Panspermia is one of my favorite theories, and one of the theories I hope is true the most.
That Dinosaur killing asteroid ejected rocks can one day give life somewhere...
To me, Panspermia always sounds like the worlds worst possible fry up.
The intro for Spore had exactly this scenario - a meteor strikes water and smol life evolves
I hate that panspermia is sometimes framed as an alternative to abiogenesis to explain the "origin" of life. It is merely a hypothesis of transmission of life or the materials responsible for it across space, not anything else.
"We drift through space, pushed on by the solar wind. The function of all life is survival." - "Invasion of The Bodysnatchers"
We are a footnote to the dominant lifeform on this planet- Bacteria. They exist thousands of feet down in the earths crust. We keep finding them in the most extreme environments!
Wonderful as always Anton. Thank you. 😁
Surprised you did not mention the Tardigrade experiments. Same deal with the outside of the ISS and they too survived. They are sometimes called the "Lazarus Bug" because they are so hard to exterminate.
This video simply strengthens my belief that life is so much more resilient than we have ever thought. We judge life on our own human existence but that is the wrong way to approach these ideas. Thanks, Anton, for this video. Keeps my mind hopeful that we will indeed find life in our solar system outside of Earth.
