Nebular Clouds --The 'Engines' of Life in the Universe?

Nebular Clouds --The 'Engines' of Life in the Universe? | Science News | Scoop.it

Nebular clouds are thought to be most likely environment for synthesizing and promoting the evolution of molecules needed for the origin of life. Giant gas nebulae such as Orion are storehouses of sugars that form ribose -- the backbone of RNA. With a universe full of sugar, it's possible that early RNA worlds were generated and are evolving in their own unique ways throughout the observable universe. RNA coding is what gave primitive cell structures the catalyst they needed to become life.

"Humans May be One of the Early Advanced Species in Our Universe" -- Dimitar Sasselov of Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics

"Humans May be One of the Early Advanced Species in Our Universe" -- Dimitar Sasselov of Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics | Science News | Scoop.it

Intelligent life may be in it's "very young" stage in the observable Universe. Its 200 billion galaxies show a clear potential to continue on as we see them today for hundreds of billions of years, if not much longer. Because planets and life are so young in our Universe, says Harvard's Dimitar Sasselov, perhaps "the human species are not late comers to the party. We may be among the early ones."

A universe without purpose

A universe without purpose | Science News | Scoop.it
The illusion of purpose and design is perhaps the most pervasive illusion about nature that science has to confront on a daily basis. Everywhere we look, it appears that the world was designed so that we could flourish.
