Can life be created spontaneously? Well, a year and a half ago, our master of microscopes, James, was inspired by the idea of spontaneous generation and set up his own little experiment.

Somehow I thought this was going to be about the formation of life on the early Earth, about how it might have gotten started, and asking if that same thing, life just starting from amino acids and the like, can still happen today. My guess would be that it is still technically possible, just extremely unlikely since it is a lot easier for life to come from other life, and offspring of already existing organisms would have a huge head start over anything that might generate from the right conditions. But who knows, there might be microbes on our very planet that aren't at all related to us, perhaps even right under our noses. Imagine how huge that would be to discover.

This makes me think of a related topic: If the earth's first microbes were spawned from naturally-occurring chemical mixtures in earth's early history, then why don't we see that happening anymore?

@Rudol_Zeppili 7 месяцев назад

Because there’s already developed microbes that will eat those organic chemicals, so new life is out competed by the life that already exists which use those developing complex molecules to sustain themselves. I find it interesting because when you think about it, it makes sense that the molecules that make up developing life (or similar chemical systems) would be nutritious to already existing life, and so those complex chemicals never have enough time to evolve into more complex systems, which would likely require millions of years unimpeded, which won’t happen anymore with our current environment.

@dolebiscuit 7 месяцев назад

It's entirely possible that there is an entirely unique microscopic biosphere on Earth that generated separately from the one we evolved from. Perhaps multiple. The problem with discovering it is that the world is huge and microbes are extremely small, and would generally be outcompeted for resources by the predominant biosphere (ours). So if it does exist, it's likely carved out a very tiny ecological niche.

@@dolebiscuitEarth probably has only the one tree of life but there may have been more in the early days. We know that from the deepest rocks to the highest mountains to the hottest hydrothermal vents to the hull of the ISS, all life is genetically related and there's pretty much nowhere that life can't be found on our planet. We know some of our bacteria can thrive even on Mars. If there was another lineage or a thousand of them they would have to contend with the competition and several mass extinctions.

since i learnt about the oxygenation event it fascinated me that anaerobic bacteria have survived all these years with such inhospitable conditions, they literally survive under the soil and inside us just waiting for us to die so they get their turn to thrive, weird how a planet can be so inhospitable and yet so full of life. We are the invaders, our ancestors benefited from that event and we have thrived ever since, what could the world be like if that oxygenation event never happened, how advanced could anaerobic life get if it was given as long to evolve with favourable conditions as our ancestors had, if they are the dominant form of life in the universe then it could be anywhere and everywhere across the universe

@ImHeadshotSniper 7 месяцев назад

to me it seems weird why they ignored it when they literally talk about "abiogenesis", but then ignore the most popular experiment regarding it. i might be being too cynical here, but i know Hank is religious, and i could easily see this video as being an attempt to suggest to viewers that something magical like an almighty Gawd initiated life, ESPECIALLY since devout religious people hate the idea of abiogenesis so much since it doesn't align with fundamental theistic "creation" stories. Hank literally says at the end of the video that "we concluded that life can't come from nothing" which is firstly wrong, and secondly sounds like the talking point of a fundametal theist.

@Oisaiahj 7 месяцев назад

@@ImHeadshotSnipersaying life can't come from nothing is wrong? What's next saying the universe can't create itself is wrong too?

@ImHeadshotSniper 7 месяцев назад

@@Oisaiahj by nothing i meant "non life", and by "something" i meant life. i should have clarified that to be fair. i have no intention of making the claim that life can spawn from a complete lack of mass and energy(aka Nothing), because this would break the laws of physics and also plain wouldn't make sense. (not that it has to) this was my main point. theists who do not consider the possibility of abiogenesis often have their own alternative theory of how life exists, often attempting to suggest some kind of magical influence, and not a natural progression. meanwhile, they don't know. nobody does to be fair, but one should never make assumptions, because it makes an Ass out of Umptions. is that how the saying goes? (just kidding :P) if you consider a fundamentalist Christian for example, anything which doesn't agree with "6000 year old Earth" "Earth created in 6 days", etc. etc., is not reliable to them, because they have faith in the stories which contradict many other theories.

@Oisaiahj 7 месяцев назад

@@ImHeadshotSniper I'd say the point of view of the Bible coincides with scientific theories to an extent. In the Bible plants and animals are made from the earth with the help of "mist" or water. The 6 day creation is more of a 6 day planning phase, as it states God creates and sees plants in Genesis 1:11, but then in Genesis 2:5 it states the earth didn't have plants until it had rained. This shows us God was planning out and seeing the future state of things during these 6 days. Scientific theories are similar to this, yet because science has a blind approach to figuring things out they differ in theory, but they may not in practice.

@idegteke 7 месяцев назад

A key info is missing: what is the definition of “spontaneously” here? It has changed quite a bit along the way, hasn’t it? This constantly updating definition now contains the disclaimer that it all fully depends on our current capability of recognising ways genetic information could get inside the closed jar. Also, a very closely connected question would be whether mindless atoms are capable to “spontaneously” self-assemble themselves into proteins to start with? Or, to ask a precise question, shall I define “mindlessness” first? And will this comment ever end?

Wouldn't "spontaneous generation," specifically "abiogenesis," have to exist given current theories about the origins of life? At one point, life in the universe was nonexistent, then life (as we define it) came into being. The "spontaneity" would be the very moment in which it changed from what we consider nonliving to living... Right? It might be a protracted process of millions of years, but the metric by which we define life would necessitate a specific instance in which the qualities we use to define what is living goes from not met to met, and that instance or point of transition would be "spontaneous," and an example of "abiogenesis"... I think... "Spontaneity" by human perception of a couple hours or weeks, vs "spontaneity" in a comsic sense are probabily not equivalent, right? I mean, humanity is just a blip in the history of the universe, afterall... If anyone has any thoughts, please share!
