RealFeedApp Simulation shows life on Earth could have come from space
A study of 100,000 simulations found that delivering prebiotic chemicals to Earth via comets is highly improbable. Researchers from Cambridge University confirmed that the romantic theory of life's origin from space fails under scrutiny.
- Field
- space
- What they did
- Researchers ran 100,000 simulations of comets hitting Earth to test the hypothesis that life on our planet might have originated from cosmic objects.
- Why it matters
- The results showed that the probability of this scenario is extremely low, which casts doubt on the theory that comets delivered the precursors of life to Earth.
