New Study Shows E.T. Has Many Homes

A new study called, get ready Nerds, “A thermodynamic basis for prebiotic amino acid synthesis and the nature of the first genetic code,” compiled by Ralph Pudritz and Paul Higgs at McMaster University in Canada is claiming that life in the Universe may be inevitable where there are the basic chemical building blocks and that the code for life, D.N.A. is built into the very basic physical laws of the universe. I wrote that sentence before coffee!

Life is built on 20 amino acids and the most basic first 10 are all that is required for basic pre-biotic life. The first 10 seem easy to cook. The laws of thermodynamics seem to apply to the formation of these amino acids and therefore life. If life is a natural evolvement from simple to complex states given the right chemistry (now found to be even more common) and based on the universal law of thermodynamics then life is likely to be all over the place, sticking around and thriving in every galactic nook and cranny. It’s time to get those probes a poppin to Titan and/or Europa to see what’s swishing around in Titan’s tidal pools or in Europa’s maybe salty internal oceans. Via DailyGalaxy and Wired.
