Mcrolightning generated by the oceans may have sparked life itself. My Medium article dives deeper.
A century of origin-of-life theory may be wrong.
Not lightning in the sky—but invisible microlightning in ocean spray may have sparked life itself. Tiny sparks, everywhere. Paradigm shattered.

🌌 🧪 🔭 New video!
The moon Europa might look frozen and dead, but beneath could be a whole world powered by chemistry: vents, hydrogen & oxidants. If life can survive in Earth’s darkest places, why not there? One of our best bets for finding alien microbes.

The complexity debate extends to early life. Participants suggest that for even simple cells to emerge, specific conditions, like those found in hydrothermal vents, might have been crucial for concentrating molecules and kickstarting reactions. #OriginsOfLife 5/6
