Paper Finds Earth May Have Been Terraformed by “Advanced Extraterrestrials”
One of the longest questions in biology: How did life emerge?
Research on the subject is abundant, but no one has accepted. And according to A new paperThe chances of the pure chance in the world are so thin that our planet is seeded by “developed extraterrestrial”.
Robert Endres, Professor of System Biology of Imperial College, acknowledges that the emergence of life can still be the result of chemical reactions that are still highly irregular. Today the Universe reportsIt leaves this much more exotic possibility.
“The aliens did this” hypothesis “violations Occam’s shaving machine”, Unpublished PaperBut he refuses to exclude it as a “speculative but logical open alternative”.
Panspermia is the theory that life spreads to the universe through planetoids, asteroids or other natural objects. Push the idea one step further and you landed on the “directed panspermia”: the hypothesis that an extraterrestrial civilization deliberately brought birth to the world.
Theory It was first recommended in the early 1970s To explain the incredible probability of life in the world. Even then, the writers, including the famous molecular biologist Francis Crick and the Institute of Biological Studies, have discovered the spiral structure of DNA and admitted that “scientific evidence” was “insufficient” to say something about the possibility.
For his research, Endres developed a “the difficulty of assembled the difficulty of assembly of” configured biological information under reasonable prebiotic conditions “” information theory and algorithmic complexity “.
Eventually, it concluded that a “completely random soup, which consists of molecules on earth, was” very loss “and” a kind of prebiotic information structure should come before the Darwinian evolution “.
Endress also investigated the question of whether our planet is terrafforme by another species.
“Today, people are seriously thinking about Terraforing Mars or Venus in scientific journals.” “If there are advanced civilizations, curiosity, necessity or design – it is not unreasonable for them to try similar interventions.”
Still, he confesses that it is a long shot.
“Calling Terraforing, adding explanatory complexity,” calling Terraforing adds. ” “And if we can’t prove that Abiogenesis is inevitable, it remains consistent with thermodynamics,” he added, referring to a hypothetical natural process that life will be caused by non -living substance.
