A group of NASA scientists have conducted an experiment in which they simulated asteroid strikes on Earth to determine whether the origin of life was a result of a cosmic accident.
The belief that the origin of life on Earth may have extraterrestrial roots is solidifying in the astronomical community. Recently, a study was published in the journal ACS Central Science which conducted an experiment to see whether complex amino acids, which are necessary to give birth to life, can be formed on asteroids. And now, a group of NASA scientists have the same thought. In a series of experiments, they simulated the exact conditions that might have been when asteroids struck into a young and barren Earth billions of years ago and could have created life. And the experiment has given the...
