Are asteroids responsible for the universe of life on Earth ? late experimentation back up a theory that the basic ingredients for life came from beyond the sensation … which seduce us all aliens . Battlestar Galactica was right !
scientist have long thought that the Earth was n’t formed with a lot of organic thing , due to the planet ’s proximity to the sun , but were shy where we generate the necessary chemical compound for lifetime to thrive on the planet . Now scientists believe that the response may lie on meteors and comets die through Earth ’s atmosphere .
New Scientist reports on experiments carried out by Peter Schultz of Brown University in Providence , Rhode Island and Seiji Sugita of the University of Tokyo , Japan , which indicate that , although constitutive compounds on the object would get burned up on atmospheric entry , that ’s not the ending of the story . Schultz :
The idea in the past has been , ‘ Any of this stuff coming through the atmosphere would be heated to the breaker point where it would get wasted … What this novel work did was to show that we might actually revive these compounds .
What Schultz and Sugita trust is that the flash result from objects burn up on ingress produces cyanide , which they believe could have react with the Earth ’s already existant compound to form more complex , carbon - containing molecules that would at long last show essential to solid ground - free-base life . It ’s not as spectacular as cylons and humans landing on our satellite , but it ’s a possible resolution to a long - brook question … and an appropriately cosmic blood for life on the major planet .
