NASA may have just confirmed a theory revealing the origin of life
New science from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory may finally have an answer to a question billions of years old: Where did life come from?
The study, led by Laura Barge and published in German science journal Angewandte Chemie, demonstrates how vents on the ocean floor can generate enough electricity to power a small lightbulb. It was a eureka moment, one that seems to support a theory first formed in 1989: that these ocean floor vents were the source of an electric zap that may have shocked the first life on Earth into existence. To prove it, they grew their own electric ocean vent in a lab.
Awesome!
