The mysterious origins of life on Earth - Luka Seamus Wright
Рет қаралды 1,170,429
5 жыл бұрынWhere on Earth did life begin? Explore the hydrothermal vents in Earth’s crust as simple compounds gave way to complex life.
--
Billions of years ago, simple organic compounds assembled into more complex coalitions that could grow and reproduce. At the time, Earth had widespread volcanic activity and a hostile atmosphere that made it almost devoid of a suitable environment for living things. So where did life begin? Luka Wright searches for the cradle of life that gave rise to the billions of species that inhabit our planet.
Lesson by Luka Seamus Wright, directed by Nick Hilditch.

LUCA, a simple organism without consciousness, struggling into existence, could never know how intelligent beings created from its humble existence, would be so fascinated by it that they set out on a great journey in search of it, and wondered in owe of its impact on this great planet, and possibly on the universe. Imagine how our super intelligent descendants would look in themselves for us, and wonder in owe of our role in their creation.

The thing that kinda screws with me is the fact that a reaction between materials somehow became so complicated that it developed wants and needs. How does an element grow to be that complicated, how would a reaction between water and other elements end up in conciousness. It's like if you just mixed sulphur and iron and it somehow started to make energy and duplicate. It happened once, but i just don't fully get how that could work. Edit: Dayum, i sparked a conversation, awesome, but i wasn't theorizing about god, i feel like, and i don't mean to offend, but i feel that a god is a cheap answer to a complicated and interesting question, how did a group of inanimate materials grow to become something as complex as biological life. We have evidence for evolution, through records of various animals that evolution is a thing, and it's pretty logical when you think about it. Most of this data comes from animals that survive disasters. What we see then, is that the groups that survived were those, that through random mutation, chance, or just existing genetics, were better suited than other members of their species to handle natural disasters, their descendants then carried those traits with them. The part of the species that didn't have the needed traits died off, while the ones that did have those traits, survived, and had their genes carried forth, and the species evolved, now better suited for their enviroment. You can look it up, it's about a group of lizards on a tropical island, it's an interesting watch, for both those that believe it and those who don't. Watching stuff like that, understanding it, and making your own opinions about that is the only way to learn.

I just have a humble opinion but, if certain people believe that aliens do not exist, or we are the only life, then that means a god, personally i believe my god, had to have created us because something cannot come from nothing. Now if you believe in aliens, it could have been possible that they started us off with some life when they were failing or what not, but i think these stories of random organisms forming from water and rock just makes no logical sense.

@draygoes 3 ай бұрын
The short answer to that question is likely yes. Here's what I think might be a good way to look at it. Life matters because it is and wouldn't if it wasn't. The main question we often ask is "what's the meaning of life" and I say that has a few answers. The most obvious answer comes from observing life and finding out the one thing it has in common, reproduction. So to that end, your goal is to have kids. Outside of that, how much life matters can be correlated directly if you know the exact impact on every being you have ever had on any living being your life has touched, no matter how lightly. I'd say your life matters more to the species the more net positive impact you've had. With that said, the only remaining metric is how much it matters to you.

If life only emerged on earth, in this whole vast universe then imagine how special a natural phenomenon it is. I don't think it's possible though. I think it's a convergent emergent phenomenon because the laws of physics must be consistent across the universe meaning the same process must happen under similar conditions in other parts of the universe. There must be life elsewhere in the universe.

@Who Cares? whataboutism ? Granted, that theory of the origin of life is grounded on faith. What is proposed in this video, if you know anything about molecular biology takes wishful thinking to new heights. Molecules assembled and became simple cells and cells learnt how to divide and harness energy from hydrothermal vents and then bilions of years later humans happened ? really ?. The creationist rejects evolution at all costs by invoking a creater and grounding himself on faith.. The evolutionist on the other hand thinks himself a rational being and is deeply averse to the idea of a creator so life must have happened by chance no matter how insane and improbable the odds are. In both cases, your starting point determines your outcome. But the evolutionist refuses to admit his theory is equally grounded on faith and thats the funny part. Read Darwins Blackbox.

Hm Grraarrpffrzz let me cut it short, in our reality things don’t just “happen”, there is a little thing called the universal law of cause and effect; modifications in the status of a system are endogenous and/or exogenous. These changes are regulated, at their root, by the fundamental forces of the universe. So no, I don’t have to demonstrate there’s a reason things happen🤦🏻♂️, not only common sense and 2500 years of philosophical/logical thinking exempt me from doing it but the functioning of our universe itself does this. I hope I’ve been clear, i won’t spend anymore time on this; be patient, English is my second language
@hmgrraarrpffrzz9763 5 жыл бұрын
@@cornerseeker9167 Corner Seeker _"in our reality things don’t just “happen”"_ Ooooh, now I understand what you are trying to say. Ok, as English is not your second language, as you said, let me explain: you are confusing "reason" with "cause". A reason requires an intent. A cause does not. For example, there is no reason behind the eruption of a volcano, as it's just a natural processes without an intent. However, a volcanic eruption has a cause (pressure building up due to plate tectonics and whatnot). So, you have to use "cause" instead of "reason". And you are right: currently it's not exactly known how the first life formed. However, that doesn't mean that there is no cause, or that abiogenesis is incorrect. It also doesn't mean that deities and miracles exist. It simply means that we have to do more research. _"i won’t spend anymore time on this"_ That's what all religious people do: they shout out silly nonsense and then run away from a discussion as they can't support any of their claims with rational arguments.

I find it amusing that the video begins with the confident conclusion that life started by a random accident - but then spends the rest of the video admitting we don't really know, have never seen it happen and are only speculating. We know the simplist life form is a machine beyond anything humans have ever created (unless you can give me an example of a living machine humans have made that can build a copy of itself). We know even simple machines need a designer (unless you can give me an example of a machine that can come about by an accident) Why is the idea life might have been the product of some intelligence forbidden?

The "lost city" in the Atlantic Ocean as the location for the source of life seems rather unrealistic, considering the Atlantic ocean didn't exist back then. Last I recall learning, dinosaurs were roaming the earth when Pangea was around, and the Atlantic Ocean formed when those volcanic rifts began splitting the super continent apart.

Life had an origin long ago, before this world existed, before life as you know it existed in this world, before you took form and became an individual in this world. Life existed with no alternative to life, complete, whole, engaged, all of Creation, magnificent, beyond words and expression, life in the purest form in myriad expressions, creative but harmonious, life that still exists within you at this moment, deep beneath the surface of your mind. But there was a Separation, and the Separation created the manifest universe that your senses report to you. As there could be no alternative to Creation, God created the manifest universe for all sentient beings who would choose Separation-a place to live, to learn and to taste the small pleasures and the great difficulty of living apart from Creation. ~ Marshal Vian Summer, The Origin

@@gabrielfrance91 But how do we know what type of life is there and in what form and level of sentience and intelligence? We barely know how life was formed here on earth and the variety of forms it could have taken. Europa could have humanoid creatures similar in intelligence and nature to us, or they could be completely different to the point where we'll need a new Classification system beyond even Kingdom in order to identify that life. It's amazing when we think of the possibilities. Can't wait till we are able to travel there and explore. Or maybe life on Europa is very simple(which will still be beyond interesting for scientists). Or maybe life simply didn't form there and it was a rare event that only happened on earth and not Europa!!!

The concept of a hydro-thermal origin for abiogenesis seems plausible until you consider the following *RNA requires UV light in order to form prebioticly via a "Cyanosulfidic Proto-metabolism". *Replication of RNA polymers or relating would require cycles of hot, cold, wet, and dry which do not exist at the bottom of the ocean around vents. *The oceans are massive and any molecules like RNA or amino acids would dilute immediately making any sort of chemistry difficult. *Fatty acid vesicles are not a fan of salt water with high level of pH. *Most cells today have pH levels lower then that of the oceans. *proton gradients naturally occurring or not are useless unless you have some sort of system in place that can convert it into usable chemical energy for useful chemical functions. *Life that exists at the bottom of the oceans today require oxygen levels that were only possible because of photosynthetic life in the first place. These are a few examples of why a hydro-thermal origin for life on earth is unlikely, while it probably isn't impossible for some form of life to get started around hydro-thermal vents, for the reasons listed above, it probably would not be based on RNA or DNA and would likely be very simple as resources and cycles would be rare. This of course makes it more likely that life started with a hot spring origin or something of equivalent.

Simple ribozymes could play a large role in the genesis of life, not really requiring very many moving parts, just some nucleotides that happened to bind together and propogate in similar fashion to prions today. Not sure what to do about the Fatty Acid membranes though in such an environment. Fun to think about though, "RNA world" vs Lipid world
@evidentual3933 4 жыл бұрын
@@xxNoFreeWillxx If you read my post i addressed why RNA existing at hydro thermal vents would be a problem, i am not denouncing self replicating ribozymes as a possible precursor to early cells, im only stating that such a system would be very difficult if not impossible to establish at hydro-thermal vents and that such a system would not have been able to take advantage of the hydrogen pumps or natural proton gradients until sufficiently efficient and specific machinery evolved to do so, this is why i believe that a hot-spring origin or something equivalent on the earths surface was a far more likely situation.
