    So is the implication that these rocks splashed down and then the nucleo bases and amino acids danced in the water and made life?

    Hint: if you know the answer, I may need an eli5

      I think the implication is more that these can form in the absence of life. We’d need a lot of space rocks to get just traces. But if they can form spontaneously there, they could form from conditions on earth, too. And that’s more likely to get things started from very simple beginnings.

        You could have simplified the whole thing, AND got to use a kick ass Jurassic Park quote in the process! Essentually what’s being said is…

        Life…uhhh…finds a way.

    This is news??? I watched this exact thing explained on a youtube video years ago called “The history of the world, I guess”.

    This was years ago, and made by some random flash video animator, who’s also a musician.

    Hi, I’m still a piece of garbage!
