If the deep marine hydrothermal setting was the site for the origin of life, then abiogenesis could have happened as early as 4.0-4.2 Gya. If life evolved in the ocean at depths of more than ten meters, it would have been shielded both from impacts and the then high levels of ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
A scenario is a set of related concepts pertinent to the origin of life (abiogenesis), such as the iron-sulfur world. Many alternative abiogenesis scenarios have been proposed by scientists in a variety of fields from the 1950s onwards in an attempt to explain how the complex mechanisms of life could have come into existence. These include ...
In 2007 Russian expert in plasma physics Vadim Tsytovich together with German and Australian colleagues published a paper in which they speculated about plasma-based inorganic living matter, extrapolating from computer simulations of self-organization reported in plasma. [12] [13] The simulated conditions can exist in nebulae. Tsytovich claims ...
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek. Traditional religion attributed the origin of life to deities who created the natural world. Spontaneous generation, the first naturalistic theory of abiogenesis, goes back to Aristotle and ancient Greek philosophy, and continued to have support in Western scholarship until the 19th century.

It is possible to quantify panspermia models and treat them as viable mathematical theories. For example, a recent study of planets of the Trappist-1 planetary system, presents a model for estimating the probability of interplanetary panspermia, similar to studies in the past done about Earth-Mars panspermia.

Abiogenesis or biopoiesis is the natural process of life arising from non-living matter such as simple organic compounds. Subcategories This category has the following 4 subcategories, out of 4 total.
It can be seen that, for example, one third of the mutations of the [001] molecules will produce [000] molecules, while the other two thirds will produce the class 2 molecules [011] and [101]. We can now write the expression for the child populations n i ′ {\displaystyle n'_{i}} of class i in terms of the parent populations n j {\displaystyle ...
A request that this article title be changed to Non-planetary abiogenesis (or similar) is under discussion. Please do not move this article until the discussion is closed. There are several hypotheses of the possibility of life originating in the universe in places other than planets.
