Lightning Strikes Twice: How Life on Earth Quickly Became Independent
In a revolutionary study published in Nature, scientists have discovered that life on Earth could have been formed not only by lightning, but also by an entirely independent process. This process, known as autocatalysis, involves the spontaneous formation of simple molecules that can then act as building blocks for more complex molecules. This discovery suggests that life on Earth could have arisen much more quickly than previously thought, and could have been formed without the presence of lightning. This could have huge implications for the search for life elsewhere in the universe.
