the skies....
    or your Faulty will eradicate all life in the US in his next experiment. >>>>
    not worth helping the frozen brains.



    You really hate the USA. To quote a reported Chinese proverb, "If you
    save someone's life, they will hate you forever."

    Oh I do not hate the US, many sane people there.
    My father was imprisoned in Germany in WW2 (he was in the resistance) and was freed by the Russians.

    Your endless clueless babble about history and life and probably other things shows.

    Don't be obnoxious, if you can. Maybe that's just the way you are.

    Pointing out that John Larkin is a source of clueless is unkind, but
    accurate. It's a public health warning - John Larkin may well find it obnoxious, but he does deserve it.

    US Military Industrial Complex just makes war to try to make money,
    make some nice products that people like, THAT would help your economy.

    Yes, NATO member countries should fund their own defense.

    They do. Their military industrial complexes aren't as greedy as their
    American equivalents (who love to sell into Europe too).

    US declining at record speed.

    I think we're doing fine, and the best talent in the world come here
    to play.

    John Larkin has some antiquated ideas.

    Creating unrest all over the globe will only bring the destruction of that club closer.
    MUCH closer.

    The US occasionally makes a futile effort to bring order to people who
    won't have it. We did pretty well for Japan, Germany, Italy, and the Phillipines after WWII, which war we didn't start.

    The US wasn't the only occupying power in Japan after WW2, and even less
    so in Europe. You helped win WW2 in order to survive, not to "restore
    order".


    We didn't start WWI either.

    So what?

    The US was pacifist, and had a pitiful military, before each
    of those wars.

    The US certainly wasn't pacifist after WW1. It didn't invest much in
    it's army, but it did develop the Christie tank suspension

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

    which worked well in the Russian T-34

    We'd sign all sorts of weapons bans and military limits
    if certain parties would agree and honor the deals.

    Europe has millenia of history of warfare and mega-deaths, which is
    slowly tapering off. I hope.

    The US hasn't got a millenia of history. It did have the American Civil
    War which killed about 200,000 people in battle and about 400,000 by
    disease.
